It looks like a very well built machine with a lot of great ideas and enhancements but I can't get past the looks. It's just too bizarre for my tastes and it's not something I would ever buy, even if Harley did go belly up. I would probably buy a Victory but not this particular model. It's just butt ugly & there is no getting around it but then that's what makes my bike look better when you have something like this sitting next to it. For those of you that want to get the quick on the bike, here is a link where you can make up your own minds. You should get a free spaceman suit vs a tshirt for test riding one of these.

Got the Harley out this weekend and rode it around. It's going to be hard to get rid of the HD. Not sure this is a good move, still considering selling it. Have had a couple people interested, everytime someone comes over to look at the bike, I get a harsh feeling in the pit of my stomach. Maybe this is a sign telling me not to sell.

Are you kidding? I promise, you will regret it. Every time I see a Victory Vision, I think of George Jetson. I just see you in 6 months or so ridding into a Harley dealer wanting to trade the Vision for a new Ultra Classic. The dealer says, "ARE YOU KIDDING?"

Well I had a victory jackpot, swapped it for a corvette. Anyway, the victory is a very well built bike, very strong. Little maintenance required.
I am on my first harley, a 09 ultra with abs. Happy so far, but was surprised at the lack of power. Of course I traded a Triumph rocket for it, so I am used to people telling me I ride an ugly bike.
If you like it get it, I am sure it is quite nice on the long haul.

My wife and I rode our 2008 Ultra Classic (105th Anniversary Edition #1081 of 7000) to Washington, D.C. this year for "Rolling Thunder". While we were in D.C., I had the opportunity to see a 2009 Victory Vision. Once we retuned home, I could not get the Victory Vision out of my mind. Last week we rode to the our local Victory dealership. After a closer look at the Vision, I have decided to sell the Ultra Classic and get the Vision. If anyone is interested in an 08 Ultra, which is still under factory warranty and only has 6,370 miles on it, email me at Pears2@aol.com for pictures and complete details. (NO TRADES)

Competition is good for the consumer. I think that more people should buy Victory bikes and maybe HD will offer incentives or bonuses for buyers. This will also push HD to match or exceed the performance specs of the competition. ED, you should go for it! If you have any regrets then sell it and get something else. It is your $$$ and your ride.
Please let us know how that works out for you.

I went to buy one before I got my Ultra C, it was a great deal for about 20 grand, did the paperwork etc. my wife and I have what I called good credit, house, 09 accord etc. Well the **** comes back and tells me that, I can't get you financed on a new bike. I looked at his @ss and said oh really.. well I tell you what, I will be back in about an hour.
I went straight to Mancuso Harley, and within 1 hr 30 mins I was riding out the d@mn door on my Ultra Classic, I rode right back to the Victory Dealer, asked to see the GM, and salesman, stood by the front door, and when they walked up I said Gentlemen, what do you see right over there, my wife waived at them. I said now can you explain to me how I can buy a brand new Harley Ultra Classic, yet you could not sale me a 20K spaceship. To hell with Victory, I AM GLAD TODAY THAT I DID NOT GET IT, now that I see them, they are pretty ugly and not much you can do other than ride it.
