My New Bike

Well here it is, I just bought this Victory Kingpin from SoCalVictory this past weekend at their open house with the Victory factory truck there. I took advantage of the sweet deals they were selling their 07's.$4000 to $5000 off, The bike I got had the Bassani 2 to 1 long pipe on it. Bassani put it on as this is new for tis year bike. They said it was one of the first ones off the line. The bike was also tune. This is my 2nd bike in 2.5 years from the same dealer and have been satisfied with their service both times. They also sell Triumphs and Ducs. Great people. I still am keeping the Daytona.No way I would give that up. I have one for the fun sport type rides and now one for just kicking it cruising.

The exhaust sounds great. At idle it isn't too loud so you can speak to people if they are there while it warms up. At cruising speed it is a little louder but not obnoxious, and when you get out it, you know it is coming. The perfect pipe for me.

A beauty and much nicer looking than the Universal Japanese Cruiser or Milwaukee Iron look. Congrats!

Thanks,

Brooksie, it feels solid, and handles real nice. I am still in the beak in period and haven't got on it yet, but the engine feels solid so far. I am just getting use to the forward controls and the heal toe shifting.

Veddy nice!

I used to think it was foolish to have two bikes but only one butt till I figured out that there's a reason we have two butt cheeks!

Now there's two motorcycles in my garage, too!

Enjoy!

Nice!

I'm sure that will be a great bike. I've heard good things about them....

Victory has a habit of redefining the lines they use on their cruisers so they stand out from the rest.

You picked up a nice looking bike - Bet that thing will be great on a spring night boulevard cruise.
