1966 BSA VICTOR SPECIAL Authentic Vintage 4pg. Magazine Road Test ~ MSRP 5
1966 BSA Victor Special original vintage 4pg Magazine Road Test.
DESCRIPTION:
A 441cc TWO-FIFTY.
At last a Victor is here, or a machine that has been given the same name anyway. It is especially designed for the American market and is to be known as the Victor Special. In England it is called the Victor Enduro Trials and except for displacement, bears little resemblance to the machine that has won two world titles. At least one duplicate of Jeff Smith's bike has been sold in England, and there will be more.
Over there it is to be called the Victor Grand Prix. Obviously, the designation "Grand Prix" has been hung on the end to differentiate between the "Real Thing" and "the American model. The real Victor has such things as oil in the frame (to eliminate the oil tank), very lightweight alloys in various places to keep the weight down to 255 lbs., 7-inch rear brake, a 20-inch front wheel, and a special scrambles frame made from Reynolds 531 tubing; all these things our test machine did not have. However, if the Victor Grand Prix is brought into this country it will have to sell for almost ,400, whereas the Victor Special does sell for a good deal less than that.
Although we were somewhat disappointed at first to find that we did not have a true-to-life replica of Mr. Smith's motorcycle, it is probably a wise decision on the part of BSA to produce an "everyman's" machine. The Victor Grand Prix is a full-fledged racer built for a very single purpose in life — to go full throttle in moto-cross.
