Let's talk about Victory Hammer 8-Ball.
It is a lower seat, Cheaper specification version of the Hammer muscle bike.
This bike is like mini monster in comparision to other bikes hammer has released.
It still has the same gusty motor, but instead of twin front brake disc it has a single caliper and rotor, plain black paint instead of the more upmarket finish usually seen and the suspension is lowered front and rear to drop the seat 17mm.
The footpegs have been further back to suit short riders too. In my opinion, this result is a loss of ground clearance and braking capability
- Now about Ride Quality and brakes
If you feel the need for the lower seat, we have to accept you can't ride it through the turns so hard.Instead of double disc brake bike provides only single front disc that is kind of risk for the low bike like this at turns, but the overall experience is really good and adventures. It will give you feel like you are riding a mini version of Harley Davidson.
It feels like riding a Harley Davidson's pushroad but have alot of difference in engine both the models have a lot of different.Unlike Harley-Davidson pushrod engines, Victory's DOHC 1731cc Twin is a modern feeling engine. It sits in a happy middle ground between the characterful but crude Hogs, and the smooth and anodyne parallel twin of the triumph Thunderbird. 90-odd bhp and 113lb-ft off torque is serious shove.
- Build Quality and Reliability
I can say the key attractions of Victory's, especially next to H-Ds, is build quality. There are very few nasty or cruddy details, and paint metal finishing is to a very high standard.
The 8-ball is the cheaper version of simple bikes, so you get very little.there's no rev counter.
You will get one less brake disc.
There's pillion seat under the cowl, but it's barely worth mentioning, let alone using.
It's a muscle bike buy a Tourer if you want loads of features and gadgets.
It will cost you around 12, 00, 000.
