2012 Victory High-Ball Review
Stripped down. Bare bones. A bold throwback. The 2012 Victory High-Ball rumbles down the road in the spirit of the classic bobber with an outright refusal to sacrifice performance along the way. 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. 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.

Ape-Hanger Handlebars
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 mommy’s. Pull ‘em down low for a more relaxed, but no less intimidating riding position. 1Short Front FenderLess 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.

Two-Tone Tank with New Victory Logo
The matte-black and white color scheme on the tank tie it in with the rest of the bike. Then we ditched the usual badge in favor of a specially designed, painted-on logo that gives this bike a true custom look.

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.
