| Hey all, been reading many post for about a month, never posted. This site is dangerous, got to many ideas from everyone. From Mass. Have an 08 midnight cherry Vision. Bike is totally stripped down naked right now, Just had bike lowered 2", shorter kickstand, skid plate, inner bags cut to accomodate lowering, Front lights blacked out, rear lights black cherry, hawg wired stereo (all from HMD) installed D&D slash cut pipes, Lloyds cams, intake system, fuel controller, idle air valve, Muth turn signals, Ness low seat, chrome fairing, side cover, rear tip overs, and rear valence, custom finned engine covers, custom brake and clutch covers, and in the process of having air brushed. All this in the last 2 months. Ya think I'm excited for spring time or what! Will post pictures if I can put it all together again. Please don't give me any more ideas, it's not even January yet. |

Fostoria Ohio USA | Newbie on this forum but have been riding since 1970 and once owned a 2004 Kingpin. I just got back to Victory last Friday when I traded in another make & model for a new 2012 Cross Country in the Red & Silver two-tone. Five days and over 200 miles into owning this bike all I can say is Sweeeeet!! |

Hey, neighbor! I'm also a new Victory rider (2012 Vision, Sunset Red) and I'm also in North FL. Been riding all my life and am fortunate to own a few other really nice rides (including 1 brand X).
I live in Ferrnandina Beach, maybe we can meet up some time. Also looking forward to catching up with as many others as I can as we are out enjoying the ride. Happy Thanksgiving to all!  |

| Hey Everyone, Whalebone here I am new to this forum I just bough g it home so 2011 Vision today and I am having a little work done on it before I bring it home. I will pick it up this weekend and I will start wearing it out then. It was sold to me as a new bike even though it is a 2011. This is somewhere around my 38th bike I have been riding since the early 1970's/ I traded in my 2007 Vstrom on the Vision. I have slowed down a little I only keep one or two bikes at a time anymore.
I live on Camano Island in Northwest Washington, I enjoy motorcycles, live music, fresh air and good food.
Hope to see you on the road

| hello all, new member here. I took delivery of my 13 XC in Sunset Red over the weekend and put a quick 200 miles on her. I really love this bike, everything and more I could ever want. I also own a 2011 Yamaha Stryker that I have totally customized. The great thing about this bike is it has everything so I doubt I'll be doing much. |

The information on your site and from friends who won't ride else but a Victory have convinced me to put an offer on a 2007 Kingpin.
Look forward to sharing my insights on my rides using my Kingpin.
Thanks again for your site.
Keep up the great work. |

Batavia, IL | Hi all, just registered on the site. Bought a 2013 Vision yesterday in black. Traded my 08 Suzuki C109. I live in the far west burbs of Chicago so riding is still a few weeks away. Actually having the bike trailered to me, still too much salt on the roads. I am really looking forward to riding this bike. I sit on it and it's as though it was built for me. I have been reading about this thing for a year, hope it lives up to the praise that it gets. |

Manchester, CT | I too am new to the site as well as to Victory. I was originally looking to purchase a HD Ultra Glide. My cousin just happened to be at the Victory dealer purchasing 2 new Yamaha jet skis (Dealership - motorcycles, quads and jet skis). We were going to meet at the dealership and then head out to a Harley dealer to see what kind of deal I could get. Thanks to my cousins advise, I checked out the Victory Cross Country and Vision. It took me all of 15 minutes to change my mind. That day I put a deposit on a 2013 Vision. My bike came in last week and the dealer is waiting on the chrome options I ordered along with the trunk rack, luggage liners, airhorn and GPS.
I can't wait for the weather to cooperate so I can take the bike out on its maiden voyage. If there are any riders that live in the Hartford CT area please let me know. |
