wow nice bike

[sensemille]

the Victory Vision looks like a high class futuristic bike compared to the ugly and cheap looking harley

[scoash1]

They should not even compare the two. This should be the Crossroads vs the Roadglide. I don't enen know if Harley makes a bike that is in the same class.

So it rattles at higher speeds? Sounds cheap. People buy Harleys for low rumble and a great sounding pushrod engine. Sounds like victory has an ATV or Skidoo product.

The vision looks like a big scooter. I'd be embarressed to be seen on it. The way victory is going they will never catch up to Harley Davidson.

guys stop me at the gas station .i show them the tipover and that freaks them out! sure its heavy, but it sill gets 45 mpg. It sets you apart from the hd guys

[doughboy984]

I would be embarressed to ride one. It looks like a big scooter. Have you seen the new 2012 Harley Davidsons?

[notasothrs]

There are none available in our area , can't seem to keep the Vision or the Cross Roads/Country in the showroom. I have an '09 and I ride with mostly Harley owners, they love to think they are giving me a hard time, till they are unable to keep up on the straights or in the curves, by the way that goes for the "new" (LOL) 103 as well. Two of my friends have new Road Glides with the 103 it just as loud, clunky, unreliable, and unable to keep up as the 96ci. Sorry Harley.

Well, there you have it. The H-D Road Glide edges out the big "VIC". I guess that's why they still have '09 models on the floor with $ 3,000.00 rebates at your favorite Polaris Dealer !!

Thanks for the well presented comparision.

Ive got an 09, that I am seriously considering trading up to a 2011, but am waiting on the 2012s to roll out to see what they offer for the Vision. Rumor it will be "redesigned" but who knows...guess we will see on the 26th. It is one amazing bike, and I can attest that the tip over protection works as advertised!

I rode beside one of these things in a rally over the weekend, thought the Starship Enterprise had pulled up. It's a love it or hate it for sure, no middle ground here. I can't imagine they'll sell many.
