Victory Kingpin. November 2008
The Kingpin and its long distance cousin the Kingpin Tour have a stretched out fame for long stints in the saddle. The smooth flowing lines, low saddle and stretched out riding position add balance and stability, while large floorboards isolate vibration for increased comfort on long rides.
The Victory Kingpin 8-Ball has bold, modern styling with blacked out bodywork, engine, wheels and bars, to present quite a distinctive bike. Similar to the the blacked out Vegas 8-Ball, these two bikes have a primal appeal. The only non black components are the dual chrome exhaust, gauges and chrome head light.
