Reno County, KS | I agree. The graphics remind me of an RV. What's up with that? I don't wanna poo-poo it too much on this forum because it might really hurt some owner's feelings but good greif. The rest of the upgrades are pretty sweet though. I guess that's half of a criticism sandwich for any of you P-C types. LOL |

| I hated the seat. Looks cool but is stiff as a plank and doesn't fit near as nice as the stocker. Oddly I felt as though I was sitting "on top" instead of in the Vision.
If you like this bike my dealer has one for sale. I've convinced him that it would be a great selling point to throw in the rider and passenger backrests, he agree's.
The bike is cool looking no doubt, but I bought mine to ride not polish. Meaning they took off the functional parts to install the showie stuff. I'll stick with my premium tour. |

Richmond, Virginia | Interesting development at my dealership. They ordered one of them for me to look at and when it came in, considering what was NOT
on the bike vs what came on the bike and the fact that i thought it looks like a breaching whale with the paint scheme. (no offense to any of you who own it and love it), I chose a Black Street Premium, then chromed it. That left my dealership with the Ness that he originally though "no sweat, if Mac doesnt buy it, It will sell quickly to someone else". Well guess what, it is still sitting there in the showroom, and what are they ordering like crazy?? The new blue Tours and Streets. I said all along that the blue will be popular back when Vic asked my opinion about doing a retro blue. So now my dealer is thinking that he will take the Ness as his demo bike
for this year and ride it himself. Just kinda interesting huh. I think if they added heated seat/grips, power windshield, reverse, the Ness would sell better, but then the price would just be nuts. my opinion feel free to disagree |

| I think you hit the nail on the head VaParadox. You give up too much in function for not enough customization. I suppose it is like ANY bike option, you buy for your personal riding habits and likes. Funny but I find myself saying it doesn't have this or that and yet my previous bikes didn't either. How quickly we become spoiled, lol.
As stated before the Ness Vision has some great features. Shame they couldn't maintain the functional components while adding the showie features. |
