Some say it's too slow but I can't think of a way to regulate it when moving so I feel the speed it has is perfect for all situations. I don't need to be in a big hurry on my bike even just backing up. Of course it came on my Anny but I was going to get it if I bought a different Vision.

It is nice to never worry about how or what angle you park... Also if you want to put it on a lift backwards.... It does seem a little slow but it allows you to have better control over the bike. A friend added it to his Vision because he pulls a camper/trailer - it has greatly enhanced his parking of the "rig". My wife wishes we could add it to her 08 but - damn the luck - we can't...

It sure comes in handy: 1) At the end of a long day. 2) Stuck in a pothole in a parking lot. picard Posted 2010-10-13 2:22 PM (#71585 - in reply to #71411) Subject: Re: Reverse gear poll Cruiser Posts: 111 Prairie Dog Heaven, CO My LT had reverse (comes standard). Got me out of trouble more than once (deep gravel parking lots, sandy, downsloping parking lots, etc.) However the VV is much lower than the LT and I have -so far- gotten out of everything without having to call for help :-) AUSIE JACK Posted 2010-10-14 4:17 AM (#71603 - in reply to #71411) Subject: Re: Reverse gear poll Puddle Jumper Posts: 19 I got reverse fitted for $3,338.00 little Aussie dollars. You people are lucky to pay $1,600 US. I have learnt over the years to get what you want as early as possible to get the longest use of it. cw1115 Posted 2010-10-14 6:02 AM (#71608 - in reply to #71411) Subject: Re: Reverse gear poll Visionary Posts: 1290 Ruskin, Fl I learned the first week I had the bike to pay attention to how I park. I was strong enough to push the bike back, but it was a little sandy. No traction. Kinda scary since when my foot slipped I nearly dropped my brand new bike. Got stuck one other time, didn't see a rut in a grass parking lot. I bought the person that pushed me back a $3 adult beverage. I'de have to get stuck alot before that equaled the cost of reverse.
