| Any regrets or complaints regarding the Vision? Seems like a lot of recalls back in 2008. Have there been many lately, specifically 2011 to present? |

Chattanooga, TN | All first year models evolve into better machines, and the kinks get worked out with time. I love what Victory has done to improve them in recent years, but I still love my '08 and won't be upgrading for many more miles to come. No regrets. |

Jasper, MO | I agree with Brian, all first year models have a few kinks that get worked out as the years progress. That said, the Vision had fewer than some of it's competitors did, and that includes the Japanese makes. The only recalls I'm aware of (and that I've had done) to the 2008 model was for the ignition switch and the main circuit breaker. I also had my 2008 radio replaced under warranty with the updated model that went into the 2010 models. This was before the release of the 2010 models, but I was told my new radio was the same as what would be in the 2010. In any event, it works much better than the original.
I've had no other problems or regrets concerning my 2008 Vision. It's the best bike I've ever owned in 47 years of riding.

| No regrets. Like the reasonably priced, easy to do performance upgrades for the Vision too. |

| Nozzledog - 2012-12-01 1:58 AM I regret not getting cams when I had the opportunity. My only regret is that there's no one in my part of the world that installs cams Lloyds way. I guess I'll install them myself. Other than that I have thoroughly enjoyed my Vision. I'm sure that when the redesign comes out,if it does,I'll buy a new one. |

I regret not getting cams when I had the opportunity.That's a shame to hear. If you're still interested to have them installed let me know. I may have a solution for you.

| Chris, it's been couple years since the cam party I attended. Don't know if there has been one since but surely (with the addition of the cross bikes) there would be enough interest in DFW for Kevin to make the trip back. Don't you think? |

Bay of Gigs, WA | At 10,000 miles the foot brake went to the floorboard. The dealer changed the fluid & they were only okay after that. At 12,000 the pedal was getting soft again. Don't know if it was routing past the exhaust issues, a bad master brake cylinder or what, but it doesn't impress me. |

I might try and get three more people together after the first of the year. |

Marietta, GA | I'm a new owner and I too love my vision. Do any of the long time owners "dislike" the plastic faring and all of the work it is to take the bike apart to get to simple things like lights and wiring etc? To me it's the same as a 2012 car vs a 1970 car. The 1970 was easy to work on, everything is right there you can climb in the engine compartment and change the spark plugs, on the vision simple things like checking tire pressure (w/o a TPMS) takes some work. I wouldn't change anything (or buy anything else), but I know that a simple job on my vision will take some extra time to dissemble everything. |
