2015 Victory Ness MagnumEdit
The 2015 MY Victory Ness Magnum sports a powerful, air-cooled, four-stroke, 1731cc, 50-degree V-twin mated to a six-speed manual transmission with overdrive, which ensures comfortable cruising speeds as well as enough acceleration for fast highway passes. The race-inspired inverted cartridge front fork offers, besides a plush ride, a modern touch to this bagger. A big, 21" alloy front wheel dominates its visuals, besides offering improved maneuverability. Touring capabilities are ensured by the hard, color-matching saddlebags and a high-performance, 100 watt, 6-speaker audio system inside the fork-mounted fairing.
The Ness Magnum comes with a special, Ness Midnight Cherry paint and graphic scheme, which is applied even on the rear fender closeouts, the saddlebag hinges and lock bezels, the headlight/taillight bezels, as well as in the dashboard and radiator shroud.
