Engineered by Victory for the custom - cruiser motorcycle segment, the 2005 Victory Vegas utilizes a 1507.7 cc (92 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 97.0 x 102.0 mm (3.8 x 4.0 inches) with a 9.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Vegas measures 281 kg (619 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 673 mm (26.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,666 mm (65.6 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.
