Orlando | Hey... I have been a HD rider for over 30 years, made a switch to a BMW K1200LT three years ago. I found a GREAT deal on a new Vision and will be picking my new baby up next week.
I am going with the following options:
1. CB/intercom system.
2. Rider backrest.
3. Hitch Doc trailer hitch for my Bushtec trailer.
I was looking for some inside info on how you all enjoy the bike, or the downside of the bike.
Thanks |

West Knoxville TN | No major down side, love the thing. There are of course some minor issues that are in no way across the board issues. My radio and ipod work great, I dont have a lot of issues with exhaust popping. Thing runs great. And welcome to the Vic family.

Goldsboro, NC | Welcome.
I would suggest lower air deflectors. The stock are regarded as a bit ugly, but essential. If/when they break, you can get painted or metal replacements from one of the vendors that frequent this site... cycleops comes to mind. You have to bite the bullet for the first set, though, because no one has copied the mounting hardware yet.
Otherwise, you can look forward to many grins on the bike and many laughs on this forum. |

Orlando | I am getting a 2009. It was the Dealership Owners Demo bike and has 700 miles. I paid just over 14K with the added stuff. It seemed like a good deal! |

Bay of Gigs, WA | You know how on your hog when you're in a long sweeper and the rear end gets to corkscrewing around and you start to worry about dragging hard parts? The Vision doesn't do that.
What kind of oil are you going to use? ;0> |

Tucson, AZ | The only downside to my Vision is the xtra time it takes to get out of a gas station or restaurant due to all the questions and people looking at it.
