CARTAGENA Spain | Hi all, I'm thinking about changing my Victory Vision but if not wait for 2014.
Anyone know if for that year will be great changes in vision, such as higher power LED bulb, etc..
Or just change the color as this year |

Spirit Lake IA "Birthplace of Victory Motorcycles" | Don't know if anyone knows for sure what the future of Vision is. Many think they will discontinue. I am almost certain that will not happen. Designers have spent a lot of time expanding their offerings with Cross bikes, Hardball, etc. Next year could very well be an improved version of Vision. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if Lloydz doesn't have a performance version right from factory |

New Bohemia, VA | adolfoch, one thing I have noticed about Victory is that they wait until late to tell us anything about the new models. If there is a significant redesign in the Vision for next year I wouldn't expect them to announce it until July 2013 if not later. While I'll have fun with the demise of the Vision, NO ONE below corporate headquarters know that, I'm sure. Those things will not be announced until the dealer meeting in July each year. So, unless they say it from the dealers meeting, it will only be rumor, at least that is what I have learned. |

Orlando, FL | I heard Hyperdrive was coming in 2014, and a flux capcitor and more importantly a "Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor" to eliminate the need for gasoline.
Yea, it'll be hot~ |

CARTAGENA Spain | But someone must know something it makes a model is not reformed in a few months, but it takes more time to study by engineers |

New Bohemia, VA | adolfoch - 2012-08-31 10:46 AM But someone must know something it makes a model is not reformed in a few months, but it takes more time to study by engineers Consider the Vision was in total secret development for 6 years and then it was only announced 7 months prior to the public seeing one in person just one month prior to selling the first one. So yes, someone knows something I'm sure, but they ain't telling you me, just yet. |

CARTAGENA Spain | The truth is that for 2013 there is no change in the vision, only the color and this is very rare, I think there can only be two reasons:
1. - That is going to disappear (which I personally think is a mistake).
2. - That is to perform a deeper modification of this model (because for my goldwing and must compete with BMW, which if you have made many improvements) |

Higher power light fixtures: No. In the US, our headlight brightness is Federally regulated to the equivalent of 55 and 70 Watt beams for OEM lighting on a 12.8V system (as defined by CFR Title 49). U.S. bike companies are not going to be producing a higher power lamps due to the fact that they will not meet DOT approval. This would be why it is a popular mod in the US to swap out lamps with aftermarket units.
LED fixture replacement. No one knows. But the price of manufacturing will increase if this did happen. Get ready to spend more in 2014 regardless.
If anyone gives you a list of changes of the 2014 models around here before next year, they are pretty much lying to you.

CARTAGENA Spain | I am very happy with my vision, but I've always wanted a white one and I think if I wait for the vision of 2014 and does not improve I can no longer buy the white. And if I buy the white vision depues 2012 and 2014 model carries many improvements since I can not buy it for lack of money. This is a dilemma |

Rhode Island | If white is what you like then try to negotiate a good price. If the dealer will sell it to you for the price you want to pay the go for the sure thing; who know what the future will bring.

I have been to many dealerships in my travels Older still new Visions are in inventory .You can still purchase new 2009 Ness Visions and many other colors.
You can wait for the news on a 2014 then decide with no worries. |

Orlando, FL | Since you are happy with your Vision but want a White one, why not just get it painted? DUH~ Dilemma solved. You have your white Vision (or any other color you want) AND you have the money for a 2014 if it comes and you want that. Ta-da!!
