2005 Victory Kingpin Arlen Ness Signature Series 2417 Miles Stage 1 Kit

I am pleased to offer this gorgeous 2005 Victory Kingpin Arlen Ness Edition motorcycle with only 2417 +/- miles driven since new. Bike is being offered by the original owner. He added a Stage 1 kit** for better performance. Bike is in “as new” condition. Please review the pictures below and see for yourself. VIN # is 5VPDC16D553008045.
When Arlen and Cory Ness were brought on as consultants to revamp the Victory Kingpin, we all knew that the end result was going to be special. The Nesses took the Kingpin and improved it by adding a festival of chrome and billet.
They added billet wheels, billet engine cover inserts and billet-style mirrors. This Ness Edition Kingpin also has a chrome swingarm, chrome foot controls, chrome passenger peg supports, chrome axle brackets, chrome triple clamps and chrome switch housings. If the Nesses could make it shine, they did. There’s even a radical “Purple Haze” color scheme that would make Jimi Hendrix proud. In addition, there is a radius drag bar with braided stainless cables and a custom-stitched ostrich-pattern seat. It’s finished with a Ness logo EFI cover and Ness signature side cover. Definitely, not your neighbors Springer…
To add an even more exclusive feel, these Ness Edition Kingpins were produced in a limited edition of only 250 (like a fine piece of art). The VIN # on this beauty is:

The bike is very quick off the line, with top-end speeds that I believe are unmatched by any other bike in the class. The Kingpin is definitely built for speed, given the way the suspension reacts on a hard acceleration. The torque from the hard throttle actually sits the rider farther down in the seat as the suspension expands the wheelbase, giving the rider the feeling of additional comfort and security in the seat, rather than that of having to hold on for fear of falling off the back. It’s a unique ride and very comfortable. It seriously feels nimble like a sport bike due to its perfect balance.
I have ridden this bike with an adult passenger and it performed and responded very well. The passenger indicated that it was a comfortable ride. The passenger enjoys additional comfort by resting their feet on floorboards rather than pegs.
