For riders who prefer bold, aggressive, muscular cruisers, the engineers from the House of Spirit Lake have launched the 2011 MY Victory Hammer 8-Ball. With features such as the fat, 250mm rear tire, the big, 18" front, five-spoked Stingray wheel, and a race-inspired, inverted front fork, this two-wheeler is sure to stand out in any crowd. And, as in every 8-Ball model from Victory, the traditional chrome-plating on the exhaust, fork, frame and wheels has been replaced with a more aggressive, edgier and modern blacked-out paint.
At its heart lies the new, air-cooled, four-stroke, 1731cc, 50-degree V-twin powerhouse mated to a sturdy, six-speed manual transmission with an overdrive function. This engine is gritty enough for fast highway passes, and has a smooth power delivery for relaxed boulevard cruising.
