Engineered by Victory for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2008 Victory Vegas Low pairs a 1638.8 cc (100 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 101.0 x 102.0 mm (4.0 x 4.0 inches) with a 8.7:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Vegas Low measures 295.3 kg (651 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 640 mm (25.2 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,684 mm (66.3 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.
