2009 Victory Kingpin Low (Lowered)

by Kate Roark
(Las Vegas, NV)

I started riding 2 years ago, My first bike was a Yamaha V-star 650 Classic Cruiser. Great Starter bike but couldn't keep up with the Vics in altitude. I graduated to the Victory Kingpin Low and had it lowered 1.25 inches lower to accommodate my 4'10" height. The Kingpin is a lot smoother than the V-star, better balanced and and a lot more powerful with the 1637 cc V-twin engine. I took a 3100 mile trip from Vegas to Montana, on to Sturgis and home via the front range of the Colorado Rockies. I really recommend this bike for women of shorter stature. Safe riding. No matter what you ride... remember to keep your favorite bike "Shiny Side Up"!
