2013 Victory Arlen Ness Vision Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2013 Victory Arlen Ness Vision touring motorcycle, Victory features a 1737.1 cc (106 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 96 HP (70.1 kW) at 3,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 146.5 Nm (108 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 55.3 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.

On the scales, the Arlen Ness Vision measures 394.2 kg (869 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.24 HP/kg (4.11 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 622 mm (24.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,669 mm (65.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
