Magazine Articles:

Rider -- March 2006, page 38 -- Ready to Ride

"Swing a leg over and settle into the Kingpin's seat, with feet firmly on the ground. It only needs a little of the handlebar-mounted fast-idle control in the coldest weather to fire right up and belt out a loping idle, with a nice tone from the exhaust -- while many big twins sound overly muted, the Kingpin creates a clear rumble with noticeable power pulses, especially under acceleration." -- Mark Tuttle Jr., Editor

Rider -- August 2006, page 44 -- Kern County by Kingpin

Editor's Note: The following article is not a regular road test. It's a tour of Kern County, CA by Victory Kingpin Deluxe motorcycle. Take a tour of the richest county in California and learn how it is to live with the Kingpin on a 200 mile, 2-week leisurely ride. See some great pictures of the Kingpin posing with old and new oil rigs.

"That engine however, is a work of art. I've put many miles on Victory's Touring Cruiser with the original 92ci/1,507cc engine, but haven't many hours on this newer 100ci/1,634cc version. And it is fun. Whack that throttle in third, and we're at 90-plus mph in a long heartbeat. The OHC 50-degree V-twin is a happy revver, and will garner respect wherever it goes; the counterbalanced engine is quite smooth, and vibration was never a problem, With intelligent abuse of the gearbox, this baby will fly." -- Clement Salvadori, Contributor
