Hello all ,,, I just picked up a used 2008 black cherry Vision with 6000 miles on it. I have been looking and interested in the Vision since it came out. Test road one a few years back and was impressed with it,,, so I have finally got one and am more impressed with this machine than ever. It is a pleasure to ride and I just don't want to stop !!!!

Brett ( happy owner )

I came from a sport-touring bike and never really liked cruisers. But THIS bike seems to fit me pretty good. I miss the power of the sport-tourer, but the handling and comfort of this bike is really REALLY good. Enjoy it.

Oh yeah. If you haven't yet, better familiarize yourself with some of the specs about it. And be ready for the stares and questions at gas stations, rest stops, restaurants, well, anywhere really.

Calgary, AB,
Brett, picked up my new to me '08 Midnight Cherry VV in late July, with about 6200 KM on it. I'd looked long and hard to even find one, as used supply in Canada seemed VERY limited.
Now up to about 12000 KM including one 3500 KM week trip. LOVIN IT.
Good luck with your's, mines been trouble free and hoping it stays that way.
A great ride for sure!!

6,000 miles in 3 years.
166 miles per month of ownership.
Believe it or not, that is pretty close to the average number of miles that most motorcyclists ride.

Normally I think this number is sad enough, but a TOURING bike?! Really?! Sigh. Disappointing, America. Disappointing.
