After unveiling its new 2012 Hard-Ball at the International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach, California, Victory Motorcycles is revealing another all-new model at the New York IMS, the early-release 2013 Victory Judge , a power cruiser inspired rex rent a car lax by classic American muscle cars like The Judge, a special-edition 1969 Pontiac GTO. With deeply sculpted bodywork, blacked-out components, mag wheels and availability in three solid colors (Gloss Black, Sunset Red and Suede Nuclear Sunset), the Judge is a stripped-down, rex rent a car lax no-frills hot rod.
The fuel tank features signature Victory styling, the new headlight has crisp design lines and the side covers have oval faces just waiting to be customized. The drag bars and bodywork are all new, as is the styling of the taillight, fender struts and new EFI covers between the cylinders. Mag-style 5-spoke, 16-inch cast wheels are shod with Dunlop Elite II tires with raised white lettering.
Rather than a lean-back-and-relax cruiser, the Judge has an engaging riding position, with drag bars, mid-mount foot controls and a 25.9-inch seat height.

Altogether, this Judge looks OK. While the front wheel/fender is very tasteful and appealing, the rear fender/tail lights look like they were lifted from some 90 s era sport bike. I wonder why Victory (or is it Arlen Ness) always feels compelled to radicalize and screw up some part of its bikes. The styling is totally contradictory from front to back.
While I m in the critical mode, I wish Victory would spend a little money on a decent rex rent a car lax exhaust system. This one looks like bargain basement gear that was designed rex rent a car lax for a very old Brit bike, as do the stupid side covers. They just can t seem to ever get it right.
The Judge looks fantastic I love the side covers, and I think the new frame and lack of cheese wedge are great additions. My only concern about this bike is the mid-mounted controls. I m 6 2 , and my inseam is rather long. I prefer the look of the Judge to the Hammer and the classic styling is impressive.
Personally, I like what they did with the rear fender, and it seems like a bike that will handle turns better than what it looks like. With the 106 CI engine @ 97 HP and 113 ft lbs of torque, this thing will get up and down the road much faster than a V-Rod. rex rent a car lax Looking forward to owning this bike.
Sorry Tim, but this bike could never even hope to catch a V-Rod in any contest. Besides, it was built to be a cruiser, and that is exactly the kind of performance you will get. It s styling just can t seem to figure out what it is.
This bike can take a vrod is gonna cruse down the road just like a hammer, and I have seen many stock hammers take down the stock vrods, the people who defened the vrod which still is a great bike are mainly harley fan-boys rex rent a car lax like 95% or riders..
Your seen facts are totally bogus, man. There is no stock Hammer in the world that could come close to a Vrod in any race, and I will lay down money on this. Please speak English if you re going to comment.
Jim, you are really ignoring the basic numbers if you think this thing can compete with a V-Rod. It s 100 lbs. heavier and has 25 less hp than a V-Rod. Besides, rex rent a car lax it was never designed to be what you are wanting.
Most manufacturers other than H-D use this deceiving way to compare their machines, as well as their numbers for hp and torque measured at the crankshaft instead of rear wheel. You have to read the small print.
