presentation of the 1700 HAMMER 8 BALL 2016

in the Victory range, the Hammer was the representative of the Muscle Cruisers. This 8-Ball version is more stripped-down, less expensive and very black. The centerpiece of the Hammer 8-Ball is undoubtedly its black Freedom V-Twin engine. Modern and well-balanced, it delivers 92 hp and 140 Nm of torque; this monster of virility offers its share of sensations and a very American vigor. When it comes to Muscle Cruiser dynamism, the Hammer 8-Ball is right up there with the rest, with its 300 mm disc, inverted cartridge fork and 130 mm front tire. In spite of all this, it has exemplary handling in town and remains lively on winding roads. Put a 250 mm tire on the rear of a bike like the Hammer 8 Ball and you'll give the impression that both rider and bike are ready to take on anything. Whatever the road, this tire will stick to it and make the magnificent rear rim proud to team up with it.

even the most independent bikers feel the need for human interaction once in a while. When that time comes, remove the hood and invite your passenger to hop on. Black headlights and mufflers: it's the dark side of the force, the Hammer 8-Ball cultivates a black attitude...

Nothing to complain about after years of hyper sport, with the help of repression and age, I've thrown my lot in with this machine, which is a real treat.

I think it's beautiful and after one try I've fallen for it... Rating : 4/5
Un vrai régal
French PaulAK786 Model 2013
I hesitated for a long time between this bike and a Harley Night Rod special. I rode both for over 50km each. I finally opted for the Victory. First of all, the style: you really have to admit that you don't go unnoticed. At every traffic light, people are blown away by this bike and let you know it! The ride: a real treat! The bike is very easy to ride, despite its weight (305Kg!!), and quite maneuverable, despite what people say about its rear tire. This tire d\'ailleurs.... bluffant! . Torque: pfff, impressive..1731cc! no comment. Acceleration: bluffing and hair-raising. In short.... other arguments could still be added, but in any case, after 1000km, I can say that I made the right choice! Rating : 5/5
French Victory32 Model 2013
Owner since May 2011 of a hammer 8 ball, this bike is a delight in terms of handling, torque and style. The only drawback is the sound of the original pots, too sanitized, but once the pots are changed, it's bliss. Heavy but easy to handle, it's a thrill to ride, from legal speeds to locking the speedo (well, I think so, as I haven't got that far). 15,000km and not a worry, just happiness... Rating : 5/5
