After 2 years of contemplating, I finally bought a Vision. 2012 black on black (yes, this color combo was just introduced). For everyone that always loved the Vision 8 Ball look, but wanted the bells and whistles also, your time has come. Only issue is they left the fork lowers silver (easy fix). Absolutely gorgeous bike.

I'm a big guy, 6'2" 280. This is the only "bagger" I feel I fit on. It's a huge bike. Very, very comfortable.

While in the dealership (Victory of Southern Maryland), my wife ended up falling in love with a High Ball and ended up buying it! So, we're now a 2 Victory family.

We'll keep you up to date on our mods, for we have several planned for each.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and glad to be part of the group.

Congrats on BOTH new bikes. I'm a bigger guy as well and have NEVER been on any other bike that comes close to a VV for all out comfort.

Hadn't heard of the black on black, sounds NICE!!

Welcome DAN ! Enjoy - I just reached my 4th year on my SPCSHP ! Loved every minute - just want you to know and understand - nothing personal - just stuff all VV Owners have come to understand - Cherry Red is the 'FASTEST' color - can whoop ANY black or white or any other color. GUARANTEED !!!!

Just SO ya know !!!!

Pomar congrats and welcome. That black on black is new and you must post pics here ASAP. I hate to inform everyone here but if you really want the fastest VV Super Steel Gray is THE only way to fly

Congrats! Sorry, black is the fastest color, but diamond cutting the heads and adding chrome really makes it go much faster.

Congratulations, I did mine backwards and coverted an 8 Ball closer to a Tour version. What we want now is a Uni-Go trailer for it.

'double the pleasure double the fun' 2 Vic family - way to go.

Now regarding the fastest color - since it is a 'factoid' that black is the fastest color 'black on black' must be twice as fast LOL
