Motorcycle specifications Victory (USA)1700 VISION TOUR ARLEN NESS 2013 A Lord Ness monster

victory's top-of-the-range road bike is called Vision Tour. A liner with generous dimensions, a futuristic silhouette reminiscent of Star Trek's Enterprise, a big 1731 cm3 twin and road-going pretensions halfway between the Electra glide and the Goldwing. Can we do more? Of course: Harley has created CVOs, customized luxury versions of production models. Victory has done the same, with the addition of a high-profile name: Arlen Ness.

the tuner's signature is associated with this edition of the Vision Tour. Already imposing, the vessel is impressive here in its 'Havasu Red' paintwork streaked with black flames, far more shimmering than the very dark 2011 edition. This 2013 series remains very similar to the 2012 - there's only the dominant red instead of orange to differentiate them. Arlen is a renowned tuner, so he adds his plethora of accessories. Ness Billet Wheels, chrome footrests and grips, a lowered windscreen, a patterned leather seat and a trim for the dashboard console all whet the appetite. Then it's time for more attention to detail. Each engine fin is trimmed for added shine and style, and Arlen even adds a hubcap for the oil hose. Each Vision Tour Ness carries a numbered engine plate. Standard features include cruise control, ABS, a Premium audio system, and the finishing touch, a key emblazoned with the Arlen Ness logo. This special series will be sold in homeopathic doses and at a high price. But what class!
