Motor Cycle News Honors Victory Vision in Bike’s First Year in England
MEDINA, MN (Dec. 1, 2008) – The award-winning Victory Vision is now an international award winner, as it was recently named “Tourer of the Year” by Motor Cycle News, the U.K.’s largest-circulation motorcycle magazine. Plus, the Victory Vegas 8-Ball was a finalist for the magazine’s prestigious honor of Cruiser of the Year.
Motor Cycle News (MCN) is the U.K.'s best-selling motorcycle publication with a weekly circulation of nearly 130,000 and a popular website (www.motorcyclenews.com). The magazine’s 12th annual award ceremony was held November 27 in Birmingham, England, with British comedian, actor and lifelong motorcycling enthusiast Alan Davies as the host. The award winners were determined by a panel of industry experts assembled by the magazine.
"This is a fantastic finale to Victory's celebrations of its 10th anniversary year," said Ross Clifford, General Manager of Polaris Britain Ltd. "It's a great honor for Victory to pick up an MCN Award at its first attempt and it represents a significant step forward in the company's international expansion plans for the brand."
Introduced in the U.K. during the past year, the Victory Vision has set a new high standard for luxury-touring motorcycles. It features progressive styling, outstanding performance from its 106-cubic-inch Victory Freedom® V-Twin, and the segment’s fullest complement of comfort and convenience features. Victory Vision riders enjoy seats with 4” of plush cushioning, an adjustable windshield and side wind deflectors and long floorboards for the driver.
Cruise control and an AM/FM audio system are standard equipment on every Victory Vision, which can also be equipped with heated hand grips and heated seats, GPS, CB radio, a driver-passenger communication system, satellite radio and integration of an MP3 device.
Every Victory Vision has dual side storage compartments integrated in the bodywork, and the Victory Vision Tour has a spacious rear storage compartment that provides a passenger with a well-padded backrest.
The Freedom 106/6 V-Twin has a smooth-shifting 6-speed transmission with 6th gear as true overdrive. A wealth of accessories are available from Pure Victory Gear, including chrome trim, custom wheels, performance exhaust systems, cargo carriers and more. The Pure Victory Gear collection, which is available from Victory dealers and online, also includes Victory-branded riding apparel, sportswear and collectibles.
