| Yes I was up set so I went to victory's web page and clicked on vision then I clicked on reviews. Now you can write what you think and you can give them ratings. It only takes as long as you want to tell them off. I felt good after I gave them mine 2 cents worth. All so told them what I think they should do to the bike. Reviews |

Pittsburgh, PA | Considering its a website for selling a product. And a model that isn't their top selling unit
.. I can maybe see why they don't want to post anything that could possibly decrease any potential sales
. I don't blame them. . Its not a newspaper... |

Bainville, & Mesa, AZ, MT | If you are so unhappy with the new Vision's, why do you still own one? I am sure HD would be willing to sell you a new bike.
Personally I hope they don't change the Vision much, I kind of like its unique styling both from the front and back. If they change up the bags more than likely they will loose that character. I would hate to see it looking like just another bike. |

Broken Arrow, OK | +1
the fact they remain basically unchanged appeals to me. If I was so upset about them remaining the same, I wouldn't own the one I have. |

| DSmith - 2014-07-31 6:28 AM If you are so unhappy with the new Vision's, why do you still own one? .... I heald out hoping they would upgrade it, but that does not appear to be the case. Don't think I am not reviewing the alternatives. If the F6B was made in the USA, I would have already switched. |

Monrovia, Ca | I am going to guess that your review was not really a review of your current Vision, but more of a rant about what you expected for2015. |

| I posted this on the review of the vision.
I bought this new from Shoals Outdoor Sports in AL. Excellent experience at Shoals. I love the bike. I have 33K miles on it. I get around 45-50MPG on the highway (The estimated MPG computer is about 3MPG high). I've had both ABS sensors go out at different times, the only problem I've had. This bike has not changed in quiet some time. Improvements are need for storage and the lights need upgrading to LED.

Manchester, CT | Per my report back on the Q&A Steve Mennetto held at the VMC national event a couple of weeks ago, reading between the lines, the Vision is what it is. He did share that Victory is hearing that riders want more storage and LED lights. He also went on to say, to do any redesign and the cost and time that takes, although not directly stated, its not happening. Quoting Steve, the Vision is polarizing...folks either love it or hate it.
On another note...just came back from the lobsterfest in Rockland, ME with 2 of my buds that ride Street Glides. My close friend hates the futuristic style which I'm sure tweaked him a little when folks kept coming over to the Vision and asking about it while at rest stops, gas stops, hotels and driving by with thumbs up. |

Sand Rock, AL United States | I love my Vision. more storage and lighting is reasonable to want. I'm not in the market , the Vision still meets my needs so I'm a content rider. Probably be in the market for something in 3 years or so.  |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | A plus is, if there is a newer engine for the entire lineup the Vision will get it too. Plus since the XC's uce the same instrument cluster, if they get an upgrade likely the Vision will also...... |

Pittsburgh, PA | As much as we love our visions. And I do love mine. Enough to get 2 of them.. my dealer doesn't even want to stock them.. so adding more storage and better radio and better lights with keeping the same styling probably isn't much of a selling point to dramatically increase sells to point of being worth the investment of time and money and possible changing what ever they would have to change either in product or assembly to justify this.. would I want to see something really cool added to it? Hell yeah. I would love to see LED lights as a headlight like HD does... I was wondering this the other day, we all read victory spend Years designing , developing and testing the vision... I would guess that's alot of $$$ ? Plus all the money it tooling "what ever" to produce something this amazing. It's obvious this isn't just a bolt on bike... so did they make any money on all of this investment ? Did they break even ? I wonder cause I rarely ever see a vision in most dealerships in go to.. not saying there is NEVER one. I just see way more of the other models in multi colors on the show room floor.. if this was truly a $$$ maker I would think dealers in my area would be having them on the floor.... ju st a thought. Not saying I'm right. |
