Victory Kingpin reviews

This bike is a monster of a ride...in a good way. The handling is outrageous, the pipes breathe life into the ride and the engine has the power to make you fly. I can't say enough good things about this bike. I'm waiting for it to come out in white with black trim. I'm going through my Clockwork Orange "white" phase. Show less

I've owned Harleys for many years, this is the first Victory. I love the bike and the performance. I still have two Harleys but haven't ridden them since I purchased the Kingpin Premier. What's nice is that I can't find anything to add to it. It's a great value and a kick to ride. Show less

Having had two previous Vics, my current '07 KP Tour has been the best of the bunch. The power and responsiveness of the 100ci Freedom engine is super. The handling is superb and I can't say enough about that sixth gear. I like longer distance rides, and having that last hole to put 'er in at 70 just rocks. My only complaint is that the stock KP seat is not as spacious as it could be. My next upgrade will be to a more comfortable saddle. It's just a bit too narrow for my liking. On short rides it's just fine, but after six or eight hours, it gets a bit uncomfortable. The suspension is wonderful, however, so most road "chatter" and bumps are just swallowed up by the shocks. What I really enjoy is how firm it is on the twisty roads I like to ride...no hesitation or squishiness when taking the corners at speed...very nice. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my bike...and it looks great, too. I get lots of compliments on the style, chrome and overall great design of the Kingpin. Show less

I recently bought the 2010 two-tone Kingpin and I am very happy with the bike. It has great power, handling and boy do I get looks from other riders. When I started looking at bikes, my neighbor, a well-known engine builder, suggested I look at Victory motorcycles. I'm glad he suggested it because after a lot of research I was sold on the Victory brand. I am looking forward to many years of riding enjoyment. Show less

I purchased a used 2006 Kingpin in 2009. The bike came stock. I have added an S&S intake and RPW True Duals exhaust. The bike is an excellent rider. The power, comfort and it's easy to handle for a full-size bike. It's reliable and has the looks of a custom bike. What more can you want in a motorcycle! I would recommend to anyone looking for a motorcycle to test drive a Victory, especially a new Kingpin. Show less

I love my Kingpin Tour. It is a great bike to ride long distances on. Show less

I came to my 08 Kingpin from an 04 Vegas. Loved the Vegas, great looks and performance. However, I needed something that was a little more rider friendly. Enter the Kingpin. My buddy bought a Kingpin, and we went on several 2 hour jaunts. My back was killing me! He, on the other hand, was ready to keep on keepin' on! So, I hopped on his ride, rode for about 20 miles, and knew right then and there, I had to have one! So, the next monday, we went to the dealership and I told my salesperson that I had to do something to get into a KP. Well, long story short, they did, so I did! Been ecstatic ever since! The ride is superb. Power is enthusiastic! Handling is better than I expected. Fit and finish is excellent. I love the 6 speed transmission! Fuel economy is consistently 45MPG or better. Before I came to Victory, I was a true blue hardcore Harley rider. While HD builds a wonderful bike, I'm sold on the Vics! If you are comparing the Victory Kingpin to other makes, read the reviews! You will see that everyone that buys one, is very happy with their decision! I know I am! Show less

Love my 2009 Kingpin. Managed to put 12000 miles on it in less than a year. In the state of OK, that's hard to do due to extreme heat, high winds and tornadoes. Wouldn't buy anything else. Always turns heads. Show less

I BOUGHT THIS NEW LEFTOVER 08 KINGPIN LAST NOV OF 09. MIDNIGHT CHERRY. GOT A SCREAMIN DEAL. FINALLY HAD IT IN FOR IT'S 500 MILE SERVICE COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. HARD TO RIDE MUCH THROUGH THE WINTER. THE OIL SENSOR HAD A SMALL LEAK BUT THE DEALERSHIP TOOK CARE OF IT UNDER WARRANTY. OTHERWISE, NO PROBLEMS. TONS OF POWER, LOOKS GREAT, GOOD QUALITY. THE SEAT IS JUST SO SO. I DID A LOT OF HOMEWORK ON THIS BIKE. SPENT THE BETTER PART OF 2 YEARS RESEARCHING THE VICTORY'S AND HARLEY'S. CAME CLOSE TO A HARLEY SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT WAS THE GREAT DEAL I GOT PLUS THE 5 YR WARRANTY THAT FINALLY DID IT. SO FAR I've BEEN REAL HAPPY. WILL UPDATE AGAIN LATER THIS SUMMER, AFTER STURGIS.

Never rode before this bike, liked the American made tag and affordability coupled with bad a** looks. I live in Detroit area, found bike for sale in Toledo, had buddy (Harley owner) go with me to ride it back, "you're gonna like riding this bike," he says after we get it home. Turns heads no doubt, powerful, and reliable. Harley riders usually take a real long look when passing by. Highly recommend a Victory. Show less
