Stoughton, WI | Better fit and finish on fiberglass parts, less vibration noise. Copy what Honda did on the 1990 GW, put 98000 miles on mine not one rattle/vibration. It's 2015 get with it. I will be anxious to see the next gen vision, hope they keep all the ride positions/ergonomics the same it is the most comfortable bike on the market, my friends call it the lazy boy of motorcycles. Lot of good ideas hope Victory listens. |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | It's my 'couch rocket'.
Only complaint I have is getting to the headlights. Lossed some skin doing those.

I have. You won't believe how much body work has to come off just to change the air filter on a Goldwing. The Vision is a piece of cake.

| While I realize the bottom line dictates most business thinking, I hate that Victory didn't see fit to offer far more of those things...LED headlights...turn/brake lights in the trunk... upgraded stereo system (though I have no interest in listening to a radio while I'm riding) for the Vision...anyway...just a few...but they COULD have offered more items as an option. |

Virginia Beach, VA | The only thing that bothers me is the body panels rubbing together and creaking. But, the Ness Big Honkers and speed help a lot. |

Carrollton, TX | No Hates.
Mirrors are fine. I can see directly behind me.
Saddle bag capacity is fine. I can pack 2 weeks worth of clothes in one bag. It is a bitch to get the liner in & out of the saddle bag when packed to capacity. Holds just as much as my old Ultra.
Heated grips could be larger diameter. I have long fingers |

| just came in from garage and looked all over the bike for fiberglass parts. Didn't find a one.
If you think about a vision 80% plastic and 5% steel and 15% aluminum. How does this dam bike way so much. 880 pounds |

Ponca City, OK | These are more expectations than hates. They are also reasons that I would not have purchased the victory motorcycle if I had know on this before I bought it.
1. The radio should have intercom standard.
2. If there is a 3.5 aux input, it should work.
3. There should be a built in way to get error codes or diagnostic codes.
4. Liquid wrench should be available to owners at a reasonable price.
5. The radio antenna should work.
6. Maintenance items should easier to access.
7. Common known problems should be taken care of by Victory. |

trunk and saddlebag rattles
I can't agree more.
I got so tired of trim rattles (even with the truck taken off), I disassembled all the rear trim and put flock tape anywhere a piece of plastic trim could contact another piece of trim.
Something like this should work --> http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&fie...
Now a normal rider would just get louder exhaust... but I drive a Vision, damnit! |

Tumbler Ridge, BC Canada | The Kickstand No Good
I decided to do some modifications to my kickstand after it started to bend. I talked to my dealer about it and he put in a request to have it replaced under warranty. Polaris never replied - big surprise.
I wrote Polaris about it and they told me my 5-year warranty does not cover as the kickstand is only covered under the first year - Another big surprise! |

What feature do you HATE most about the vision?
