VICTORY MAGNUM BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR YOU? WORDS/PHOTOS THE BEAR

“Magnum” is a really blokey sort of word, isn’t it? That was established without any question after Clint Eastwood told the perp in “Dirty Harry” that his, Eastwood’s, Model 29 Smith & Wesson revolver was the most powerful in the world. He was wrong about that; it wasn’t until S&W developed the .500 S&W Magnum that they could honestly make that claim. But so what? The word magnum, also applied to a roller coaster, cartoon characters, bottles of booze and ice creams, was out there and moving product.

So, to cut a very much longer story short, I think Magnum is a good choice of name for a motorcycle.
