Don't like the pics I've seen, who knows what I'll think when I see one up close.

Other than my classic Triumphs, I haven't had a bike in 20 years that I could see the front tire when riding, including the Ultra.

Okay, don't flame me too bad but I like it. It has kind of a cross between modern and art deco styling. I don't care for the trunk much but the rest of it is pretty cool. Because the style is so modern I would bet most Harley owners won't like it. Of course all that being said, I still bought a SG.

Sorry Victory - that thing is an absolute hideocrity.
I'm just not a fan of any of their bikes, but that one is the worst.

Let's face it. The appearance of the Victory Vision is rediculous. Period. Maybe Polaris thinks the Victory Vision is "Change we can believe in" like other ultra-liberal ideas.

Us conservative babyboomers are not the target consumers of Victory.

I find myself having to post on this topic even though I mostly read only when here. Last summer while on a road trip with the wife, two-up my Victory Hammer. I/she realized it just is not a bike for two-up riding. Because I do like the hammer in all aspects of solo riding and it does turn more heads than any bike I have ridden with as well as 1st and second gear gettin' it sideways burnouts, I felt I had to give the Vision a looksee. Sorry that bike is fugly as all h@!! I had always thought the HD were over priced in comparison to other bikes that were meant to compete. After looking at all option I own a 09 Streeet Glide. The price was actually right for the bike. A, if you will, "standard looking motorcycle," not jetson-mobile like, ie Vision or triing to copy a HD ie Kawi and Yami. Lots of storage, a radio, hauling my big a$$ adaquatly, and lots of aftermarket parts to make it my own. I find now that the touring line-up is a great deal for what you get.
