Victory

Citing poor market results, Polaris Industries announced its decision to terminate the Victory Motorcycles brand. The process of winding down all Victory-related operations will start immediately, as Polaris concentrates its efforts towards the development of Indian Motorcycles.

The Milwaukee-Eight 114 powered CVO Limited is a twin-cooled, 4-valve per head, asphalt-eating beast that kicks out 124 ft. lbs of torque in luxury. Needless to say, when we had the opportunity to get our hands on one, we couldn't wait to see what all of the hubbub was about.​

Just four Victory models will make it to the markets of Europe, Middle East and Africa for 2017, with the brand new Octane leading the cruiser charge. Bagger and Touring motorcycles will no longer be on offer in the EMEA region, in anticipation of new models in the near future.

Victory successfully contested the Centennial Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with the electric Empulse RR and the Project 156 concept. With wins at their respective classes, Electric and Exhibition Powersports, they managed second and third place in the overall motorcycle classification.

Victory Motorcycles is returning to the TT Zero​ at the Isle of Man with a new electric racer. After achieving a third place finish in its debut last year, the American team will field the 170-hp Victory RR superbike in an effort to reach the top of the podium.

The path that opened when a 1,200 cc V-twin prototype racer contested the Pikes Peak hill climb last June has finally led to the long-awaited production model from Victory Motorcycles. The Octane power cruiser juggles fiery performance on one hand, with entry-level pricing on the other.

First there was the Project 156 naked 1,200 cc V-twin that Victory raced at Pikes Peak in June. Then a pre-production version of this engine debuted at EICMA in the Ignition concept. Now Victory has unveiled the third and last concept model built around its new engine platform.

When Victory ran its Project 156 concept bike in the Pike's Peak Hill Climb earlier this year, a lot of rumors started floating around that it was more than a one-off race entry. The company has put those rumors to rest with the introduction of the Ignition Concept bike at the EICMA show.

With the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb just around the bend, Victory Motorcycles unveiled the final version of its hand-built prototype sportbike that is set to debut at the infamous road race and could give US spectators something to cheers about.

Victory Racing will make its professional debut in European motorcycle racing at the 2015 Isle of Man Tourist Trophy. A newly formed two-rider team on prototype electric race motorcycles will take on the infamous Mountain Course on June 10.

The annual Tokyo Motorcycle show is a "hands on handlebars and bums on saddles" kind of event which, as well as being a world showcase for the latest innovations from local manufacturers, aims to function as a shop window and proving ground for the millions of motorcyclists in Japan.
