RE: Saw a Victory Vision the other day...
I agree completely. Victory has some nice bikes, and some really good looking ones too. That Vision may be the greatest riding bike ever built, but, it's so damn fugly, I wouldn't have it if ya gave it to me free. If I want to get sick and barf, I'll go visit my ex Jesus Palomino that thing is ugly! Noname

I can't get past the blender looking engine and "Hot Wheels" inspired primary. To each their own though?

I would rather own a Yamaha Roadstar before any of the fugly, cheap pieces of Victory crap.

I think George Jetson lost his bike. I sat on one at a local customs dealer. It reminded me of sitting in my parents Ford areostar van when I was a kid. The dash on thething had to be 4 feet long.

RE: Saw a Victory Vision the other day...
My boss bought one of the first Visions to hit New England. He is a Victory fan and also owns a Vegas and one of the older touring Vics with a sidecar. Since he got his first Victory I always considered them to be high quality bikes and came very close to buying a Vegas last May.
I have spent a fair amount of time checking the Vision out. I really like the 106 cu. in. engine and low seating position. I don't like all of the shiny model airplane type plastic that surrounds the frame. The plastic saddle bags, fairing, etc. appear to be cheaply constructed and destined to crack.

I've seen three (3) Visions within the last week in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. They are hard to miss. Not my cup-0-tea but somebody's gotta love 'em.
Not sure about Arlen, he made a good Big Sucky for my ride, butIcan't identify with hisdesign 'flair'.

Vespa on steroids, I like it, but then I like anything with 2 wheels.
I'd really like to ride one out across Hwy 50 in Nevada, bet it cruises nicely at 90-95...
clippin along with the stereo blastin..........
