			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Victory Motorcycles PRESS RELEASE</strong></p>
<h2>Stripped down. Bare bones. A bold throwback. The all-new Victory High-Ball rumbles down the road in the spirit of the classic bobber with an outright refusal to sacrifice performance along the way.</h2>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4640" title="2011-Victory High Ball" src="http://bikeadviceusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/2011-Victory-High-Ball.jpg" alt="2011 Victory High Ball Victory: 2011 Victory High Ball Motorcycle" width="374" height="500" />Built piece by piece around the road-pounding 106 Freedom V-Twin, it’s a ride with all the power and agility you’d expect from a Victory.</p>
<p>If you’re a pure rider with a passion for old-school styling, this is the bike you fire up for the first time and never look back. Available in April, see dealer for details.</p>
<p><strong>Ape-Hanger Handlebars</strong><br />
Make a statement with two fists in the air. These blacked-out Apes give this bike its signature profile and send grown men running for their mommies. Pull ‘em down low for a more relaxed, but no less intimidating riding position.</p>
<p><strong>Short Front Fender</strong><br />
Less is more. This shorty front fender offers protection from whatever the road throws your way without taking away from the “bare necessities” spirit of the bobber style.</p>
<p><strong>16-Inch Lace Wheels with White Sidewalls</strong><br />
Wide 16-inch wheels, featuring an old-school lace design with white sidewalls, are a throwback to a classic style and help give our bike a custom feel right out of the box. Wherever you want to go from here, these wheels will take you.</p>
<p><strong>Blacked-Out 106 cu. in. Freedom V-Twin</strong><br />
Like a dark storm cloud rumbling on the horizon, our blacked-out powerhouse will alert the townspeople of your impending arrival. The road-pounding Freedom V-Twin kicks out an incredible 97 hp and 113 ft.-lb. of torque. Hell yeah!</p>
<p><strong>Blacked-Out Exhaust Pipes</strong><br />
Ain’t no chrome here. We gave the High-Ball a blacked-out paint job, head to tail, that gives it all the happy coziness of the Grim Reaper. So if you ever find yourself needing to blend in with pavement, this is your bike.</p>

<h2>The 2011 Victory Hammer S takes the same raw, visual aggression as it&#8217;s brother, the Hammer, one step ahead with blacked out custom detail and exhaust, custom-painted wheels and aggressive paint.</h2>
<p>Hammer S Motorcycles sport a 250mm rear tire, a color-matched cowl, and dual disc brakes up front.</p>
<p>The S model is a limited edition version with special muscle car-inspired styling, and Suede Black and Red with White Stripes.</p>
<p>This ultimate Freedom 106/6 Stage 2 V-Twin Engine has a Stage 2 cam package that allows it to produce an incredible 97 hp and 113 ft.-lb of torque.</p>
<p>The Hammer S also comes with a New louder, street legal exhaust. The stealthy, new black exhaust system complements the blacked-out look of the bike. This new black finish adds greatly to the bike&#8217;s overall styling.</p>

<p><strong>Removable passenger seat:</strong> For 2-up riding, remove the stylish, color-matched cowl and you&#8217;ll find the passenger seat. For solo riding, attach the cowl and ride in smooth style.</p>
<p><strong>Speedometer and tachometer:</strong> The speedometer and tachometer are held side-by-side in a chrome bracket for easy-to-read, heads-up viewing of the bike&#8217;s operating data.</p>

<p><strong>Inverted front fork:</strong> The inverted cartridge telescopic fork has 5.1&#8243; (130mm) of road-smoothing travel and provides a Hammer S rider with smooth, easy steering, in town and on the open road.</p>
