Victory Vision 800 Pictures
















Victory Vision 800 specs: 800cc parallel twin engine, automatic constant variable transmission (completely without foot operated controls and clutch), storage large enough to accommodate 2 full face helmets, shaft final drive with aluminium single sided swingarm, bladder fuel tank behind the front wheel and a 250/40-18 rear wheel. The idea is a aim and shoot bike with the same storage capacity as a big tourer. The problem with a concept bike like this is that it's very difficult to foresee this in the Victory line-up in any near future.
Notable details include:
# Scalloped brake rotors add a flair to the wheels
# Dual under-seat side-exit exhaust system
# 250/40-R18 rear tire on a 9-inch-wide six-spoke cast wheel
# 61-inch wheelbase, in part mandated by the length of the drivetrain created by the near-horizontal cylinders in front of the crankshaft.
# No foot controls, which apparently means linked brakes controlled by a single handlebar lever
# 28.5-inch saddle height
