Victory Ness Signature Kingpin reviews

For the money it is a great Cruiser that can be used for a Touring bike. My 2010 is actually a Kingpin Touring model so it has the feel, handling, balance and power of a Cruiser but is geared for effortless touring in 6th gear and has a very good suspension. It has so much power you almost don't use the the 5th gear, so the 6th is purely for idling down the interstate and to save some gas money on longer trips. Slightly heavier that my other Victory cruisers but you really don't notice the weight unless you are pushing it out of a slant with your legs. Show less

This is one of the nicest bikes I've ever ridden. Smooth and powerful. Easy steering and even balance. Show less

Since the first time i saw a Kingpin i thought it was the best looking bike i had ever seen. I have a 2001 v92c and a 2016 Vegas 8 ball and my beautiful 2006 supersonic blue Kingpin. I've had many bikes since my first at the age of 13. I'm now 58 and i still feel like a kid. I hope i never grow up. Show less

It's been kept in the basement for the last three years and not an oil leak. How many Harley boys can say that! As far as power, I'll leave any Harley in my exhaust fumes! Yea, come get you some!!!!! Show less

I have been riding for over 40 years. My Shadow finally gave up the ghost in the Smokeys. I rode a demo Kingpin - 20 minutes later I owned it. It has power when you need it, comfort, great handling and smooth ride (even at 90 mph. with a ticket). It has enough to carry 2 up and gear, enough amps for 2 up, heated clothes (all pieces and turned on, momma wants to ride at 40 - that never happened before). I cannot say enough. When I retire I am going to go sell Victorys. It's just a great ride and if you test one, you will buy it. I love my bike. It has brought back a joy that I didn't know I had missed or lost. Ride Safe. Show less

I have had my bike for almost two weeks now. I have serial #31 of ??? (rumor has it about 200). I am really enjoying the bike. My first mod was putting on an OEM lock and ride windshield. It made a big difference knocking off the wind blast. I have on order a passenger seat and rear peg kit (keep's the wife happy). One of the nice things is that I will not see another one on every corner. So far, great bike, no problems at all. Show less

I really don't even have the bike quite broken in yet but already I'm blown away. The bike rides like a Cadillac, it simply glides down the road, absorbing bumps and holes while you barely notice them. When you roll on the throttle...you better be holding on, these bikes of gobs of torque and power. Pictures I've seen of the bike were good but don't do it justice. Seeing the bike in person you'll notice all the fine details that photos don't show you. It has top shelf quality, comfort and performance. Obviously 400 miles isn't enough to chime in on reliability but go to victoryforums.com and explore the site. You'll find that these motors and transmissions are bullet proof. All you have to do is change the oil and ride. Show less

Let me first say, the old saying "There are two types of cyclist...those who ride Harleys and those who wished they rode a Harley" has been proven false!!! I had an '09 Superglide for three years and finally decided I wanted quality over image. Harley does make good looking bikes, no argument there, but modern reliability and design should merit favor. The Kingpin is by far a more comfortable ride, superior as well in handling and acceleration. Better gas mileage is an additional plus, especially considering the engine is somewhat larger. Yes, it is nice owning a bike not as common as a dandelion...one on every street corner. Another great feature is being able to toggle thru displays without taking hands off the handlebars(more convenient than the old Hog). At highway speeds the bike just glides and talk about a bike that handles the curves really well!Slow speed manuevering is excellent as well. The brakes very solid and firm. Fingers crossed, hopefully this bike will not be a dissapointment many miles from now. Vic's have an outstanding reputaion so we'll see. Show less

The bike was incredible from the moment I saw it. I tried to convince myself to buy the base model - but the Ness spoke to me. I came home with it and my wife was not mad, just told me my dinner would be cold, we were going riding. 1300 miles in 2 weeks and I enjoy it more each day. Show less

I've been riding for over 30 yrs. I've always had Jap Screamers, and still have a ZX14. I saw my '07 Jackpot at the dealership in Foxboro. It was used, 1500 miles, I was hooked. It has '06 Black with Purple to Blue Flames (my personal preference as it is a little more understated. I had looked at it and mentioned it to my wife. She went by the dealer when I was at work and called to ask me why I hadn't put a deposit on it......that was it. The bike performs great, especially with a couple of Lloyds Performance add ons that really woke it up - 96RWHP, 104 FtLBs Torque on Chassis Dyno with Pipes, Air Cleaner Kit and EFI Tuner, tuned by Lloyd. Everywhere we go the compliments are overwhelming, from Harley owners to the guy carrying his little kid. I love the bike, Victory and the dealer in Foxboro, MA!!!! Show less
