The Victory Kingpin Tour holds a big advantage over nearly other big bike in the cruising genre, in that it is a turnkey custom that is ready to ride off the showroom floor. The classically styled flared fenders are sweet looking, with metallic trim accent. At the 2007 model launch in California got to ride the Kingpin again and it still handles better than any other Victory included the Hammer S. The chassis have been good for years so it is mainly the choice of more conventional tyre sizes that contributes positively in the handling department.
Power comes from Victorys Freedom 110/6 V-Twin with overhead cams and four-valves per cylinder, plus EFI electronic fuel injection, and is routed to the rear wheel through a 6-speed transmission with true 6-speed overdrive and standard heel rocker shift lever. Exhaust exits through staggered right-side, slash cut dual pipes. The primary drive consists of a torque compensated gear, while the final drive is a carbon fiber reinforced belt. Which is a shame, because the excellent tractions afforded by the similarly up sized 180 series rear tempt you to taste the Kingpin excellent 4-piston front disc and drive deep into corners. Very few cruisers, even so called sport-cruisers, will embarass the Kingpin on a curvy road. More specs and user manual of Victory Kingpin you can see in next overview.
