Victoria, BC | Great review! You answered a lot questions that were on my mind. Three weeks away from doing a test drive. Can hardly wait.
Cheers,

New Bohemia, VA | thanks Songfan. I'll be doing one around the 10,000 mark which is about a couple weeks away. I'm breathing on 9,000 now. I've got to check my tires, but it looks like I'll get about 15,000 at best guess at this time. I'll soon be putting on about 62 miles a day beginning in May, so that'll put on the miles. Like you, I look at the weather to see what to wear, not to decide what I'll be taking to get there.

Puyallup, Washington | Wow! That is a fantastic review. Thanks Songfan. Everytime I read the great comments from all the other Vision riders on this site, I get all giddy just thinking: Hey! I have one too. I only have 1500 miles on mine and am looking forward to every coming mile. Keep the good comments and reviews coming. |

Well, that might be a little generous for the rear. I've got to take a closer look but it doesn't look to worn though it has noticable wear. The front still looks meaty after 8,900 miles. E3 seem to be a very good tire for ride and wear, another thing I'm glad of when the Vision came stock with them. |

Central Florida | 9200 on my tires, they still look pretty good. I am not sure how far they will go and if I will replace with something different... |

CALGARY ALBERTA | 15 Thousand is great tire mileage. It sounds like mostly solo riding, so doubling up would most likely reduce the life cycle.

20 miles west of Chicago. | That review made some nice reading...thanks. Taking mine in to the dealer for the 500 mile service on Wednesday. I'm still envious of you guys who have weather good enough to get those miles on, but my chance is coming up soon. |

Memphis | The type in the review looks tiny compared to how I typed it. I posted it with a size 12 font, does it look like about a 6 to the rest of you?

Evergreen, CO | Us old farts had to go SERIOUSLY into bifocal mode to see the "fine" print, but it was worth it! Great write up....Victory should be monitoring these things, using them in their advertising, and paying the authors royalties!!! I know much of what has been written on this site helped to GREATLY influence me to make the jump to buy a Vision - much more than any existing advertising or Polaris/Victory/Vision corporate websites.....C'Mon Victory, where is your marketing department??? This is a GREAT resource (as most of us who visit this site already know).

Western WA | I hope you know, SF, that your writeup did nothing to cure my itch. I need my bike - NOW.
What a wonderful writeup! It's great to have all of you guys 'blaze the trial' for the rest of us, and report back.
Thanks, and keep up the good work. |

Harrisburg, PA | That was a great review. I have test ridden one for over 50 miles and will be picking mine up on the 14th of this month. This will be my third victory. I had a 99v92c, a 2002TC and now the vision. They just keep getting better!
