More From The Victory Octane Hype Machine + Video
It seems like Victory is taking a page out of Kawasaki’s book and releasing short clips on Youtube hyping up its next machine, the Octane, similar to what Team Green did with the H2 and H2R. Here, Alex Opperman, who is part of Victory’s Racing Development team, shares his thoughts on the new Octane. As a side note, MO has had the pleasure of working with Opperman when he was employed by that other American cruiser company in Milwaukee and came away impressed with his knowledge and know-how. Anyway, see below for the 15-second promo video.
Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
