The Victory electric TT podium finishing race bike has been found having been stolen from the firm’s headquarters at the weekend.
The bike that Irishman Lee Johnston rode to the podium in the Isle of Man TT Zero race event in June has been returned to Brammo Headquarters in Talent, Oregon after police tracked the machine down to a local individual.
The Victory prototype electric motorcycle was recovered with damaged bodywork and the rear wheel removed, but largely complete.

The main suspect, who has a long history of run-ins with the police said that he intended to disassemble the bike and sell the parts, though nobody has admitted actually breaking into the Brammo headquarters where the race bike was on display.
No current or former Brammo Inc. employees have been implicated in this case.
Brian Wismann, Director of Product Development, Brammo Inc said: “Everyone at Brammo are relieved to have bike #3 back in the stable and are extremely grateful to the City of Talent Police Department for working diligently to solve this case. We’ll need some time to fully assess any damage done, but from initial inspection it appears mostly cosmetic and repairable. What a bizarre event this has been.”
