The vast openness of powdery white plains stretch out in front of you. A place that seems empty as far as the eye can see. A place so barren, it has been said, you can see the curvature of the earth.
But several times a year, this place roars to life as some of the fastest machines on earth come here. The place is Utah's famous Bonneville Salt Flats and this year, a new bike built with the flats in mind makes its debut.

Star Stratoliner and Victory Cross RoadsTyler Hopper
AllAboutBikes.com Staff Writer
Are they brothers from a different mother? Seriously, Star Motorcycle’s 2010 Stratoliner looks strikingly similar to something in Victory’s lineup called the Cross Roads. Starting at the front, these bikes look like twins, well maybe distant cousins. But you can still tell they are related.
The front fender of the Stratoliner appears meek and timid compared to the mammoth installed on the Cross Roads. The headlights, while they are both designed to light your way in the darkness, have totally different personalities. Depending on the model (S or Delux), the Stratoliner’s headlight either appears to be attached to the front of something you would find on an F1 racer, or it is trimmed in chrome and rounded in the front. The Cross Roads’, however, looks like driving at night would result in a trip to the hospital after being blinded by the reflection off the front fender. |

Victory: Cross Country, Cross Roads, Vision 8-ball, Hammer 8-ballTyler Hopper
AllAboutBikes.com Staff Writer 
Victory has unveiled some welcome additions to their 2010 lineup, including the Cross Roads and the Cross Country as well as the Vision 8-ball and the Hammer 8-ball. The addition of an ABS equipped bike and a face-lift for two existing bikes expands the 8-ball line into a foursome. The Cross Roads and Cross Country are derived from Victory’s CORE concept bike, a concept based on Victory’s Vision. According to designer Michael Song, “Core is pure motorcycle, we wanted to strip everything not critical and build a motorcycle that uses some of the production technologies we have incorporated into the Victory Vision.” |

2009 Victory Vision Olaf Wolff - AllAboutBikes Staff-Writer  With respect to Duval’s character in Apocalypse Now, napalm doesn’t smell like Victory – the ’09 Vision does. The Vision is that touring motorcycle that looks like George Jetson would zoom to work on and then neatly fold into a briefcase.
The Vision is freakishly off any design scale used to date for measuring touring motorcycle parameters, or even stealth-fighter-bikes for that matter. It jerks heads down whatever street it rolls and they’re being snatched up by the bushel. |
