It's certainly unique i can't think of any other motorcycle that was baby blue ?I liked the simple pale blue colour of the Rizla with no stripes or flashes. I'd happily remove the Rizla logos and just have the colour.
Triumph offer some of their Bonnies in a similar colour (or used to - don't know if they still do). It was a classic colour on several vintage Triumph models back in the day, like Cubs and bath-tub 350 bangers. Don't think they called it baby blue though..It's certainly unique i can't think of any other motorcycle that was baby blue ?
Back when painting was an art !!!.. im a fan of shamrock green/ British racing greenTriumph offer some of their Bonnies in a similar colour (or used to - don't know if they still do).

In fact vintage bikes often had classier colour schemes than you see today. No stick-on decals and black plastics so they had to apply style from a paint gun, and that was no bad thing.
One of the few things I like about the new V4 Manx Norton is that it's not plastered in graphics, decals and black plastics. Pity it isn't British racing green though.
Baby blue brings up other connotations these daysIt's certainly unique i can't think of any other motorcycle that was baby blue ?
Please tell me the rider's name was Johnnie....

It's probably lighter than a similar displacement Harley because there's a lot of plastic on it. And that's the problem. They were cheaper imitation Harleys. Supposedly quite dynamic to ride (for a cruiser) but without the residuals or the massive brand back-up. Or indeed any sort of back-up.
Backup runs till 2027 through polaris in the states including warranty claims but they could pull the plug after that .. they pulled the plug in 2017 to focus on Indian but committed to look after victory till 2027 ... parts are on their site if one wanted an ugly harley imitationIt's probably lighter than a similar displacement Harley because there's a lot of plastic on it.

That's lighter than the 117 Low Rider S I had. But that had 20 more bhp, USD forks and twin discs. It was actually heavier than the Rocket 3 I had, but it felt lighter because the CoG was lower and there was very little weight transfer under braking. In fact the brakes felt pretty sharp. I agree that that Victory looks under-braked.It aint no ballet dancer
The 2015 Victory Judge (1731cc / 106 cu-in) has a claimed dry weight of 659 lbs to 660 lbs (approx. 300 kg)
Probably why it's for sale: before spares back-up dries up next year..Backup runs till 2027 through polaris in the states including warranty claims but they could pull the plug after that .. they pulled the plug in 2017 to focus on Indian but committed to look after victory till 2027 ... parts are on their site if one wanted an ugly harley imitation![]()
I read somewhere you need to spend pretty much every weekend in the garage just to keep them on the road
