Did you notice any difference in the cornering clearance between the Kingpin and the Speedmaster, besides the boards dragging? Often with cruisers, a lower center of gravity means lower ground clearance, and I'd hate to give that up.

With an MSRP of $15,999 for the Kingpin, I would hope it would outperform the $8500 Speedmaster. What's nice about the Kingpin is Victory didn't put that humongous back tire on it like a lot of their other bikes.
