: any difference between 08,09, 10 kingpin balduke 06-05-2010, 12:40 AM Bought an 09 Triumph speedmaster 3 months ago(first bike.) Like it but feeling a bigger bike might suite my future needs. Like the Victories. Is there any differnce between 08, 09 and 2010 models of the Kingpins. Dealer has what appears to be a great deal on new 08. Any input on this or other aspects of Victories are appreciated. Took a quick ride on a Vegas and hit the pegs. Is this a recurring problem? Thanks in advance diamondrmp 06-05-2010, 02:01 AM How is hitting the pegs considered a reoccurring problem? Its only a problem if you scrape them. As long as you ride aggressively you will have the "reoccurring" problem. There isn't any difference between the model years aside from paint. ks_greg 09-09-2010, 09:47 PM On the 2009 8-ball at least, the following were upgraded / changed over the 2008: LED tail light, doubling the visibility New gas tank and fuel pump Different wheel style, 13 lbs lighter I've only owned my '09 Kpin 8-ball for 2 days, but learned that much while researching. kevinx 09-10-2010, 07:07 AM On the 2009 8-ball at least, the following were upgraded / changed over the 2008: LED tail light, doubling the visibility New gas tank and fuel pump Different wheel style, 13 lbs lighter I've only owned my '09 Kpin 8-ball for 2 days, but learned that much while researching. You got it pretty much covered. The 03-08 all had LED lights as well, but they had 1/3 of the brightness. kingpin8baller 01-12-2011, 06:41 PM Is there any good site that has videos comparing the 10-11 kingpin 8 ball. I know the engine and the blacked out look on the 11. As a new rider, will one be able to feel the difference between the 2..... bigseadaddy 01-14-2011, 06:24 PM Bought an 09 Triumph speedmaster 3 months ago(first bike.) WHAT A GREAT FIRST BIKE! cheers I was really looking hard at the new Thunderbird but had my heart set on a bagger! The Rocket was cool but it was just TOO HEAVY and jumped on a Cross Roads! You are going to hit pegs more often on any bike that has forwards vs mid controls (This is what the Speedmaster has right). As far a Vics go, they are all pretty bullet proof!
