2005 Polaris Victory Kingpin review from United States of America
"Absolutely great!"
General comments?
I bought this bike as a deal too good to pass up. My wife and I were looking for a nice two up cruiser that wouldn't break the bank. So, like almost everyone else, I was looking at used Harley cruisers.
We came across the Kingpin as it was being unloaded off the truck, and we fell in love. It was a new, never titled, 2005 that was found in a warehouse in New Jersey. We couldn't let it go by. I'm so glad we didn't. It is the best bang for the buck I've ever gotten. This bike just eats up the miles. I've taken it on several long trips, and don't get saddle sore for hours. My wife fits comfortably behind me, and doesn't change acceleration and handling much.
I hope and pray Victory will be around for a good long time, because I have a new favorite manufacturer.
