| rodog - 2008-09-14 2:48 PM another ? now would be an 08 ....to get a better deal,,,,or an 09...I really want the premium and the 09 has the billet wheels and more to the chrome package, plus the tweeter upgrade to the stereo......and am i wrong in feeling some a the bugs may have been worked out... opions on this.. I've seen some of the dealers that advertise online (there's a post here with a couple of links to 2 of them...) that have the Tour Premiums for nearly 5000 off the list price. You can buy a lot of chrome for 5k. There are a few issues that most everyone is having in one form or another. The good news is that we've managed to work out fixes (either for you or your dealer) for most of them. Victory is aware of the others and is working fixes for most of them, too. The only one in my mind that isn't getting properly resolved is the poor paint/clear coat. But that can be worked around by doing a really good job detailing the bike--either yourself or professionally--and applying Liquid Glass. On the bright side, the worst case around here is Teach. He seems to have gotten Murphy's Bike that has pretty much every problem that the Vision has been having. And even he likes the bike.  | |||

| rodog - 2008-09-14 11:23 AM Yeahp that is why I am here to research ....and very serious about getting one ...but that really all plays on the sale of mine or what they may offer on my RG....I am a realist......i have prob about 28k invested in it...but we all know accs. dont always matter to whom is buying it....some may like some may not.....I am askin 18500.00 for my RG and think it is very resonable.........I do plan on testing the vision...the 1st dealr I went to hear well sorta got shugs from him I am 35 and well look prob 30 as my wife and we were with are son so did not have the bike with me ...he was givin us the like ya this KID is gonna buy one a these.....well since then i thinkI have found a dealer 30 miles away with a good rep....so i will head over their when I get a chance.. another ? the trunk if ordered sep....can ya add speakers to it and the stree model ...has the hook up for them right??under the seat... Your point about dealers judging you is a great indicator of what kind of people you are deaing with. When I do my research trips to the dealers I always wear shorts, a t-shirt and a 2 day stubble growth. Its interesting how sales people will incorrectly judge me and often will ignore me because of my looks. Their loss....and I move onto the next dealer. When the right dealer comes along and talks to me like a human being....they suddenly realize they have a buyer who has a 700+ credit score and some $$'s in my pocket. I also walk back and chat with the parts and service guys.... Good luck on the sale of your RG and bobber. Even though you won't get back everything you've put into it....it's all worth it when you come out of the store of a gas station and there are 5 bikers walking around your Vision at the gas pump. This happened to me (again) on Saturday.  Edited by spursmvp 2008-09-15 2:22 PM | |||

| Rebel - 2008-09-15 8:11 AM Big Vic - 2008-09-14 6:07 PM As far as the clear coat goes, it's the exact same clear coat that Victory puts on every other model. I was told this by a Victory engineer and saw it for myself while I was in their plant. That may be, but I'd be willing to argue the point. The paint on my '06 Kingpin was MUCH hardier than what is on my Vision. How do you judge paint hardness?  My Vision paint wears no differently than my Ness JP. It all seems the same to me but if there is a hardness indicator I'd love to know about it. | |||

The vision may be on hold a tad longer .......gota sell the Rg it's paid for in full...and the remainder I need for the vision is gonna be the factor either way it should happen before season end here or the begining next year...( I think I got the Bug)....sucks was gonna take a ride to go test ride one tomorow ...work has nothn for me the rest a the week but weather says no..no!...errrrrr | |||

| Rodog, DO NOT TEST RIDE THE VISION. Well, unless you want to buy one. That's what I went for, just a test ride. I couldn't afford it. I already had a couple of bikes in the garage. It was too early in the model year. I was going to wait for the bugs to get worked out. Then I rode the darn thing. Before I knew what was happening I had one on order. Best decision I've made all year long. Funny how that works sometimes. | |||

It all seems the same to me but if there is a hardness indicator I'd love to know about it. Try re-reading that part. I wrote hardiness.  Meaning, the paint/clearcoat/whatever-ya-call-it was much more resistant to scratching and scuffing on my 06 than it is on my vision. Case in point: My jean-wrapped legs hugged the tank on my Kingpin for over 12,000 miles and didn't scuff off the paint. There are several people here who have had the paint scuffed off their bags from the riders' legs after a mere 2,000 miles. Edited by Rebel 2008-09-16 12:06 AM | |||

| Rebel - 2008-09-18 9:43 AM rodog - 2008-09-17 8:24 PM ...He said he also goes to make sure no one is hot rodin his bikes I can understand all that hey its a test ride ...try to get that fromHD.... ...finally some one that is listening to me unlike HD has not!! Around here the HD dealer is just the opposite. They are probably the best dealer in the area now that my Vic dealer has closed shop. The Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Kawasaki dealers won't let you take bikes for test rides; the HD dealer (and the old Vic dealer...) does. You have to wait literally months to get your metric bike worked on in the summer; my HD buddies tell me the HD dealer gets them in and out fast. Guess is just goes to show you that regardless of the brand, it's all a matter of the attitude of the dealership owner. 100 % ...I do agree its all on the specif dealers and the areas I believe that they are located ...down here i am inthe metro are and well even the metric dealers they havea revolving door of customers comin in......the HD's well its become almost a trend thing so merchandise and everything else ...the attitude unfortunatley is were makin $$.......in todays bussiness most forget what a customer is.........the heart of thier bussiness. As far as waiting on the bike still may be up in the airHD still has my ride for a warrenty issue....and I am waitn on that as that is my big chunk O $$$ to pay for the vision.....it's gonna happen but WHEN!!! | |||
