Ennis, Tx | I can't say hate but improvements is the words I would use...
The only thing that doesn't work properly or function properly is the steering lock......most confounded thing to work....
The blinkers are sweet -- they're self cancelling... as they shut off after so many rotations of the wheels...
The saddles could be a little bigger and the opening a little larger... Trunk & saddles are OK for a day or two trips after that the rest in the pack...
The heated seat switches should be on the console with the rest of the switches... Reaching back behind ya to turn on/off/adjust with gloves on is a pain......that and they get turn on/off accidently...
The HEAT from the right side of the motor on a HOT day.... I don't have the lowers yet...
One thing for sure - most of the things I listed above I knew from reading on this forums from y'all before I bought our VV and yet I still bought her and ride the hell-out-of-her with a smile from ear to ear...

| I have the wiring kit installed for the trunk lights to work with the brake and turn signals, is a terrific safety feature should be standard. Take a look at the sequential turn and brake signal wiring kit for the lower V lights its on the VMC forum, looks terrific and should be standard. Need to put the newer Ipod cable somewhere else, the black box and the ipod make that space completely useless now. I agree on making GPS standard, mine came with reverse and its a nice feature to have when you have just a little incline and need a little assist. They need to prewire the headsets and have the CB as standard like (should I say it, HD). Otherwise it is the best bike I ever owned and took a long trip in. I do hope they come out with retrofit side bags some day though. |

, FL United States | The saddle bags too small.
Changing out the battery is a little time consuming.
I have a blown headlight that needs replaced. |

| +1 on the shaft drive BUT am starting to get used to the belt. Hate the chirp that comes occasionally - it is just embarrassing.
Neutral -where is it? Sometimes I need a compass and a map to find neutral ( '08 model) . I have just held in the clutch on occasion. |

| 1. Mirrors.....I know what my hands look like.
2. Saddlebags are too small
3. Radio......and I use that term very loosely!
4. A $21K motorcycle should come equipped with an intercom as standard equipment.....not part of an $800 CB radio that I will never use!
5. Last but not least,my MOST hated thing about this bike- the Linked Brake system!!!!! |

#3 Heat from the exhaust being trapped. They should have test road before building.
The Vision was one of the most heavily tested platforms of motorcycles when compared to most builders. Vic did their homework on this one, but with all things perfection takes time and $$$$. The next Vision will be even more refined and hopefully equally as awesome. |

Lynchburg Virginia | I wouldn't say hate but I have found it quite bothersome to be low on fuel, and my fuel range is replaced by another low fuel warning. The yellow gas pump is all I need. In the old days all we had was an odometer. If I am down to my last 40 miles and its 29 miles to my next planned fuel stop, don't keep flashing LOW FUEL! I know it already! I know everyone will say, Don,t wait so long to refuel! O.K.!! I know that too!!

Dallas, Texas | I don't "hate" anything, really, but IMHO, the gas filler neck issue is the biggest "stubbed toe engineering" of it all. Saddlebags, radio, mirrors, and such, are issues, don't get me wrong, but every motorcycle has to be filled with gas, many times over. Truly, I believe, it is one of the most dangerous parts of motorcycling, even though it seems like it doesn't go wrong very often. Between the vapors and flammability, along with standing over, or even slightly to the side, a rider can be in a great amount of peril, each time they fill up. Then to add "be careful, don't bend the neck" or the gas cap doesn't fit properly, then gas leaks, vapors trap under the cover door, and/or might run down on your leg. That really is ridiculous when you think about it. But again, IMHO. |

Charleston, SC United States | Overall I have been VERY pleased with my 2009 Vision. After 55,000 miles I have had no major problems. Small problems include a voltage regulator that fried 2 batteries, a squirrely gear indicator, and sucky radio reception. What kind of a 'design professional' puts a radio antenna under an aluminum shield? DUH! My exterior antenna brings in FM but AM is still a loss. They could have left out that goofy looking center headlight, the Vision is quirky enough without that. I am very happy with the moving windshield, a feature I never thought I would use. It's sweet to have when you hit a rain storm. Raise the windshield, lower the helmet face shield, and the rain is handled. |
