mansfield, MA United States | I will have close to 100K on my 2011 this year and my warranty will be up in October. Any word on a new design on the Vision. This is my 2nd Vision and as much as I love the bike its growing old on me. My other bike is a Indian chieftain. i love the chieftain and if they don?t change the Vision my next bike could be a road master. But i would still like to have both a Vic and indian.

I'm shocked too, but in all fairness I rarely ever see any Vics at all. If Vic is going to release new stuff this year, they should start some hype up no later than Jun. Hard to believe they have all kinds of new stuff in development for 16 with no spy photos or stories leaking out yet. Awful quiet..... |

Iowa | Last year they redesigned and enlarged the factory. This year they bought a new factory down south and all ATVs will be built there. spirit Lake will be for bikes. They also added a new paint shop. I found this out at a meeting with our local rep. She said be ready. Big changes are coming. Then she began asking what the next generation Vision should upgrade. Very interesting stuff. |

Albuquerque NM | In thinking about it, I wouldn't doubt that the vision will probably be replaced with a bike that has a more conventional look and is designed to compete head to head with the street glide. Think of a cross bike with a fixed fairing. Again I hope they update what many of us believe is the best bike on the road, rather taking a step back to take a swing at a lesser bike. But the company also has to make money on them, and leather clad orthodontists are willing to drop some cash. |

Wouldn't that be something? That would "rock" the motorcycle world. A motorcycle manufacturer selling a motorcycle with a car tire.....

Bancroft Ontario, Canada | I love my 09 premium tour
The vision is the best victory bike out there....no wind in the face or buffeting,,,,handles like a sport bike....we have to have a new upgraded version
Probably the best touring bike one can buy...i ride with goldwings etc
Still draws the crowd onlookers like no other bike..
My only wishes are.....LED's/HID's....more rear lights...signal lights in rear view mirrors....increased rear luggage space.....front headlight module should be a simple bolt on module that can be accessed easily for bulb replacement etc....bring back the chrome non round handle bars
Hope we see a new one..... |

Pittsburgh, PA | There are at least 3 vision running in the North Hills of Pittsburgh that I know of. Arkainzeye just happens to be from the other side of town. The only refinement that I would want is less noise from the speaker covers and trunk and a tighter factory fit of those pieces. I have seen more and more on the used market and if they start going cheap enough, I'll buy another and have one set up as a street and the other as the tour. In fact I just looked at ebay for a new side stand rubber pad and noticed that there are 17 listed for sale. |

Jasper, MO | My Goldwing riding buddies have been expecting a new Goldwing for at least 5 years now. Some have been looking for the "new Goldwing" longer than that. Instead, they got a restyle that seems to mimic the Vision's styling cues, and a trunkless "street" version to mimic the Vision Street (the F6B), they are still the same old Goldwing that Honda has been peddling since 2001. And, people still swear they would have nothing but a Goldwing and keep buying the new ones.
These "where is the new Vision" threads amuse me. We already have one of the best touring bikes made anywhere. Honda hasn't significantly updated the Goldwing since 2001. The Vision has only been around since 2008.
Unless somebody does something really radical to improve the Vision, I'm keeping my 2008.

Orlando, FL | Agree with redbudd. The vision will be here like the Goldwing with only minor improvements. |

mansfield, MA United States | I was thinking more like a liquid cooled engine and bigger bags. Don't get me wrong I love my vision. I am just ready for a change. I also love my Indian. And the roadmaster looks better and better every day. I do a lot of long rides with some over 1000-1100 miles a day. and the Vision eats the miles up. I have been riding a Vision for almost 8 years now with no real changes other then ABS and color. I have about 150000 miles riding a Vision. It would just be nice to not pay $20K for the same bike I have been riding. But then again HD riders have been doing that for a lot longer |

Pillager, MN | I cornered a guy working the booth at the Minneapolis Motorcycle show this winter and he said, "don't talk to me, I'm a dealer...talk to that guy over there...he's the Vision guy". So I went over and accosted him, telling him that it is time to update the Vision. I agree with most guys in this thread, I LOVE my Vision, but it's time for some "tweaks". I would love to see slightly larger bags (or at least a better opening for loading them), maybe two models with GPS, HID, upgraded stereo, etc. on the "premium" one...stuff like that.
So, anyway...this guy who is supposed to be the Vision guy says to me, "changes to the Vision in 2016". Really, that's what he said. I have no idea if it's true, or what he meant by "changes", but I think there's at least some kind of update coming.
If they do come with some updates, I would seriously consider updating...but I need an excuse to trade. Why would I trade my 2011 (that has lots of stuff that they stripped off in 2012) for a new Vision with less equipment? |

West Salem, WI United States | I would simply want better fit and finish eliminating the trunk rattle and minor squeaks of the plastic, standard bluetooth, keyless ignition and LED lighting. Thats it. Everything else is fine in my opinion. YMMV :-) |

| I would love to see stereo, and fit & finish upgrades. LED lighting would be awesome. I love the look and feel of my 2012 vision, just a few tweaks and we could all be HAPPY! |

Georgia | I was at a Indian Demo event in November and the Polaris Rep told me that all of the victory's were getting upgrades next year, specifically the infotainment systems, he said the 2015 magnum already had the upgraded infotainment ie built in bluetooth. He did not give any specifics on cosmetic changes though. |

Any rumors of a new Vision for 2016?
