Just finished up the end of my first year with my 2011 vision completing a trip from Orlando out to California, then through some of our national parks and back. A little over 6000 miles in 15 days and the Vision ran perfectly.
No doubt the best money I ever spent on the purchase of a motorcycle. Can't say enough good things about how it handled and was comfortable the entire trip.

Arkainzeye, We outlawed turn signals as we got tired of 80 year old drivers and tourists putting them on 10 miles before the turn!

Welcome to the secret world of Vision. I hope you will post some pics and some stories from your trip. I'm still playing my trip to cali and back in my mind, across the Neveda Sierra's, the Loneliest road in American, the Rockies, and the never ending sweltering highway of Kansas.

Here are are few pics from the trip. 3 of us started from Orlando and then a friend joined in from Slidel, LA. We tried to get in 500+ miles a day and still leave time to see everything we wanted to see. A few things we had to pass on. We had the wives fly in to Las Vegas and join us for the ride through Zion, Bryce Canyon, the north and south rims of the Grand Canyon and then up the Million Dollar Hwy to Montrose and over to Durango. The girls then flew home from Colorado Springs and we rode up Pikes Peak. 26 degrees at the top that day so we didn't stay long but got to check that one off the list as well. There was never a bad day riding except for getting caught in a sandstorm near 4 Corners with 70 mph gusts. Total brown out and lots of sand fingers had formed on the hwy that you couldn't see til you hit them. That was pretty exciting! Hope you enjoy the pics.
