: Differences between Victory's? jdlangdon 03-14-2010, 03:57 PM Can someone tell me the differences (other then engine sizes) between the various different models of Victory bikes? For example, the only thing that looks different between the Vegas and the Kingpin 8-ball's is the front and rear fenders. Do these bikes ride the same? jd RedRider 03-14-2010, 05:43 PM "Do these bikes ride the same? Take some demo rides. They are free and the dealer pays for the gas. kevinx 03-14-2010, 05:45 PM Kingpin.... 18" Front tire, inverted cartridge front forks, big beautiful fenders, Driver floorboards, Vegas... 21" Front tire, conventional forks, Driver forward control pegs, Jackpot.... Vegas with 250 rear tire Hammer...... Kingpin with 250 rear tire, dual disk front brakes, sport bike styled fenders All are very competent. A test ride is the only way to make your own choice jdlangdon 03-14-2010, 08:45 PM Kingpin.... All are very competent. A test ride is the only way to make your own choice I agree. The good news is that the only dealer around says to drop in at any time for a test ride. The bad news is he's 400KM/250miles away. :( Bungln 03-15-2010, 03:12 PM Kingpin.... 18" Front tire, inverted cartridge front forks, big beautiful fenders, Driver floorboards, Vegas... 21" Front tire, conventional forks, Driver forward control pegs, Jackpot....

Silver/chrome. "Old school". I get a lot of looks from admirers. They like the bike too.

The skinny 21" front tire bikes are very quick turners while the 18" of the Kingpin give it a smoother ride. The wide rear tire bikes require a little more turning effort but look so cool! Each is a different animal. Like has been said, you need to test ride them. diamondrmp 04-04-2010, 05:24 PM The 8ball bikes are 5 speed all others a 6 speed.

I have an 06 KP with the tour package and love it. My wife gave it to be three years ago as a suprise on my 40th birthday. | ||
