seattle, wa | I just got the latest Victory Rider magazine with that bike in it. It is based on a Vegas frame, why not just start with a Vision? I am impressed that the body work is hand formed steel.
Says they get over 300HP, hmmmmm....I question that.
I still don't get why they used a Vegas, I'm sure someone here will enlighten me.

Albuquerque, NM | I love the look of the single seat. I wouldn't be surprised if HMD came up with single seat kit somewhere down the road. Wishful thinking... |

New Bohemia, VA | I would love to convert my Vision to a solo seater with a mini trunk and rack where the pillion use to be. I think it's cool they took a vegas and made it look like a vision. |

Looking at it, perhaps it is a better starting point. If you bought a Vision you would end up chucking a lot of it then adding more? |

| 180 miles per hour? Yeah, right..... maybe on a paper. I doubt that they've actually run this thing over 120mph on the street.

| I'd say it looks good and is fast don't know about the 300hp tho. Seem like like more than possible fo a stock motor. I would love to ride it to see the 180mph. |

| Don't think it would do 180mph even if you rode it out of a C130 at 10,000 ft.....IMHO |

Willmar, MN | If you read the article, they are injecting methane and nitrous...kind of like turbo boost on steroids. It could hit the 300 at peak but I think that it would fall off as quick as it came on. It could be a real bitch to handle when you hit the buttons. |

Bullhead City, AZ | I have been around this bike since it still looked like a Vegus with extra body work. The engine is not stock, it has a turbo, nitrous, and methane. The exhaust pipes are the fuel tanks to get a lower center of gravity to increase stability at high speed. I have no idea how fast it will go but my stock VV shuts the motor down at 120. I don't know if it will ever be tried but the owner talked about taking it to Bonneville. It is a long way between 120 and 180 but this bike has almost 3x the HP. I wonder what kind of oil it uses ??????? |

Oviedo, FL | If any of you are interested in a solo style seat like the one fabricated for this bike shoot Mike at HMD an email. He needs 8 interested individuals to get the R&D started. |

Orlando, FL | It's a Vegas-Vision. And remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in your Vision.

Southeast Iowa | I is indeed a Vegas with Vision skins. I saw this bike on the rack a while back when I visited the dealership that did the mods. I will have to pour through my LasVegas photos to see if I have a picture when it was in it's early stages. |

Southeast Iowa | Here are the pics I took in LasVegas of this bike in 2010. It must have been on that rack a while.

Pittsburgh, PA | that looks as much like a vegas as my vision looks like a elctra glide. hell just about all the panels are from a vision. look at where they light name badge is as well.. even the panel under the seat is the exact same as my vision. it looks like a vision that had a little body work (aside from engine). if this is a vegas platform i bet they get told all the time it looks like they just mod'd a stock vision.... |

| A guy here is the citys had a Hayabusa with nitrous and did dyno runs of 187 mph he added a turbo and the dynos could not handle it. A fried had a V rod with turbo and nitrous and could not beat stock Hayabusa.
On paper there all rockets. Bugatti has that new car that does just over 250mph and sells for 1 million bucks. They say at 247mph the tires only last for 49 miles. |
