DESIGN drawings have emerged of four potential new models from American cruiser firm Victory, each using a liquid-cooled engine.

Three of the machines appear to share a similar DOHC V-twin engine, along with wheels, forks and swing-arm, but differ in styling and bodywork.

The three drawings are each by a different Victory designer. One is by former Harley designer Richard Christoph, one by ex-Volvo stylist Ryan Black-Macken and a third by Salvador Gonzales.

A fourth drawing, by Greg Brew, deign chief for Victory’s parent company Polaris Industries, shows a more traditional-looking cruiser. It appears to have a different engine, using a belt drive on the left instead of the right.

The drawings could signal plans by Victory to encroach more into the territory of Ducati’s muscle cruiser, the Diavel, with higher-performance machines.

Indian Motorcycles, also owned by Polaris, last year introduced a new range of traditional American cruisers last year to compete Harley-Davidson.
