2012 Victory Vision Tour Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Victory's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Victory Vision Tour pairs a 1737.1 cc (106 cu in) oil & air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 97 HP (70.8 kW) while maximum torque reaches 147.8 Nm (109 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 55.8 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 Vision Tour measures 394.2 kg (869 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (4.06 kg per horsepower). 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 1,669 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.
