2012 Victory Hard Ball
2012 Victory Hard-Ball – First Look
 After presenting R. Lee “Gunny” Ermey, the former Marine Corps drill instructor best known for his roles in Full Metal Jacketand on History Channel’s “Mail Call,” with a custom USMC-themed High Ball on December 9 at the International Motorcycle Show in Long Beach, California, Victory Motorcycles pulled the covers off a new model, the Hard-Ball. The blacked-out, Vegas-based High Ball, unveiled in January 2011, quickly became one of Victory’s top sellers. Sticking to a winning formula, the Hard-Ball is a blacked-out Cross Roads with height-adjustable ape hangers. Except for minimalist red pinstriping, the entire bike is slathered in flat black paint. Like all models in Victory’s 2012 lineup, the Hard-Ball is powered by the 106-cubic-inch, 50-degree, air/oil-cooled Freedom V-twin, which is fuel-injected and belt-driven with six gears to choose from. For an old-school look, it gets black spoked wheels (18-inch front, 16-rear) shod with blackwall Dunlop Elite tires, but the Hard-Ball’s triple-disc brakes with standard ABS are fully modern binders. Baggers picked up where choppers left off, and the Hard-Ball’s top-loading, locking hard saddlebags that hold 21 gallons’ worth of loot. The Hard-Ball will be available in dealerships starting in February 2012 for $18,999 (add $250 for California).

I think its a decent looking bike. I think in 10 years or so, Vics will be main stream brand.
I don't like the spokes, I have moral objection to spokes on street bikes.

Be interesting to see where the blacked out fad goes. Its nothing new, but its being done factory now. Is it a trend or will you see it in 10 years? I like it, but I also like pretty paint too. Need to have one of each.

I like spokes on all bikes, especially on bikes that stay on the road. My CRF would look really funny without spokes.

The problem with spokes is that you can't just plug a hole. But I think they look great. Although I've read where HD now has tubeless spoke wheels.
