2008 Victory Kingpin 8-Ball Cruiser reviews

I am extremely satisfied with my 2010 Kingpin 8 Ball. It handles very well and has great acceleration. Just roll the throttle and go! Show less

My first Victory V92C, I didn't think it could be improved on. I was wrong. After many years of fine service, I traded her for an 09 Kingpin left over. All I can say is this bike is great in every way! Show less

I bought an '08 a little over a year ago. I wanted the '08 because I wanted the blacked-out wheels, and there were major changes to the '09 other than cosmetic. After a few years of drooling and saving, I pulled the trigger and bought one. I have had this dream-bike for just over a year and have been incredibly happy with it. Performance-wise, it handles so well and is perfectly balanced. It has plenty of power and torque. Going 70 miles an hour feels no different than 45 or 50. One time in a touristy summer hot spot, I parked it alongside four Harley's. People looked at the bikes, but they stopped at mine. One guy took a picture; two others spent a few minutes walking around it. No disrespect to Harley's; my previous bike was an 883 Sporty. I know there is a certain "mystique" about Harley's. But in terms of value and looks, I'll choose Victory. Show less

Never rode before this bike, liked the American made tag and affordability coupled with bad a** looks. I live in Detroit area, found bike for sale in Toledo, had buddy (Harley owner) go with me to ride it back, "you're gonna like riding this bike," he says after we get it home. Turns heads no doubt, powerful, and reliable. Harley riders usually take a real long look when passing by. Highly recommend a Victory. Show less

I purchased my Vegas 8-Ball in March of '09 and I can honestly tell you, this bike is bad ass!! Sixteen hundred and thirty four cc's of pure power. This bike is not only a power house on the streets, it also has the looks most people like. Some people have even said the bike is sexy. When I found it I was actually looking at the blacked out V-Rod, but when I seen this on the showroom floor, it had all the upgrades and was ready to go, it was an easy decision! Show less

Used to ride Harleys. Now they call me Mr Victory in these parts. I have 3 Vici's now and am lovin each one like my own children. The Kingpin is the worlds best combination of style class comfort power and economy. The suspension is world class as is the durability. I enjoyed my 04 Kingpin so much I bought another in the 8-Ball clothing. When I crave attention I jump on my Cory Ness Jackpot and run the streets. Thanks Victory, life is being very good to Mr Victory of Rincon Georgia and for the first time in my life I don't even know the service managers name! Victory Kicks Ass! Show less

I am about 55 miles from turning 7K since purchasing this bike in August 08. I have been on long rides up the coast, and all around northern CA, Oregon and Washington. It is very comfortable and has a lot of power. I previously owned a 01 Sportster and an 06 Street Glide. I was amazed at how often people ask me about the Victory's. It is one thing to own a HD but even better to own something that turns heads. It also a lot of fun to go flying by the HD's. I would recommend this to anyone that likes riding and doesn't want to turn wrenches. Just turn key and ride!! Show less

I fell in love with this bike the first time I saw it. In fact I bought it and could not even ride. I just looked at in the garage for relaxation. I find it to be an excellent riding bike although I am a first time rider. It was comfortable to me and since I have rode it a lot it has become my main go to the store bike. I know it look good but I don't get many Harley admirers or acknowledgments for that matter and frankly I dont give a hoot. I pull up to Harley events just to taunt them and dismount w/all that black as if I own the place. All that Black among all that Chrome is my forte. I beat my own drum and don't ride with the pack. Have to be different and this bike is definitely different. Will have class for a long time. Show less

Love the bike... wish the crossroads would of been out when I bought mine but, I sold my Harley to buy it! Best purchase ever! Show less

I've had this bike for a couple years now - ordered it while I was in Iraq and took delivery the month I got back. The chrome highlights I added really make it stand out - just enough not to be gaudy. This bike turns so many heads it's unbelievable. Every bike night, rally, or whatever the HOG folks always stand around and ask questions. don't get suckered to buy a less performing dime a dozen machine for more money. The bike handles great - I've scraped pegs many times rolling thrugh twisties - very agile for a beefy bike. The only knock is long distance riding. Anything over 3 hours and your legs get a little restless. Add some highway bars and you can roll forever! I love this bike, but I may have to trade her in on the new Vic Cross Country! Show less
