Default BIG Mistake

My wife and I rode our 2008 Ultra Classic (105th Anniversary Edition #1081 of 7000) to Washington, D.C. this year for "Rolling Thunder". While we were in D.C., I had the opportunity to see a 2009 Victory Vision. Once we retuned home, I could not get the Victory Vision out of my mind. Last week we rode to the our local Victory dealership. After a closer look at the Vision, I have decided to sell the Ultra Classic and get the Vision. If anyone is interested in an 08 Ultra, which is still under factory warranty and only has 6,370 miles on it, email me at Pears2@aol.com for pictures and complete details. (NO TRADES)

Owning and riding a Vision is like making love to a fat girl, it may be a good ride but you don't want your friends to see you doing it. seriously, that Vision is just too radical for me.. Good luck with your choice

IMO the Vision(and what a vision it is....) has to be one of the ugliest bikes I have ever seen. Looks like something that was designed as a joke to see who'd buy it. Makes a GW look like a beauty queen.

But good luck to you.

I think they look ok, but when its all said and done.... the only thing that matters is YOUR opinion.

i second that one pork-chop. Personally I'd never own a Vision. Being a Victory owner will always remain a possibility, but the Vision will never find its way to my garage... but to each their own. Good luck with the sale and purchase of the Vision.
