RE: ugly ugly bike
I agree with the gang here, those with the problems speak the loudest, and those problems are exagerated sometimes. Only problems I have ever had with my bike are self-inflicted, 30+K miles now running better than ever.
Now don't get me wrong, that Vision is fugly! but, pick up this months American Iron and see what Cory Ness did to one. I dare say it looks pretty "cool" for being what it is........

Think what it will cost with that one piece rear-end? No rails just a bunch of plastic. I only good thing I can say is at least its made in the USA (Ithink).Is this the vision into uglyness?

Forums are a great place for information and this one is great. But don't let information here on problems make your decision for you. Take it all into account and then decide.

I am having second thoughts after hearing all the problems with the new touring bikes, so before committing to that kind of purchase I thought I would at least look around a little.

for every one person that has a problem with their HD touring bike I will show you 500 that don't have problems at all. Sometime I think people are hypochondriacs *sp* when it comes to their bikes.

And the new Victory Vision's aesthetics may not be for everyone, but in performance, handling and tech, it womps pretty much everything Harley has. The only reason I didn't buy one was because it's a first-year product. No, thank you. Been there, done that. The bike is pretty amazing, but the looks turn a LOT of people off.
