Victory tunes past and present !
Replacing the King Pin, this Victory Boardwalk has crazy class with its extremely enveloping mudguards, whitewall tires, chrome stacked mufflers, long straight tail light and tapered turn signals….
Remarkable without sinking into the flash, it benefits from a visually flawless finish: a very important point on this type of motorcycle. The balloon-type front tire (130 mm wide) also helps to reinforce the character of this beautiful American designed and built in Spirit Lake, Iowa..
Designed on the same basis as the, the Boardwalk is intended to be a much more "custom" variation: as evidenced by its more present chrome, its spoked rims, its handlebars curved towards the pilot, its now prominent and chrome optical unit, as well as its wide platforms instead of footrests.
We find the same tubular steel frame as on the Judge, a 43 mm fork, a "softail" type monoshock and above all the Freedom engine, a V-twin open at 50 ° with air cooling. -oil. Cubing 1731 cc, this block transmits its 93 hp and 140 Nm of torque – as on the Judge – to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox connected to a carbon reinforced belt (full technical sheet under the video below).
Charging 307 kg dry on the scale, the Boardwalk displays measurements accordingly: its 1647 mm wheelbase and its 32 ° caster angle should thus give it foolproof stability! Low saddle (658 mm), it carries 17.8 liters of gasoline in its tank with deliciously rounded lines. This should allow significant steps without fear of running out of fuel, rocked by the muffled vibrations of the v-twin !
And for fans of long trips, Victory also offers a Light touring kit which includes a windshield, a passenger backrest, a luggage rack and saddlebags "Lock & Ride" removable "in 30 seconds", according to the manufacturer..
The price of the Boardwalk for Europe "will not be known until September", informs us Victory France which foresees availability from October.
As an indication, the bike is displayed at $ 15,499 – or $ 1,500 more than the Judge from which it came – on the which changes logo from next August.
New colors 2013
"The idea is to give Victory a real identity as a modern cruiser and touring and thus prepare for the upcoming arrival of Indian who will occupy the land of history and tradition", explains Victory of this new logo.
The brand has also revised its color palette for 2013: the Vision is now available in black, the Cross Country Tour in bronze, the Cross Country in matt Orange and in red (the green color disappears from the European color chart), while the Cross Road Classic receives beige and red dress.
Removed from the American catalog, the Hammer S continues its career in Europe in red and white and in its "8 Ball" version and will be declined a little later in "a very original limited series", assures Victory who has just forged a partnership with the men’s magazine Playboy.
