Vegas High-Ball $13,499
The High-Ball was released in January 2011, and the aggressive cruiser was definitely well received by V-twin enthusiasts. “The High-Ball is our most popular cruiser, we sell more High-Balls than any other Victory cruiser, and it’s number two only to the Cross Country in the entire Victory lineup. It’s also been the fastest sale-through model that we’ve ever had, spending the least amount of time on the dealer floor. When the bike comes in people are excited about it, and customers are buying it. Once they sit on it, or demo ride one, they’re buying it right away,” Pandya says.
Geared more for a younger demographic, Victory’s bobber sits on dual 16x3.5-inch spoke wheels wrapped in beefy Dunlop whitewall tread. It’s powered by a black and white two-tone paint scheme that represents a hot-rod aesthetic. The stylish motorcycle is also outfitted with a powerful 106ci Freedom V-twin engine with 97hp and 113 lb-ft of torque and six-speed trans for a starting retail price of only $13,499, which is probably the best value out there for big twin cruisers on the market. The handlebars are adjustable to either sit high in the upright ape-hanger position or can be tilted back to better fit riders’ varying ergonomics needs. Adjusting the bars is easy; basic tools do the trick in a matter of minutes. The seat height is also the lowest among the Victory fleet at 25 inches, which allows riders to comfortably plant their feet flat on the ground when stopped. The cockpit ergonomics are comfortable but still provide an aggressive feel. Taking the minimalist approach in regard to styling cues, Victory went with a shorter front fender and single-gauge instrumentation including speedo, tach, tripmeter, and warning lights. Less is more, right? Also, basically everything on the High-Ball is black: mirrors, dual exhausts, handlebars, headlight bucket, triple trees, frame, fender struts, and cylinder head covers. This seems to be the current market trend and Victory nailed it with the High-Ball. For cruiser guys looking to enter the big twin market, the High-Ball might be the right place to start. HB
