Victory Kingpin Tour reviews

I've been riding Victory since 2005. My Kingpin never gave me a problem. I picked up a 2012 Cross Cuntry Tour pearl white. I just changed oil after break-in. I have rode in 28 degree mornings this spring. This bike is comfortable, smooth, responsive, handles flawlessly, sound system rocks and the IPod hook up is great. Cargo capacity is great. Passing at freeway speeds is just a slight twist of wrist in 6th and you're gone. Show less

I was initially interested in trading my 2007 Kingpin tour some other brand bike. I test drove a Triumph touring model. However, after researching the Cross Country, and test driving, I was sold. I commute in and out of Washington, DC. The ride is very comfortable and stable. I loved the Kingpin Tour, but the balance and comfort changes in the Cross Country is amazing. Besides the bike, the dealer really provided great support, service and information - a class bike and dealer!! Show less

I've been tracking Victory Bikes on-line and thru test rides for five years. I finally pulled the trigger in February, 2012 on a new Kingpin. Great muscle, smooth ride, it really turns heads. It's the best fit for me and the wife for combined mountain roads and highway touring. The dealership treats us like royalty. Show less

It's the very best, reliable motorbike I have ever ridden. I have 15 years experience, and now 12 months touring on a new Vision. I've been to the USA, Canada, and all 32 countries of Europe, north to south, east to west. I've not had a single problem riding 67,000 km. in 12 months. I've added another 23,000 km. since then over here on our rubbish New Zealand roads, no problems. You cannot beat a Victory Vision. Show less

I traded my BMW K1200 LT for my Vision. No regrets! Nothing wrong with the BMW but it was just to tall for me to be comfortable. I rode this bike for just 20 minutes on a demo ride and couldn't get my check book out quick enough - still having trouble getting the smile off my mug. In town I go at 2,100 rpm. and at 75 mph. at 2,100 rpm. with goosebump pulling power. I haven't had this much fun since I was a kid. Looks and finish are perfect. Mechanical is perfect. Service from dealer was exceptional. Show less

I found my 08 Kingpin Tour at a Wisconsin dealership. I shopped online and saw deals in distant states, but finally landed one close to home. The new bike with warranty is for under 10K!! The bonus was the $1,000 in accessories for having test drove the factory bikes. I love the Kingpin's styling, balance and power. My first test drive, I was moving up the gears, just listening and then I looked at the speedo - 100mph!! - Whoops. I also appreciate employing my neighbors in Osceola, WI with the engine build, folks in Minnesota for the design and in Spirit Lake, Iowa for the final assembly. Take a factory test drive and you'll also know you need one! Show less

For my 50th birthday, I was going to buy the "dream bike". I had a Harley Electraglide picked out and test rode. I saw a Gunny Victory ad and decided to go test one locally. After seeing and riding this bike. I can't imagine buying another Harley, and being a cookie cutter pirate. No comparison. I have rode for over 35 years, Harleys, Hondas, Kaws and Yammers. I never rode a bike as comfortable and loaded as this one. Looks take a little getting used to, but everywhere I go, people stop me and ask questions or take pictures, it's fun. There is nothing about this bike I don't love. It's very cold here right now. With the heated seats and grips, I went on a 100-mile trip yesterday, and a 150-mile trip last weekend, and loved every minute of riding it. This is a pic of my kid and bike taken yesterday. Do yourself a favor, before buying the hog, just ride one. I rode the Cross Country Tour and the Vision and the biggest decision I had was deciding which one as both are amazing bikes. Show less

I was an owner of a 2008 Victory Vision Tour Premium. With the help of the staff at the dealership I went to, I had chromed out about everything you could on a Vision. My bike met a 200 lb. deer five days after purchase, the deer died. The shop named the bike Deer Crusher and with the help of the dealership staff I had chromed out about everything you could on a Vision. We would end up traveling over 30,000 miles together, Canada, Rhode Island, Long Beach Island, Daytona and Sturgiss to name some of our trips. I was home from Sturgiss about a week and Hurricane Irene hit my home, five feet of water entered my garage drowning my beloved Deer Crusher and my 2007 Triumph America. I now have a 2011 Victory Vision Tour. It only has 3,000 miles so far but I know I did the right thing replacing my Vision. You will not find a more comfortable bike for solo or two up touring. I have only owned black bikes but I could not just replace DC. This new bike is a departure for me. It is two tone with stripes. I think she is sexy and others have comfirmed my opinion. I have to thank the folks at the dealership. They stand behind the bikes they sell with a top notch crew both in sales and service. I'm looking forward to many trips on my new bike, seeing some of the places I have been before and others I have yet to see. Show less

The Victory Vision has it all! It has styling, performance and all-day riding comfort! Show less

I have owned over 20 bikes in my 13 years of riding and log in about 25k miles a year. I have had mostly sport bikes and last year bought a Harley Road King. I test drove a Vision in Foxboro, MA last Saturday and went in and traded my 2011 Road King right away. The bike was delivered today. I can't wait. It looks like a spaceship, but I love it. Show less
