| A reminder: Zach Ness will unveil his custom version of the new Victory Judge at noon Eastern time today (Jan. 21) at the IMS in New York. He will be joined at the show by Gunny.
Look for photos and coverage of the new Zach Ness custom on the Victory Facebook page immediately after the bike debuts.

New Bohemia, VA | Wow, - I know a few folks that would want one if they were in production at the right price. I love the paint and how he did the rear fender. But, there's no place to put the little honey pillion on - Zack, take it back to the drawing board.... |

Brighton, TN | Like this one a lot better. Don't need no stinking pillion. Almost a road racer. |

Fountain Inn, SC United States | Love this photo, staged as it might be, of Lloyd & Zack. I think they're at the diner near Lloyd's shop.

| I'm surprised by the absence of Luzzy-supplied photos of the "Victory Girls." Maybe he's a changed man. Rev. Luz? |

| Nice Bike but the Bars are clearly not for any long distance. I guess its suppose to have the cafe racer look. Nice job for what was intended. The Cross Country is more my speed. I really do like the Stock Judge ,,, The Black one would be my choice hands down. I have been riding Harleys for many years but when I Test road my first Victory,,, that was it,,, everything changed. I have a huge amount of respect for a company that has only been building bikes for a little more than 10 years an they just keep on getting better an better in styling as well as mechanics and handling. Keep up the great work Victory. |

Orlando, FL | XRSteve, you are 100% correct. That is the bike that Victory should have developed and put to market. But the Zach Custom is one hot little cafe racer and very "hot" in it's own right. Hope they sell shitloads of Zach's bike. Then maybe they will do the one you pictured!!

Natick, MA | Has anyone confirmed whether the Ness version of the Judge is actually going to make it to market? I would absolutely buy that bike as I am actually lookind at a couple of still-in-crate Buell's as a toy and that would be a very healthy option. |

What do you mean? This is a Ness version of the Victory Judge. Ness customizes a LOT of bikes and this is simply just one more of those. So, the answer is "of course you can buy one". Just make certain you have your checkbook ready to pay the Ness's for their "customization.
Now, if you are asking when Victory might offer this. That is not an option. Victory ALREADY stated that this Ness is NOT a "signature series" nor are there any plans to offer it as a Victory Signature Series. If you want it, the only way to get it is to pay a customization shop to do it or buy the parts yourself and do the work yourself. Remember that both Lloyds and the Ness's make a TON of $'s from the aftermarket and THAT is what this version of the Judge is aimed to accomplish. A lucrative aftermarket...
PS - You also realize that this isn't anywhere NEAR the price of a crate Buell, right? Victory's version of the bike is $14K. The engine work ALONE on this one is probably another $5K. The other customization's will likely drive the final price up to $25K (minimum). Is that what you were wanting to spend on this type of bike?

| I saw this bike and it looks great. Like any show bike the price is NOT the point, thinking outside the box is. Hopefully this like other Victory show bikes will get more custom bike builders using the Victory line. I would love to see Russel (Exile Cycle) do a Vic custom. 
As always there were lot of custom bikes on display at the NY show. I was amazed at how many were built from old Triumphs. Maybe Americans are realizing we can have really nice custom bikes that don't come from OCC a$$holes.... |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | Dan, if you want to go sportbiking around on a american V Twin, buy the Buell, the last 1125's have 120 rwhp revs to 10,000+ and are tiny with small wheelbases, they are excellent "on any sunday" bikes. This Ness Victory looks allright, but it's big, the wheelbase looks rangy and the rake is too far out for a sportbike........... |
