FINALLY!!!  I got my new Victory Vision Tour Premium yesterday.  I have been waiting four months for the state of Texas to complete their dealer licensing process so Stokers of Dallas could sell Victory’s again. I bought the first Vision that Strokers of Dallas got as a new Victory dealer.

WOW after only 150 miles it is everything and more than I thought it would be.  This bike is simply the best engineered touring bike on the market today. The more you ride it the more things you realize the design team thought about and got right. The comfort is just amazing. The aerodynamics and weather protection is the best of any bike on the market. The handling is in the class of a sport bike. The electronics are really nice, especially the iPod integration. The Vision is pure sex when lit up at night. The dash, side badges, headlights and rear tail lights are really cool and functional.

I have never owned anything that gets as much attention as this bike gets. People are speeding up or slowing down to be alongside you to get a better look at the bike (I know it isn’t me). You draw a crowd at every place you stop. At every stop light people are rolling down their windows and asking you questions and telling you how cool the bike is. It gets tiring after awhile.

With all the test rides, research and now riding my own Vision I could write a essay on all the great things about this bike but if you haven’t ridden this bike yet you have got to throw a leg over one and ride it and you will be hooked.

My CB and XM radio will be in this week as well as the foot pegs and saddle bag liners and cargo nets. I ordered the InvisiGard vinyl protection kit for the Vision and will have it installed this week. I also have the Zumo 550 bracket coming from Arizona Victory to mount my Zumo 550. The next thing to order is the Utopia backrest.

My goal is to put 20,000 miles on my Vision by the end of this calendar year.  

DesertJim - 2008-03-03 10:21 AM Congrats! Beer for our horses!! At least you were patient and looked forward to the arrival unlike the whinny, cryin 29 Palms Buknknd. Surprised he didn't repost all of his burpin comments on your behalf. It is real satisfying when you can mount that baby and realize what others have posted is the "real deal" the one thing you mentioned I still am in awe of is that it handles like a sport bike! BTW where is Carrollton, TX?

Thanks DesertJim! Carrollton is just north of Dallas and part of the Dallas metroplex. My house if about 18 miles north of the center of downtown Dallas.

flint350 - 2008-03-03 3:21 PM I used to live in Carrollton back in the late 80's when it was the far out suburbs of Dallas (very near the intersection of Josey Ln and Hebron Pkwy). Back then, I could just leave home and within 10 minutes be on some of the nicest rural roads for bike riding around the area. By now, I imagine its pretty developed out there and well beyond. Oops, I think I just "age qualified" myself a bit.

I live by Josey Ln and Keller Springs which is only 4 miles south of where you lived. Today you have to ride about 20 minutes to get to the nice country roads.

I got to ride my Vision some more this evening and this bike is off the charts. I can’t get over the level of comfort. The Vision is in a class all by its self. The handling is so incredible it makes you giddy. It is so intuitive and acts like it is on rails. I have never ridden a bike that is so sure footed. The suspension is the best I have experienced on a bike. The aerodynamics is amazing and the heated seats and hand grips made all the difference in the 50 degree weather we had tonight. The stereo and electronics keeps you rockin like I have never done on a bike before and the performance is solid and smooth.
