Alberta, Canada | I would and will buy another Victory Vision. They are absolutely the best bike around. I ride with a few Harleys all summer and none of there bikes has a chance of keeping up to me let alone the fact that I have better wind protection, I am able to hear my sound system at speed, and of course the Harley feels like a cramed mini-bike after riding on the massive amounts of seating space the Vic has!!! It also gets the attention!!! On one journey we took this summer, as a person was admiring my Vic, he included my friends brand new 2008 Ultra classic to be polite but mistaking thought it was a much older model and when I told him it too was brand new he said, "Oh, they sure don't change there styles much!!" I thought that said it all. I have put close to 4000 k on it in a relatively short time and haven't had an ounce of trouble. The more I ride it the better it runs. I find that the faster I go the smoother in runs. The milege at this point is a solid 47 miles per gallon and we don't drive the speed limit very much!!! If we did I an sure I could get a solid + 50 mpg. Everything works as it should!!! I sometimes find myself just stopping and staring at my Vic for hours because I can't get over how beautiful the lines look!!! I am also very lucky as my Victory dealer here in Red Deer Alberta bends over backwards to help me. ie. Oil change, buying accessories, etc. Unfortunately our riding season is almost over up here, but I can't wait to tour next summer. QUESTION: Has anyone had any experience with lifting there Vision on a 12" square floor jack and if so how did it work. I bought a decent floor motorcycle jack but the one time I had it up it seems rather woobley. Is this normal??? |

Ruskin, Fl | This has been discussed many times. Look at the article on the home page for a good tip in getting the wheels off the ground.

Hi Jim...I am in Red Deer as well Midnight Cheery Premium Tour bought from Doug/Jerome in the spring. Love the bike. Just around 15,000Kms ths summer and most of that was prior to the start of August.
I have a floor jack that I have used for my Vision. Works well. I will send you an email with my phone number and you can give me a call if you want details on the make model.
BTW....I saw a Midnight Cheery Tour going south through the intersection of Taylor Drive/Ross Street on Thursday morning (around 820AM) was that you by any chance. It was the first MC Vision I have seen on the road. As I watched it ride by I though, damn my bike looks good.

Cottage Grove, Mn | Absolutely in a heart beat, I have 6,000 very comfortable miles on mine and I am still ecstatic. IMHO it has to be the best bike on the market. Riding comfort, handling, power and performance are second to none.
I had a problem with the radio while on a trip, I called the dealer and he had one waiting for me on my return, now that's service. This is my third Victory (03TC Deluxe, 06 Jackpot that I still own) and I have had only two problems that Polaris and my dealer took care of in a very timely manner.
On another note I'm sure you all have gotten the crappy comments like the design looks like a Jetson Mobile or a Spaceship and the likes from the Harley boys. Well I just respond buy mournfully gazing at their ride and replying; at least Victory employs a design team and that usually shuts their pie hole
