Hartland, , WI | ...had to share this with the Vision folks...you might not have seen this in quite a while!
For all those people that wonder why the Vision is so popular with us we should fix/permanent paste this link to the forum section.
I had a BMW 1200LT fully loaded and couldn't drive it more than an hour and my knee started hurting. Saw the Vision when they came out...5 minute ride...bought it...sold the BMW the next day.
If comfort is what you rate very high on a touring bike this website is perfect. Check the knee angle difference betwee the BMW 1200LT and the Vision.....22 degrees!!!! The Goldwing....17 degrees! You can stop wondering why one test ride will make you pull the trigger.

Springfield, TN | Interesting site... they must have measured the seat height with a lot of air in the shock. The visual comparisons are cool and it confirms what we Vision Riders already know. Put a backrest on, kick your feet to the front of the floorboard and you will feel like you're in an easy chair! |

, FL United States | Chris, I agree 100%. Today I rode with a bunch of "crocket" and Beemer riders and watched as they dropped their legs down straight to get some blood flow back in them after riding in that crouched position.
I'm sorry but I just don't get it LOL |
