2009 Victory Kingpin Low Motorcycle

MGW, I just got a Motorcyclist magazine in the mail (I don't know why!) and they did a write up on the 8ball and crossbones. The stock 8ball's 100 incher puts down 76 hp and 93 tq compared to the crossbones 96B with 70 hp and 84 tq. These numbers are at the rear wheel. My NT has V&H BSS, AN BS S2 and the TMax w/Autotune. That explains why I could walk on them, and the 6 speed close reatio trans don't hurt! I would venture to say that I must be making a bit more than the stock Victory 100 inchers.
Since your quoting mag specs your nighttrain runs a 13.54 1/4 while that kingpin is doing a 12.68 which is quick even for a 110 inch S.E. bike. I wouldnt put to much faith in a magazine review. You line up next to some one at a light and it comes down to the skill of the rider during the launch and it normally doent last through more then a few gears anyway (on the street).
I thought I would add this video, dont take it to personal just read what I said above, or think hole shot.

[QUOTE=ngoti8tor;4152327]+1 You guys just don't get it do you? This is a Harley Site. We ride and love Harleys. We don't buy them because they "go fast" or put out good numbers. We buy them because they have Personality and Soul. If that sounds lame to you.....We really don't give a Flip. I would feel very confidant in saying that my 05 H.D. will still be wearing down tires long long after your "DickDirty" (sounds like) is being made into soda cans over in Taiwan or some other place. So as they say across the pond...**** Off!!

This thread makes me chuckle! Once you change anything from stock...all bets are off. Look at this Nightrain right here. Stock clutch w/spray and small cam upgrade, pipes and A/C.....10's......LOL
