I love my 2008 Vision! The only complaint I have is now that it's paid off and going on five years old, I would normally be looking to upgrade bikes. Not with this bike. I can't find a reason not to keep it until 100,000 miles. Seeing I only have 24,400 miles now, that should be a long time. Not a single issue in four years of ownership. Victory mechanics must hate the R&D folks in Spirit Lake. Rain stopped this morning and the sun came out with the temperatures holding at 54 degrees. Went for a beautiful 108 mile ride. Stopped and visited the school disaster monument in New London, TX. Rode the long way home just to mess with my Garmin. It was a fun ride. |

Central Illinois | 24400 in 5 years. Don't you enjoy riding? I live well north of you and ride around 8000 miles per year. That thing is like new in my mind, keep it and ride it. |

Land O Lakes, FL | Wow I've had my 2011 for a year now, it has 18,000 on it! Go ride more lol! I usually get tired of a bike at about the 1 year mark, I can imagine getting rid of my Vision. Unless it's for another Vision. |

Central Illinois | In Texas, I would have at least 8000 miles each year, heck I get that much here in Central Illinois where winters are far more severe. Get out and ride that thing. Quit leaving it in the garage when you could be riding. I ride whenever the temperatures are at least 25F and there is no snow or ice on the road. If you followed that lead you would have double your present mileage. |

| Well the winter is sure holding on here in the Chicago area. Saturday it was close to 60 deg and it was the first chance I have had to take the Vision out (weather/busy). I decided to fill up the gas tank and run to Menards for some small items I needed. I also picked up some lunch. In total I drove about 15 miles but WOW did it feel good to just get riding again.... It was both fun and soul cleansing if you know what I mean. When I got home I cleaned the bike up and put the cover on. The next 10 days look like rain and more cold temps..... Might get one day out of the next 10 but not sure.
Can't wait to start riding to work again.

Sand Rock, AL United States | soul cleansing is exactly how I would describe it. As we say in the South, Bless your heart. If I had to go 2 days without riding, I think a part of me would die. |
