Default Vision

I can't see my front tire either...not while in the saddle. As far as the design of the Vision, they sure took their own path on that one!

Rode a Victory Hammer last summer. Overall the bike handled well and had decent power however it reminded me too much of the Japanese cruisers that I have ridden and the motor had some nasty noises coming from the tranny or primary. The bike was brand new at the time. I do like the style of some of their bikes like the Hammer and Vegas but to me there is something about them that makes them seem more like a Japanese cruiser than a Harley when you look closely at them. Give them credit for trying. They have made huge improvements since they first came out.
The Vision well ????? its something only a mother could love.

Five or six years ago the Victory's got my attention because they were priced way below HD. Then when I was ready to buy a bike they had raised there prices to HD levels.

Now high retail and low resale. Not for me and besides I really wanted a HD.

If our RG's are "fugly", and the Vision is "fugly", does that mean that my RG looks as bad as the Vision??????

i took one for a test ride at laconia last year and it was a total piece of crap the transmission clunks worst than any bike i have ever ridden, it is to wide, looks cheap not to mention that when the took us for the test ride one of the bikes broke down. that is the second victory i have ridden the first one was a victory jackpot and that one was a piece of junk as well.
