Brighton, TN | maddog, i may have to go reference my service manual which has a good breakdown of the VIN. I don't know for sure, but other commentary has been that each bike is numbered consecutively independent of model.
Example. Vegas rolls off assembly line first, it gets 0001, then a vision 0002, kingpin 0003, vision 0004, hammer 0005 etc.
I am unsure why that would be an unattainable number, if I remember correctly a GM vehicle used to roll of the assembly line every 15 minutes or less. The Visions are a decently hot commodity at the moment. Overtime pays well, as well as MSRP. |

LaPorte,Tx. | When the ignition switch recall came out, all produced Visions to that date had to have the recall, and that number was approximately 1600. I've been told the last four numbers on the VIN number is the total number of Victory bikes produced for the year. Someone may have a better explaination. |

I'll buy that. I bet Visions number less than 2K. Victory sure aint GM. Tour the plant and you'll see what I mean. Its very clean and well organized. But 7,000 Visions would seem impossible to obtain. Unless they have some kind of shrinky Dink machine and have elves come in at night. |

LaPorte,Tx. | Firehawk, it is nice to look at the data and do sorting a filtering. Interesting to see the closest Vins are six apart. Maybe with more data we could see if Visions come off the line back to back. Thanks for the info. |

I read in a financial site, in july, that pre orders were around 3500. That wasnt sold units, just dealer orders. |

Linwood, MI | VIN 3221 in Bay City, MI.
Purchased from Hickey's Black Metal Choppers. I have no idea about build sheet info (or even where to find the build sheet...) but it waited patiently all winter long for me to finally bring it home on 23 May 08.  |

LaPorte,Tx. | Rebel, on mine there was a sheet of paper in with the manual package, that may show the build date. Based on my VIN number of 3994, I would say yours was built around the first week of Nov. 2007. |

The Victory Assembly line is able to put out about 10,000 bikes per year single shift. The orginal line had a max. capacity of 28 bikes per day per shift and the new line (the one running today) is at least 50% faster than the old line(I have not seen it with the Vision running). This should be the year that Victory sells over 10,000 units or $150 million in Unit sales. |

Maple Park, IL | Not sure if this helps or not. I looked a the Vin. # of 5 different yr vic and noticed a 3 in the same location on all of them. The last 7 digits 1) 99- 3000018 2) 99- 3003079 3) 02- 3002027 4) 03- 3003649 and 5) 08- 3007885. If you think about it , the number would have to be per model year not the total number of unit made in a year. Or there would be a possibity of the same number coming up twice for the same model year. Either way it is a high number which states the Victory line is selling well and this should be the 6th straight year of increased sales. |
