The Vision has gone ... sniff. It might not have been classically beautiful, but what a bike!

And in its place? A bike that we should've ridden months ago: the 8-Ball Hammer.

Victory's budget muscle bike is missing a second floating disc and 4-pot caliper up front, but makes up for it with a trip through the paintshop, coming out dripping of night with a liberal dose of attitude. The 250-section rear tyre lets anyone behind know that they've been passed by something special, if they can see past the blinding multi-array LED taillight, and the word from Victory is that this will be staged during our time with it, so it'll soiund as good as it looks.

This is going to be fun!

The story of the Vegas Stripper so far: much more to follow.
