2012 Victory Kingpin® • $15,249 MSRP

THE EVOLUTION OF A CLASSIC AMERICAN CRUISER.
HISTORY HAS NEVER BEEN SO BOLD.

Features such as the inverted front fork, the full floorboards, and the full-length, classic-flared fenders, plus the two-tone paint scheme make this machine look like it was ripped from a 60’s cruiser magazine. Also, lots of chrome-plated elements, such as the Stingray, five-spoked wheels, the staggered, slash-cut dual exhaust system, the fork and the headlight casing add to the nostalgic feel of this two-wheeler.

At its heart lies a muscular, air-cooled, four-stroke, 1731cc, 50-degree V-twin engine mated to a sturdy, six-speed manual transmission with overdrive. This translates into a balanced power delivery throughout all the rev ranges, as well as that extra kick needed for fast highway passes.

  • Full-Length Classic Flared Fenders
  • Rigid Inverted Front Fork

Features

106 ci Freedom V-Twin

  • Whether you’re finding your way across town or cruising the city’s glass canyons, the Freedom V-Twin power plant delivers 97 horsepower and 113 ft. lbs. of green-light torque with ultimate authority. The heart of every Victory Cruiser machine, it informs the world of your arrival with every crack of the throttle.

113 ft. lbs. Torque

  • Press the starter and you can feel deep in your chest an eruption of low-end torque. With each precision-tuned piston stroke, the Freedom V-Twin’s 4-valve overhead cams and perfectly matched 6-speed overdrive transmission promise to provide unmatched throttle response, acceleration and passing power.

6-Speed Overdrive Transmission

  • The best performing transmission on the street collects the power generated by the massive V-twin and allows the Victory Kingpin to roll fluidly between the curbs. Helical-cut gears ensure that each shift will be as smooth and clean as the bike itself.

Full Floorboards

  • Stable and highly comfortable platforms make a rider’s feet feel as firmly grounded as the bike itself, and allow for more confident shifter stomping from heel to toe.

Full-Length Classic Flared Fenders

  • The signature Kingpin fenders feature long, flowing sheet metal that complements the bike’s overall styling and puts a modern spin on classic cruiser design.

Inverted Front Fork

  • Kingpin’s classic look pleases every rider walking up to it. But that feeling is turbocharged when taking the Kingpin through the twisties. The beefy inverted front fork sends more rigidity forward, providing better handling at every turn.

Optional Touring Accessories

  • Born a cruiser, Kingpin’s smooth handling and comfortable seating position makes it an ideal candidate for the longer haul. Suit it up with touring accessories – trunk and saddlebags to start with – then take off and travel well beyond the comfort zone of other cruisers.
