Default Victory Vision v. Road Glide

Well, now, before we get all grouchy.... I own a vision, and am looking to buy a road glide. I like both. They each have great qualities.

I'm afraid I am spoiled now by the comfort,wind protection, and bells-and-whistles of the Vision. But, I miss the Harley vibe.

I am trying to get both in my garage, but that is expensive. I have no money, and no fear.... so I may be able to pull it off. Otherwise, I am going to have to pick one.

I thought some people may enjoy pictures of them next to each other to get a better idea of the comparison. It will take a lot of cash to get the road glide--road worthy. I may wait for 2011 models now so that cash is at least on the newest ones. I am hoping for an Ultra Roady....with a power windshield!!!

That's a beautiful Vision.

I like my Road glide a bunch, but I would consider adding a Vision to the stable at some point. I like to be different...one reason I have a road glide.

I hate the Victory motor........it just doesn't look right to me......the Vision looks like something George Jetson would ride, no me gusta either.......this is just my opinion.....stick with the RoadGlide, you'll be happier in the long run.

+1 and everyone has an opinion and personally to me mind you, the Vision looks like something from a Jetson cartoon and I'll reserve further opinionated comments. Best of luck on a new RG though. Great bikes, I've owned two.

I know it's all about personal taste but, I hate the look of the vision. Reminds me of the Judge Dredd bike. I never liked the Road Glide although it's growing on me. If I had to pick between the 2 it would be the Road Glide without hesitation.
