If you're into a "different looking" touring bike that comes standard with a 106 ci v-twin, 6 speed tranny, 6 gal tank, heated seats, heated grips, adjustable electric windshield, built in mp3 connection, cruise control, good storage capacity, great handling, great laid back riding position, and American made...the the Vision premium is worth a look...I own an Ultra which I love, a Softail deluxe which I would never give up and until last week a BMW Cl which I traded in for the Vision. The critics said the BMW was an ugly bike but the funny thing is that it is one that always got the looks and got converstion going. I traded it in mainly because it was never really a comfortable bike for me and after test riding the Vision there was no comparison. Comparing the Vision to the Harley is like comparing apples and oranges, they are very different bikes....that's what make it so much fun! As far as the "soul" of a bike bullsh-t is concerned, to me the soul comes from the rider on the bike...if you're an a-hole, no brank of bike can change the fact that you're still an a-hole...just my opinion..

I'll give Victory credit on their great engines, but if the Ness's didn't come along, the old 92c's would have been their flagship.

I thought it was interesting but to me it looked like the offspring of a Harley cousin humped by a Goldwing.

It was definitely different, not precisely my idea of a touring motorcycle but to each their own. Not slamming the bike, who knows, it may grow on me.

(wife bought a Honda Element AWD, not pretty at first but it grows on you...)

I like the Vision. I dont want one but I do like it. Nothing wrong with the whole Victory line.
Just sayin.

Saw 1 going down the road the other day. Looked like a over grown scooter from the future. May ride great but I'll never know. Ignorance is bliss and I'm not blind. It's Fugly.

Guy I know that works at Polaris said if they can't sell the Victory subsidiary they will close doors within the next few years. Guess they can't keep up with H-D ...
