Patience, persistence and a wickedly powerful Victory Freedom engine helped Gregor Moe set a new national speed run record of 165.8 mph on a Victory Motorcycle September 3 at the BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Moe ran a timed mile at 166.004 mph on the Victory Kingpin, then backed it up with a run at 165.6 mph, giving him the average of 165.8 mph that goes into the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) record books for the 2000-M-AG class. The class includes bikes of up to 2000cc with modified frames that are gas-powered but do not use turbochargers or superchargers. The previous class record of 163 mph had stood since 1973.
