The Victory Core was a concept motorcycle which was unveiled at the 2009 New York International Motorcycle Show.

The main design emphasis for the Core was - as the name suggests, to strip the motorcycle down to its most vital components. Inspired by "Bobber-style" motorcycles, anything which doesn't make the bike go faster or stop isn't included in the design. As the press release states; the "design team felt the name CORE perfectly reflects the essence of this concept motorcycle. It is, in fact, the raw 'core' or center of a motorcycle. There is no traditional bodywork; the motorcycle is effectively turned inside-out with its architecture completely exposed."

Powering the Victory Core concept is a 1731cc (106ci) V-twin connected to a 6-speed transmission with belt final drive. The engine is completely uncovered and is neatly framed by the 5-piece tempered aluminium chassis which itself is a piece of artwork. The unique cast aluminium frame was made by pouring molten aluminium over a sand core, which was removed once the casting was complete.

The seat of the Core concept is formed from African Mahogany and features integrated LED tail/turn and brake lights.

The brakes of the Victory Core concept come courtesy of Brembo and consist of twin 320mm discs and 4 piston calipers up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear. The front suspension is handled by WP 48mm USD forks. The less said about the rear suspension the better. Suffice to say a cushion might come in handy!

In total the Core weighs 212.7 kgs (469 lbs). Pretty impressive when you consider the size of the engine.
