New Bohemia, VA | I'm not really sure what to make of the new badge on the vision. It's really not deco art inspired in my opinion and seems rather bland. I like the fact their is no Polaris 1954 on it. I think that if there is enough response that perhaps we could shake the boys in the front office to give us something that speaks volumes at first glance. What are your thoughts.

Alberta | I think Victory should offer a multiple choice of badges so an owner can put on what appeals most to them. Make 10 different badges I say. I ended up putting the chrome Victory Motorcycles raised decal on my black Dodge 3500 Mega Cab.  |

Pittsburgh, PA | I like the new badges. Meaty strong looking.. I never noticed how cartoonish the one we have now are.. Plus the wings is kind of a copy of HD & i dont see the point o fthe globe in the background. I know its sold all over but what isnt in a global economy? And for me most of all i like how they dont mention Polaris. i get people all the time who may not like polaris and then see their name under the Victory logo and said oh its made but the atv people.. I think Victory might gain a little more respect by Not being linked directly to a snow mobile and atv company. (I personally have nothing against Polaris) |

New York State | Polaris bought Indian for its traditional appeal.
Then they change the Logo of their Original MC company.
Makes no sense to me personaly.
The new badge is OK.
I liked the lighted logo on my 08 Vision and on my 11.
I won't change the badging on my bikes.
If I buy a new one I guess I will have get used to the new Badge or Just buy a Triumph T-Bird Storm . |

Tri Cities, WA | victory is making an attempt at the younger crowd now. By the more aggresive type badging. Wait till 2013 when you all will see more advertising geared toward the 35 and yonger group. plus the new paint schemes are going that way as well. |

New Bohemia, VA | VisionNWRider - 2012-06-27 9:03 PM victory is making an attempt at the younger crowd now. By the more aggresive type badging. Wait till 2013 when you all will see more advertising geared toward the 35 and yonger group. plus the new paint schemes are going that way as well. whacha you tryin' to say, Willis? I think they're stabbing at a spectrum. Victory is also pushing toward the 1%ers and will be in the movie "Dead in 5 Heartbeats" based off of Sonny Barger's book of the same name. Also, Son's of Anarchy will have in season 5 Victorys, and it is rumored Sonny's Vision will be in a few episodes. Of course we can all make of things what we want to make out of it. It is still the dollars that will doing the voting.... |

Broken Arrow, OK | I'll keep my lit badges thank you BUT I'm diggin' the new logo. I can see that puppy going large in some patches sewn on the back of my shirts, vests, etc. Cool looking logo to me, great for Vic clothing.
Why not 3D that thing and throw some LED's in it.

Stockton, California | okie vision - 2012-06-27 6:24 PM I'll keep my lit badges thank you BUT I'm diggin' the new logo.

I'm with you. Glad I have the lighted badges. But the new logo is a much cleaner design and will definitely stand out on clothing. Taking the "Polaris est 1954" was also a good design choice. |

Pittsburgh, PA | I wonder if the new badges would retro fit the older model of visions.. Like if your badge(s) burnt out ... |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | I would have preferred the old badge with the Polaris removed. It's like having a Harley that says AMF on it, we all know how well that went over. |

Flowery Branch Ga | I like them both for differnt reasons. The 1% is a small but good market to go after as people try to copy that look. Look at HD in recent years. It's no surprise that there will be Victory's on SOA. HA advises for the show, Sonny Barger is huge in HA, he and Arlen Ness are close friends and he in huge with Victory.

Central New York | I didn't buy my Vision for the badge, and never look at it. Could have fallen off 2k miles ago and I wouldn't even know. For me it's all about how them "wheels on the bike go round 'n round". What ever badge comes on my next Vision will be as insignificant as the one on my '08. |

Nebraska | Its all about selling brand appeal and selling tee shirts. The wife thought it looks stupid. My opinion is I cant see it when rolling so don't care either way. |

Beer Collins, Colorado (there is no fort) | Didn't care much for the old badge & the new one's not grabbing me much either. I always thought the Victory script was the best & classiest logo. I've had it on my '99 almost since day one and still think it's the best looking. The lighted badges are cool but a lighted script badge would be nicer-I'll have to start working on that-Brian

Cabot Arkansas | I think the old lighted badge looks better on the Vision.Glad I bought a new 2012.Especially since kevinx didn't mention anything about new quick release trunk and bigger bags or a BIGGER motor or air condtioning or new style motorcycle tires that last longer than car tires or the new Victory fully synthetic oil that goes 5 years or 50k miles between changes and new paint that never has to be washed or waxed !
Sorry I couldn't make myself stop  |
