Victory Motorcycles is 10 years old in 2008 and its UK operation will be marking the anniversary at the forthcoming Americana International show at the Nottinghamshire County Showground in Newark from 11th-13th July. Now running for more than 25 years, Americana is described as Europe’s number one American lifestyle event and offers up to 70,000 visitors a long weekend extravaganza of classic American music, cars, trucks and motorcycles. Made at Medina in the heart of Minnesota, Victory Motorcycles is the motorcycle brand of Polaris Industries – a two billion dollar organisation renowned for a dynamic range of ATVs and snowmobiles.
Victory Motorcycles has announced the appointment of a new dealership in South Wales – Real World Motorcycles in Aberdare. Real World opened its doors six years ago and has since specialised in niche brands such as Benelli and Moto Morini. It is in this area of speciality that the dealership has excelled. Founder, Martin Thomas, said of Victory Motorcycles: “I visited the Victory stand at last year’s NEC show and was very impressed with the style and build quality of the machines.
The relaunched International Motorcycle and Scooter Show closed its doors today after ten days which have been hailed by visitors and exhibitors alike as a resounding success. 149,215 people passed through the doors of Halls 1, 2, 3, 3a and 4 of the Birmingham NEC - a brand new location for the Show which had changed its dates to a month later in order to avoid a clash with other European motorcycle shows.
