I agree with the looks, however I went for a test ride on it, and I thought it was a pretty sweet ride.... Quiet, quick, and comfortable. My wife really liked that back seat...

Now we know "focus groups" don't always work. First off who was there target audience? Musta been polled at a Trekkie convention.

Sorry to be so critical this bike has alot of cool features and I actually wanted to like it. IMHO their attempt to find a nitch resulted in no nitch at all just an unsuccessful homalgamation of unattractive motorcycles.

Give Victory a brake! I don't think they were trying to win us over when they designed the Vision. I know a few who ride Wings and they arn't exactly impressed with what we ride. To each his own. But its still not a Harley!
