First Look: 2013 Victory Judge

Victory introduced a brand-new model today at the Javits Center in New York City - the Judge. Dubbed as an early release 2013 model, the Judge has what Victory calls "a powerful silhouette and details that evoke visions of classic American muscle cars."

The bike features lots of blacked-out parts and is available in Gloss Black, Sunset Red and a signature Suede Nuclear Sunset. Graphics are minimal to go with the look of the bike.

The bike is powered by Victory's Freedom 106/6 V-twin (a 1731cc, 50-degree V-twin with a bore and stroke of 101mm x 108mm) - the same powerplant used in all of Polaris' cruisers.

The Judge has drag bars and new bodywork, and five-spoke 16-inch cast wheels shod in Dunlop Elite II tires. The new Victory sits low with a 25.9-inch seat height. It carries a dry weight of 660 pounds.

The newest Victory will sell for $13,999 for the Gloss Black package. The two other colors (Suede Nuclear Red and Sunset Red) will sell for $400 more.
