2008 Victory Vegas Low[edit | edit source]
The engineers from the House of Spirit Lake have designed the 2009 MY Victory Vegas Low for those riders with a smaller inseam and arm length, or for riders who prefer a firmer foothold in the ground when stopped. As opposed to the base Vegas, the ergonomics have been improved by lowering the seat height, the handlebars have been pulled back by 2" and the front brake lever is adjustable, to better suit the riders needs. As all other Vegas models, it features the split tail fuel tank, the big, 21" front wheels, as well as the chrome-plating on the fork, the exhaust system, and the wheels.
In the tech/engine department, it sports an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1634cc, 50-degree V-twin powerhouse paired to a manual, six-speed overdrive transmission.
2009 Victory Vegas Low[edit | edit source]
For riders who have a smaller inseam and arm length, or for those who just prefer a firmer foothold on the ground when stopped, the engineers from the House of Spirit Lake have released the 2009 MY Victory Vegas Low. At its heart lies an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1634cc, 50-degree V-twin powerhouse paired to a six-speed manual transmission with overdrive. As its bigger sibling, it features the new Stingray wheels, which are 15.7 pounds lighter, a split-tail fuel tank, and a raised tip to tail spine. Unlike the base model, the Low version has revised ergonomics, consisting of a 2" pull-back of the bars, a narrower and lower seat height, as well as the foot pegs which were moved 2.25" rearward.
