I'm betting that will be the 2014 models, given that the 10th Anniversary Vision was an '09 model. |

They were Vin-ed as 1999 models.
Not for nothing but there is still the 112" models shown on the secret survey leaked from the factory a couple years back. They also showed the first view of the XCT, and a Vision with X bike style bags. I'm thinking a 112" may be closer then we think |

New Bohemia, VA | I wonder if they go with a 112" would it fit the 2008 Vision frame?? I got to start making plans for beyond 200,000 miles. |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | 112 cu inches would be nice....... All it needs is a slight bore increase.......might get 10 more ft lbs of torque in stock guise. |

would only 6 C.I. more be worth a motor swap or thousand$ in engine work to a 106? kinda seems like a drop in the bucket to me.. even lloyds kit gives you 10 More Cubic Inches. my "guess" a Cammed 106 is probably more spunky than a E.p.a. controlled "street legal" 112 motor. but i could be wrong. |

My HD friends seam to think that a regular 110 is coming out. It's a marketing item as much as anything else. |

personally think my 106 is plenty.. now what im about to say i can NOT proven. but i have had others who owned a 08 and then went to 11 say the same thing.. When i got my 11 vision and traded in my 08 i thought my 11 had more power stock than my 08 did with the s1l1... Now this is only by the seat of my pants dyno. no Real proof.. But before i owned a vision i had a kawa"sucki" with a 125c.i. motor. so for me taking a bad step was more in my head than anything else. yes the 125 had way more torque. but the 106 motor is just all together such a better product. 5sp vs 6. 3 drain plugs vs 1 and the list goes on.. that 125 kicked out some serious Heat! if you got caught in traffic some times i would turn it off... |

Everything HD does is a marketing item. AND it works, they sold 235,000 motorcycles last year....... |

Gainesville Fl Home of the Gators | An 11 makes no more power then a 08 on my Dyno, but the 11 is geared lower I believe in first through third. Which would give the set of the pants feel of more power.
A 112 would be straight bore, and about as big as it can get without adding cast iron liners. Personally I hope they do go 112 and you can bet your ass I'll be swapping up as soon as I can figure out how to get a set of jugs |

I can't argue that and they do have a lot of people hooked. As a friend of mine said "I'll ride a broke down Harley before I ride anything else". I told I'm glad he feels that way because that's what he's riding. |

The Vision bows to the VN2000. (see picture, and JUST JOKING!)

The VN2000 sooo damn smooth. But, it is missing all the touring & electronics
of the Vision. I still like my Super Steel Gray the most of all the Vision colors,
but I'd really like to try out a new Vision's transmission. I still can't believe
my Vision's 7 speed gearbox without a working 2nd gear. Who okay'ed this
set up???
I am thinking there will be a two tone Cross Country Tour in 2013. I am toying with
trading in the Goldwing & Vision for 1 bike. I like the Vision's fairing too much though
over the fork mounted CC Tour. I don't know.
