I saw one and test rode one. I liked the way it handled. I liked the way it looked and I could put both feet down. The wife likes it because the back seat sits high enough that she can see over me instead of having to look around me.
Only thing I didn't like was the clutch rattling the way it did and that the passenger pillions hit me in the calves when I was walking or backing up. I could get over that as when I have the floorboards down on the RK it does it too. I liked the electric windshield and heated stuff. Actually the wife liked the heated seat, didn't matter so much to me.
Other than that I like it. Some people don't like the looks of it, but some don't like the looks of the batwing fairing either. It's your dime. Buy what you like.

Yes, Biggest mistake you ever made...Be sure to post your write-up here what you'd think of your new bike as we all would like to know the difference in bells and whistles between the two.

Wow - well, you're the one paying the bill, so you get to buy what you want - but I second the other guys when I say the Vision ain't my cup of tea. Just saw one on the highway the other day and it doesn't look any better in motion than it looks standing still...

I saw one parked at the restaurant the other day and went up and took a good, close look. That is the ugliest motorcycle of any brand I have ever seen. I have yet to meet anyone who likes it, other than a couple of folks on this thread.
That being said, good luck with your purchase.
