“BEAUTY “ is in the Eye of the Beholder

Last week Victory Motorcycles unveiled their newest concept motorcycle. Called the CORE Concept it was unveiled at the IMS show in New York.

The CORE is powered by the 106/6 engine (1731cc/6 spd) which is also the platform of the Victory Vision, '09 Jackpot, & '09 Hammer. To show the engine is an integral part of the frame, there are NO down tubes. The 5 piece frame is Aluminum alloy with carbon fiber fenders. 28” Seat Height and 469 lbs. Dry weight, this is the bare essentials of a bike: engine, frame, wheels.


While this bike will probably never see full production, elements of it can easily appear in new models. The only purpose of showing a concept bike to to get reactions from people. So what do you think?
