Victory Motorcycles: Kingpin vs. Fat Boy

Bold American custom style with performance that backs it up. In 2011, the Victory Kingpin adds more force to its flair. The classic cruiser not only powered up with the 106-cubic-inch Freedom V-Twin, it also added a 100K-mile transmission. We put the Kingpin up against the Harley Davidson Fat Boy. Watch the results.

Victory, not only being a more reliable, more performance oriented bike, is more American than Harley ever thought about being. FACT. Honda purchases $12 billion from American suppliers of parts and materials annually and has invested $6 billion in Ohio alone. Harley is nowhere close to helping Americans as a ricer. Vic is a solid bike, with better performance, better reliablity, at a better price...with far less posers. People who buy vic simply want a good bike. End of discussion.

Good Evening,

I have been a diehard Harley Davidson supporter because of the Harley Davidson mantra Made in USA Pride!! Now, I have seen all accessories and parts made in china or Japan. What happen to made in America!! That is why I shifted to Polaris The only company can truly say MADE IN AMERICA 100%!!

Not assembled in America like Harley Davidson (Hardly made in America).

I am both a Harley-Davidson & Victory Rider. I love both of my bikes! The '03 Ultra Classic is a strong runner. I've ridden 1500 miles in 23 hrs 38 min, as per Iron Butt Association verification. But I love my Victory Highball. I have never been so captivated by a bike, as I have been by the Highball. It is a real screamer. Go to RTStrongDog videos for a comparison of the exhaust and more. I moved mountains to get the Highball, and I'm damn glad I did!

I dont see harley bashing victory to increase sales. What does that tell you

[poserproductions1]

I love how everyone thinks harleys are fast and just great bikes, and then polaris comes and kicks their asses and made videos about it. that is just badass without question.

Keep in mind this is just one comparison. The HD Wideglide is still considered to be the one of the best handling cruisers out there. Just for a change up though, I am looking at a Kingpin next.

Both Harley and Victory are great bikes, both offer great options, Harley has a stronger customer service presents but Victory is getting there. Comes down to this...

Get a Harley Davidson to support the sell out Brand name that is pressed out in China!!

Get a Victory to Support the hard working Americans who build them right here in America, Iowa built we can do anything lol

Yeah ok, but no one will ever wait on a list for up to 2 yrs. for one. And that's what your really up against, isn't it. C'mon, your dying with Harley envy, it's a common disease.

@joddy2802 Unless you start talking about engineering and performance then I agree
