The 2011 MY Victory Vegas Zach Ness has visual features designed by third-generation custom-bike designer Zach Ness which make this one of the most exclusive and unique machines ever to be built by the House of Spirit Lake. The holeshot engine covers, the hand grips, the foot pegs, the custom stitched leather seat, as well as the paint and graphic scheme, plus a numbered and signed metal plate all bear the Zach Ness signature, and significantly increase the desirability of this two-wheeler among Victory fans, and not only.

The bike sports an air-cooled, four-stroke, 1731cc, 50-degree V-twin powerplant paired to a six-speed manual transmission with overdrive.

The engineers from the House of Spirit Lake have teamed up with Zach Ness to create a limited edition of the Vegas, in the embodiment of the 2012 MY Victory Vegas Zach Ness. This machine has the same engine, drivetrain, chassis and technologies as the base Vegas, but with design elements that truly make it a custom bike. The Zach Ness signature can be found on the handlebar crossbar, the billet wheels, the mirrors and oil line cover, the billet hand grips, foot pegs and engine covers, as well as the chrome-plating on the exhaust and the custom-stitched leather seat. A numbered plate on the engine with Zach's signature can be found on every unit, and even the paint and graphics are unique to this model, represented by a Matte Titanium frame and swing arm, and Suede titanium paint scheme with Ness graphics.
