2009 Victory Kingpin Tour Touring Bike reviews

Polaris hit the Jackpot with manufacturing motorcycles. After the free test ride I was hooked. The overall ride is the finest I've experienced. While the Kingpin is listed as a cruiser, it can really perform on the twistys, if you don't mind a little foot board surfing. The suspension is "taut" meaning, it responds well to sportier handling. The seat is a bit rough to my elder backside, however, there are several aftermarket seats that fix that. Thinking of a new bike? Check out Victory. Show less

Having had two previous Vics, my current '07 KP Tour has been the best of the bunch. The power and responsiveness of the 100ci Freedom engine is super. The handling is superb and I can't say enough about that sixth gear. I like longer distance rides, and having that last hole to put 'er in at 70 just rocks. My only complaint is that the stock KP seat is not as spacious as it could be. My next upgrade will be to a more comfortable saddle. It's just a bit too narrow for my liking. On short rides it's just fine, but after six or eight hours, it gets a bit uncomfortable. The suspension is wonderful, however, so most road "chatter" and bumps are just swallowed up by the shocks. What I really enjoy is how firm it is on the twisty roads I like to ride...no hesitation or squishiness when taking the corners at speed...very nice. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my bike...and it looks great, too. I get lots of compliments on the style, chrome and overall great design of the Kingpin. Show less

I love my Kingpin Tour. It is a great bike to ride long distances on. Show less

Love this bike! Fast, stable, reliable with a nice deep sound. Handles very well on the highway, added highway pegs. The Tour comes ready to hit the highway. Averages 39mpg with lots of torque and power from the Freedom 100. Coming from sport bikes, this is my favorite of them all. Whenever I take it anywhere, it draws a crowd. Show less

I have my Kingpin and my wife has a Vegas Low and we love them both. Great Ride, Great Power and Great Proformance! Show less

We bought this Kingpin for me and my wife to ride some distances together. We have been on a few short trips and feel pretty comfortable with this bike now. In the few short miles I've noticed the brakes to be a little soft and the first gear is so tall it's hard to idle in slow trafic but workable. I will be making the investment for new pipes and the stage one package. don't like the overpowered lawn mower sound and at my altitude in Colorado it needs to breathe better. Still very happy with this machine so far. Show less
