I was Honda big-bike fan for my last 6 motorcycles… sport touring mostly. I’ve always been a very agressive rider. Bought an ’07 Victory Kingpin and I can’t stop riding it. I’m addicted. It’s bullet proof.

With a little tweaking, it goes fast enough to leave the less agressive sport riders behind. Handles superbly in the twisties and sounds pure race at high revs. With a little customizing, it attracts a lot of attention, including the Harley crowd.

I’m about to buy a second bike and guess what brand I’ll be buying.

Victory motorcycles do exactly what Victory intends them to do, and they do it very well ! They are great bikes…. Smooth, powerful, well balanced , don’t feel heavy at all, have great styling, and are rock solid. I love my 07 Hammer. Performance wise it is great. I drag raced it with 300 miles on it… bone stock. I drove off the line then gave it all it had. Ran 12.99 at 100 mph. Not bad ! Quicker with practice. Now it has 20 more hp with the S&S intake kit and factory slip on mufflers ( 96.5 HP 100 TQ ) so id think 12.40s are within reach. All that and it can get over 60 mpg ! Looks like a show bike right off the floor too.

I have a ’06 Vegas… I LOVE IT! If you think the 100 CI “Freedom” motor doesn’t have any power or that these bikes are slow, you’re WRONG! I installed a PMRT intake, a Llodz’ fuel controller and I ripped the ugly mufflers off then replaced them with some homemade tips. IT RIPS! I took it to the dragstrip and ran 12.20, 12.18 and a 12.15! How’s that for a “slow” American V-twin? I can tell you that these bikes are built right, they’re tough, sexy and clean. I BEAT my bike HARD. I slam gears, pull wheelies, rev the engine to redline at every chance I get and ride through the curves like it’s a sport bike… (The pegs are mounted low and they do scrape the ground.)
My bike gets all the attention wherever I am. The fact that it’s bright redish-orange in color probably helps catch peoples eye. I think it’s so clean and simple. I helps that I removed all the goofy “goverment” stickers, reflectors, fugly mufflers and the “cheese wedges”. To me and most people who look at it, it’s SEX ON WHEELS!!!

BTW, the “low” Vegas and Kingpin sit lower, have a narrower seat/side covers and the foot/hand controls are pulled back about two inches.

Some of you people need to realize Victory or any company for that matter can’t build every sort of bike for everybody. They are building bikes in the largest growing section of motorcycles, the “cruiser market”. There is a great book out there you can buy that will give you a very good idea of how and why Victory is here. It’s called “The road to Victory”. Here’s a little fact for ya… Victory did six years of R&D brfore they built their first bike. They wanted to do it right…
VICTORY That says it all!
