Victory Vision Street / Tour
Really crazy
We’re not rewriting America’s motorcycle history, we’re writing its future. ”The US brand, founded in 1998, self-confidence lacks Victory hardly. It shows courage, the two-wheeler division of Polaris, the successful producer of snowmobiles and quads.

Four-valve technology and injection ready
(MOTORRAD 11/2006). That would be great to get the heartbeat of the Visions.
"Fortunately, with these motorcycles," the US advertising poetry writes, "the road is officially open." Not the road to Europe, however. Because the Victorys (info: www.victorymotorcycles.com) have so far lacked both an importer and an EU approval. It’s a shame actually. Or really crazy? tsr
