You know, I've had the problems: turn signals, stereo, yadda, yadda, yadda.... That said, I love my bike. My big complaint has been with the service. Not sure if it's my dealer or Victory..... i.e.. I called the dealership yesterday, to ask about my clutch piece coming in, and if they could do the current recall service when I bring the bike back in next week. They had not even heard of the recall yet! I sent them the forms that I downloaded,thanks to a post on this forum, of the recall notice. First they've heard of it. When my bike was in the shop, for 5 weeks back in March/April, it took them 3 weeks to get the stuff together for the ignition switch recall (which was what had my bike dead to begin with), which was announced a few weeks before I had my issues. I'm not sure if it's that Victory isn't keeping their dealers in the know, or if that my dealer isn't persistent in keeping on top of the issues. I've owned my bike for 9 months, it's been in the shop so far for a total of just over 10 weeks for service. I've put almost 12,000 miles on it, me, my butt, and my back are smiling..... I knew that a first year bike would have it's headaches (and my husband reminds me of this whenever it has a glitch).

It is the most comfortable, head turning bike I've ever had my buttocks on top of.... Hubby wanted me to get a Gold Wing. He has an '06, that he bought in Nov. '05, and has almost 60,000 miles on. I love his bike, but it doesn't look or feel like my bike, as in something that I could ever call my own.... The Vision does. I get frustrated with the down time on it, but I know any new bike, especially a brand new model, is going to have some trouble. My Honda VTX 1800, with less than 500 miles on it, had the rear brakes go out (a bolt worked loose), and my Honda ST 1300, with less than 200 miles on it, blew a seal on the head (wasn't installed correctly). My GMC Envoy blew a transmission seal with less than 600 miles on it. It seems to be my electromagnetic field! My hubby has never had a problem with a new vehicle. It seems to be my curse. That being said, I am shopping around for an exteneded warranty on my Vision. It seems like I will use it! I post my troubles, complaints, because I beleive that we all help each other. The Victory dealer tried to tell me that it was just me having these problems with my bike. I am glad to be able to tell them that there are others out there. I hope it gets Victory to keep on top of the QC and make future models that much better.

By the way, did anyone notice that, when researching the recall on the NHTSA website, that, when you enter in the info, and you get past "2008", then "Victory", that the Vision is the only model that comes up with any recalls?
