New 2012 Victory Hard Ball

  • Victory Motorcycles unveils it's new 2012 Hard Ball model at the International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach.  Not really a complete new motorcycle, but more of a beefy version of the popular Victory High Ball.

    Setting it apart from the High Ball are Factory Ape Hangers, Saddle Bags, Beefy Tires on Spoked Wheels, Dual Front Disc Brakes and Rugged Looking Flat Black Paint. 

    Along with the addition of saddle bags, Victory also gave the new Hard Ball and additional 1.4 gallon fuel capicity (5.8 gallons) and floor boards... making it a cruiser you can take on the long haul.
