I'm just curious who has an original 2008 purchase in 2007 through the fall of 2008.

I know that Cool Hand Luke and I got ours on November 17 2007 and we're still original owners.  anyone else?

December 17, 2007 79K and counting. Still get ask if it's new, a Harley or some other make, does it come like that. Commenrs like it looks like a spaceship, looks like something from the future, and it must ride like a Cadillac.

I Have 2008 Vision purchased in 2008 May time frame low miles as I can't ride often or far but I love it. I am taking it to Sturgis this so that will be my first longer trip.

Bought mine in July 2008 as a Street but recently put a trunk on it. Mine is mostly garaged with only 13,000 miles being that I work a lot and little time to ride but I love this machine. Can you believe that it still has the original tires with still plenty of thread!

Ride safe.

I had the dimples and truly wished I never had them replaced under warranty.  The sad thing was it sat at the dealer for several weeks "waiting" for Victory's decision to replace them.  I called bunk and they gave me back my bike just prior to the 4th of July weekend in 2008.  I did get the new doors later in the year.  I lost about 2,000 miles because of them dimples....
