2012 Victory

When the designers of the 2012 Victory High-Ball went to work, they had one main idea in mind: create a bad-ass machine.

This is evident with the no-nonsense styling of the 2012 High-Ball, from the shorty-front fender to high-rise bars to the spoke wheels to the whitewall tires.

And talk about an engine...how about the power from the same 106/6, Stage 2 V-Twin that the Victory Freedom uses, which puts out 97 bhp?

Regarding paint, the 2012 Victory Highball sticks to the bad-ass philosophy, and is only available in one  scheme: Matte Black. The only white on the bike comes from tasteful white tank sides, and the fat white-walls of the tires.

Simply put, everything from the mirrors to the dual exhausts on the Victory High-Ball is black: handlebars, headlight bucket, triple trees, frame, fender struts, cylinder heads covers - all black.

The bodywork on the High-Ball features the Victory Vegas signature raised spine running the length of the bike atop the fenders and the tank, and the frenched in tail light that keeps the lines smooth out back.

Among bobber- and stripper-style bikes from major OEMs, the High-Ball delivers a unique styling that looks like it just arrived from a pricey custom shop.
