Built around Victory's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2011 Victory Cory Ness Cross Country features a 1731 cc (105.6 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 97 HP (70.8 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 56 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 Cory Ness Cross Country measures 347 kg (765 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.28 HP/kg (3.58 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 667 mm (26.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,670 mm (65.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
