I own a 2011 Vision and had a chance to test ride a 2013 Cross Country Tour this last weekend at Bair's Victory in North Canton Ohio.

I have the on the fly electrically adjustable windscreen and that was the very first thing I felt was lacking on the Cross Bike.  

The bike I rode had a huge windscreen that required me to look though it rather than my normal preference of looking over it.  Simply put, i could never own a motorcycle with a windscreen that I had to look through rather than over.

The bike handled well as far as acceleration and cornering, and the radio reception seemed very good.  No mute button on the handlebars.

I didn't like the seat as much as what I have on my Vision.  

Wind protection was very good but once again i really disliked the huge windscreen.  

I felt slightly more confined in comparison to my Vision's more stretched out cockpit.  

All in all, I had a good time on the test ride and if it wasn't for the Vision, I could definitely see the attraction of the Cross Country Tour.

I've test ridden the CCT several times at different locations. Yes we all know it has superior storage capacity, but the lack of the adjustable wind screen and less wind protection made the bike just seem smaller and not as comfortable...........

Like I say, I would buy a 15th Anny if it came with reverse and a powered windshield. And a less than $30k price tag. I didn't think Polaris was going to mix Indian with Victory or just in price?
