| The reason I ask is I might be looking to trade for a new vision .I have a 2008 and hate to jump the gun if they have some new stuff coming out. Sense HD came out with a new audio system and Indian has some sort of fancy set up. It got me wondering if victory had any thing in the works. The only other thing I see that would help is some improvement in the saddle bag size. Other than that I really see no reason to trade other than the bikes showing some age. A scuff here, a paint chip there, normal things. I went nuts when the vision first came on the scene . Now I'm wondering if they have anything new other than paint coming out??? |

| <p>There will be new electrics I'm sure of that. Maybe even a bigger motor. Maybe some body changes. Yes I think the gages will change a long with fly by wire throttle and that will be nice.</p><p>The new ones will come out at sturgis but you can bet the dealers will know by mid july</p>

Peru, IN | The dealers may or may not know early on but unless you have a VERY good relationship with your local dealer, don't expect them to let on that they know anything. I bought my Vision brand new from my local dealer in Sept 2012 and asked them just before Sturgis last year if there was anything new coming out for Victory in general. Their answer was, "How would I know?". If they knew anything, I think they would have told me just to keep my business. (Or not.) |

Peru, IN | Yup. 2014 is the last model year of the Vision. (Anybody want to buy a "classic" 2012 Vision? $35k gets it!) lol |

Central Illinois | I can do better than that MM. I will sell a '13 for that same price and I have some added bling, the lower wind deflectors and the timing wheel. I will take all of the risks associated with no 2015 Vision model. |

Akron Ohio area | The only thing my dealer knows for sure is that there will be a new motor and transmission produced by Victory.
Now, this could be the smaller water cooled motor we saw sketches of a few weeks ago.
He swears that's all he knows.
I asked if I could repeat that rumor and said yes. |

Prairie City, IA United States | I really don't see any advantage to a water cooled bike. I had a Star 1300 & Kawasaki 900 that were both water cooled. The 1300 was every bit as warm to ride as the Vision and the Kawasaki would bake your right leg. Cooling is cooling whether it is by water or oil. I am sticking with the oil cooled engine because there is less to maintain. |

Orlando, FL | I've heard from very reliable sources that must remain unnamed....... that the 2015 Vision will be equipped with Photon Torpedoes, a Cloaking device (could be used to annoy HD riders as you suddenly appear next to them, or avoid the stares and questions of bystanders), a Flux Capacitor, An "Automatic Park" feature that parks the bike for you, and rims that clean themselves!! Other than that, it's the same Vision!! LOL

Grand Cane, LA | Judging by the contest pictures, I think they are going to be focusing on competing with the V-Rod. So I'm guessing the Vision will not get an upgrade this year, or if there will even be a Vision this coming year. The Vision market has been dropping off bad the last couple of years from what I hear from a couple of dealers. |

New Bohemia, VA | I think the market has dropped off also. My dealer who just picked up the Victory last year had 8 XC/XR and one of each of the others, including the Vision. I see where this is going, "I want bigger bags" instead of a better ride, thought. It's not likely they'll change the Vision much since it is what it is that makes it ride like it does. I'm no engineer, but I believe the Vision body design is the result of extensive windtunnel testing to get that just right flow. You change that, you change the ride. Arlen is selling his Vision mod that has Harley bags on it. As a motorcycle it looks cool, but at the same time it looks like a morph from the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". I believe they've got some clay of the Vision II that will have better weather protection than the X-bikes, but will but will not look like the Vision.
Personally, I felt the Vision would go the way of the Tucker or the Edsel eventually. Another personal feeling is that Victory is just exhausting stocks of parts, putting minimal effort in any new R&D. Though, if Victory to the stuff that Indian put on their "Heritage" bikes, like keyless ignition, jammin' stereo and any other cool widget, the Vision would get a second wind. |

Victoria Tx, TX United States | Vision won't be Indian.. Does not fit their style.. I purchased my Vision for the looks, ride, and yes LAM "look at me" factor! Yes they could lower the # of panels.. Make the saddle bags larger.. Pretty much thats it. Personally packing space is enough for me! |
