After reading the article I would say the Vision isn't even in the hunt, and the GW is faster. So what!

Think about what has happened in the last 30 years. All the Jap Mfgrs have had a go at the "tough" touring market. They are all gone except the GW, which has now left the shores of the US and will be gone eventually in my opinion. Harley was there in the beginning, and is still there, and the favorite in balance of all things considered. I think they made a mistake of choosing a CVO for the test. They should have used a loaded Ultra and their price argument would be gone. Great bike and one that has a "soul" and makes you feel good about it!
