2012 Victory Vegas 8-Ball Review
A classic cruiser that’s as comfortable on the wallet as it is on the street..
Blacked out, low riding classic cruiser. The ultimate in value.
Victory 8-Ball models have the least chrome and the fewest frills. The most black and the greatest value. Victory pioneered the 8-Ball approach to provide riders with the best values among cruiser motorcycles. Same great ride and performance as the standard models, but in basic black.
New for 2011:
2011 Colour Options
• Solid Black. No graphics.
Pure Victory Accessories for the 8-Ball Models Include:
• Windshields, backrests, saddlebags & other touring gear.
• A wide range of grips, lower controls, covers and trim in chrome, billet or black finish.
• New X-Bow and Tri-Pro Stage 1 Performance Exhausts.
8-Ball models - Vegas and Hammer - have; o The new Freedom® 106/6 Stage 2 V-Twin
• New speedometer features blue backlighting, indicator lights on the gauge face and large LCD that provides: Clock (viewable at all times), gear position, tachometer, odometer, trip meter and diagnostic readouts.
PROVEN OUTSTANDING RELIABILITY
Victory has a track record of consistently outstanding reliability and dependability, which has led to the industry's highest customer satisfaction ratings. This proven reliability, along with the new transmission design, allows Victory to recommend extended oil service intervals for 2011 drivetrains.
• The recommended oil change interval for 2011 models is every 5,000 miles (8,000 km).
• Less-frequent oil changes results in a lower cost of ownership.
NEW TRANSMISSION
The Victory drivetrain team scrutinized every component of the engine and transmission and fine-tuned the designs and performance of numerous parts. Approximately 40% of the drivetrain is new for 2011, with the transmission receiving so many improvements it is virtually a new transmission.
The changes: improved manufacturing efficiency and quality assurance; enhanced drivetrain's already-impressive reliability; improved engine performance; and, for riders, improved ridability and delivered a more appealing-sounding transmission.
• In terms of operating sound, selected modulation frequencies have been eliminated. This produces a more-appealing sound - consistently in each gear. In 4th and 6th gears in particular, gear whine has been reduced.
• Driveline lash has been reduced by 66%.
• "Neutral Assist" has been added to make it easier for a rider to shift into neutral when stopped. This will reduce the rider's effort, will reduce clutch wear and will lessen the performance demands on the oil.
ENHANCED INSTRUMENTATION
All cruisers now have instrumentation similar to that of the Victory Cross Roads, which provides a rider with a wealth of information in one, easy-to-read location. The new instrumentation includes:
• An analog speedometer, which may be set to show MPH or KPH.
• Blue backlighting.
• A large LCD that displays: Clock (time of day is viewable at all times), gear position, tachometer and diagnostic readouts for Victory dealership service technicians.
• The gauge face includes lights such as high-beam and neutral indicators and the oil warning light. Cruisers no longer have these indicator lights atop the triple clamps.
• The Cross Roads instrumentation also has an always-viewable fuel gauge.
CHASSIS CHANGES ACROSS THE LINEUP
All brake calipers, rotors, lower belt guards, and floorboards are black.
• All left- and right-hand switch cubes are black, as are the audio control switch block and cruise control switch block.
• The triple clamp is black on all models except the Vegas Jackpot (which retains its chrome triple), and the Victory Cross Roads (which retains its brushed finish).
• A new side stand on each model features an integrated hooked-end design for easy locating and easy control of the side stand.
• All cruiser exhausts have a larger outlet for improved sound quality and a lower exhaust note.
2012 Victory Vegas 8-Ball Model Highlights
• Low seat height (25.2 inches)
• Blacked out pipes and headlight
• Black stingray wheels
2012 Victory Vegas 8-Ball Features and Benefits
106 CUBIC-INCH FREEDOM V-TWIN
Whether you're finding your way across town or cruising the city's glass canyons, the Freedom V-Twin power plant delivers 97 horsepower and 113 ft lbs of green-light torque with ultimate authority. The heart of every Victory Cruiser machine, it informs the world of your arrival with every crack of the throttle.
6-SPEED OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION
The best performing transmission on the street collects the power generated by the massive V-twin and allows the Vegas 8-Ball to roll fluidly between the curbs. Helical-cut gears ensure that each shift will be as smooth and clean as the bike itself.
113 FT LBS TORQUE
Press the starter and you can feel deep in your chest an eruption of low-end torque. With each precision-tuned piston stroke, the Freedom V-Twin's 4-valve overhead cams and perfectly matched 6-speed overdrive transmission promise to provide unmatched throttle response, acceleration and passing power.
LOW SEAT HEIGHT
The low 25.2" seat height works in tandem with the pulled-back handlebars to ensure a firm sense of mastery over the machine. Combine that with a more rearward placement of the foot controls and you have a rider who stays comfortable from A to B and all the way to Z.
BLACKED OUT PIPES AND HEADLIGHT
Leave it up to the Vegas 8-Ball to take you where no bike has gone before. Blacked out pipes and black bullet headlight take you to the dark side, which leads to the kind of performance that has every other motorcycle scurrying for the light.
BLACK STINGRAY WHEELS
The Vegas 8-Ball's high contrast wheels complement the bike's black styling and deliver smooth, reliable performance. At speed they become fully reminiscent of a storm cloud coming on fast.
STREAMLINED SOLO SEAT
What's good for the rider also happens to be good for the bike. The Vegas 8-Ball's low seat provides a comfortable riding position but also complements the smooth, low profile of the machine.
