Akron Ohio area | The good news is that Victory brought back the availability of having an HID headlight on the Vision. The bad news is that it will add $1,749.99 to the cost.

| I love the HID on mine but I don't think I would spend $2k for it. |

Peru, IN | Black is now the most expensive color (with white being the cheapest and orange in the middle). Huh? $1800 for the HID? $800 for black brake/shifter levers? $1500 for GPS? I'm hoping one of their webmasters is just having some fun (before they get fired). |

Manchester, CT | Maybe the Vision price increase is a marketing/sales ploy to move potential buyers to XCx |

| Did anybody else notice that they carried over the same spec error they made last year? They're showing the rear suspension travel as 3.65" which is the spec for the short shock on the Ness. The Tour has 4.7". I noticed it last year so I checked the parts list and they're still showing two different shocks and the Tour one specified is the same as previous years when they spec'd the travel at 4.7". Looks like its the same error.

Peru, IN | Not surprising since nothing else has changed on the Vision. Nothing to update, nothing to proofread. |

| Wow, $500 for the trunk carpet? These numbers MUST be misprints! |

Peru, IN | And $1800 for the HID. Either a misprint or the (soon to be unemployed) webmaster was having some fun. |

Manchester, CT | Having spent quite a bit of time being involved with product dev and management, the first tell tale sign of a product going end of life is no enhancements to that product. Re-introducing HID as option moot when it comes to drawing new buyers to the Vision. No matter what happens, my love for my Vision will never wane...what it will do is increase the pleasure of owning a very unique and awesome ride! |

Peru, IN | I love my Vision, too, but if it was no longer available (and I was ready for another bike), I'd buy a XCT. Not the same by any means, but a close 2nd. |

Manchester, CT | Hey Monkeyman....+1. One of the things I would liked changed on the XC would be design of the lower semi fairings.
Sorry guys..not trying to redirect this thread to be a XC discussion |

| When it comes time to buy a replacement for my Vision, and they are no longer made, I will likely opt for a Road Glide Ultra or a BMW 1600GT. I'm not really a fan of the X bikes....

Peru, IN | I stole the salesmans demo XCT this morning while waiting on my bike at the dealer (they were supposed to align the belt but didn't get around to it). At the very least, it would need a backrest and handlebars. I rode it about 30 miles and it wasn't bad but still didn't compare to my Vision. It had that short (tinted) Klock Werks flip windscreen. Not bad.
I can't handle the riding position of the BMW but the RGU was on my short list last fall. Still a nice bike. We'll see what Harley does with them when (if?) they reintroduce them in '15. |

Yes, but due to factors like higher taxation, perhaps import duties, tarrifs, employment taxes, higher cost of doing business or whatever, customarily it has been the practice to charge more in Canada. I hate to be an ignoranus, lol, but historically things have always been more expensive in Canada and it was always blamed on the value of the dollar. Not so sure anymore! |

Broken Arrow, OK | I'm elated that besides a new color, my 2011 has all the goodies, even more so, than the 2014. Won't be needing an upgrade this year!!! |

| If you watch the 2014 line up promo video for touring, the Vision and XCT are discussed. The Vision is always up front the XCT behind it. If I saw the Video and didn't know much about Victory, I would assume the Vision was the preferred model due to handling and performance, while the XCT if more for longer distance rides due to the extra storage. I was very surprised how much the Vision was in the add. |
