Victory Vision 7 Months, 1 Week ago

Took out the Vision tour Saturday. Here is my review.

When you sit on the bike it pops right up as if it weighs nothing
Seat is very comfortable
Leg room is endless. No need for highway pegs
Bike sounds great just sitting at idle
Gauge layout is very nice. Speedo can be switched from MPH to KPH
Electric windshield is very nice option
Switch layout is good

Ride is comfortable and smooth
Power is very good from the 106ci twin. Torque is same or bit less than the roadie
6 speed great addition

Stereo is awsome

Not much to dislike about this bike really. Only thing i can think of is the side bags are so small only wifes purse would fit in it.
Styling is one of those love it or leave it types

If you are thinking of trying one out I do not recommend trying to compare it to a goldwing because it will loose hands down.
But if you compare it to the Ultra Classic you would be in the ball park.

I can say this because I have owned both.
