Your main mistake was telling people on a Harley forum that you think a Victory is so much better than your Ultra.

With a 106 cubic inch standard engine, five year warranty, you guys are right. It isn't a Harley. I have a PGR friend with two Vics, the last one being a Vision, and he loves them both.

One thing I noticed, when you are sitting on it, you cannot see the road in front of you for at least 20 feet. Not a problem on the open road, but sitting at a stop light with a car in front, you have no idea what the next few feet of highway will be--pot holes, junk in the road, etc.

My buddy also isn't getting very good gas mileage.

I have nothing bad to say about someones choice of a motorcycle, but my choice is HD. I will own nothing else. To me there is no better package for all around style, comfort, class, and dependability. HD is the American icon of motorcycles, for good reason. Just imagine yourself on a BMW, with a pocket protector and a slide rule.

Bottom line is it's your money not mine.
+1 Looks like a Moped on steroids

Did you get a free copy of Judge Dred! There are some folks that I know who bought one, said it is comfortable but they still that it was a mistake! Good luck...

If a Victory Vision is what you have your heart set on then go for it. At the end of life who wants to set around and say, “Darn, I wish that I had just done this or that.” Grab whatever color balloon strikes your fancy and run with it.

Anyone notice that Utra ED hasn't been back since he lowered the downriggers and started trolling?

BTW, Doesn’t ED stand for Erectile Dysfunction? Oh well, I completely agree that ED should ride whatever he wants and more power to him. Plus the whole ED problem won’t be much of a problem riding a Vision.

If he kept the Harley, he’d definitely have to get that ED problem fixed and in tip top working order!
