Motorcycle Touring: Victory 10th Anniversary Vision Tour
To mark its 10th anniversary this year, Minnesota-based Victory gave a handful of its Vision Tour bikes a makeover that includes chrome trimmings and billet wheels. The company also added a Garmin GPS system, an XM radio, a CB radio, and an intercom. Victory is limiting production of the anniversary model to 100 examples, priced at about $29,000.
Given the Vision Tour's length of nearly 9 feet and its dry weight of about 900 pounds, you might expect the bike to be a bit ungainly. But its 1,731 cc overhead-cam motor—with four valves per cylinder and dual throttle bodies—gives the bike plenty of power and agility. The 6-speed overdrive transmission enables the bike to amble casually along open roads, even at beyond-legal speeds.
The Vision's saddlebags are less spacious than they appear, but the trunk is cavernous; all told, the bike has a carrying capacity of 4 cubic feet.

New Bohemia, VA | I got this email too and think it is cool to know. But you know, going into this relationship with Victory and the Vision, was only from a few discussions with a very few folks. Its not like the Vision was hitting the world by storm and everyone had to have one of their own to include me. On the contrary. A lot of folks were laughing when the Vision came out are no longer laughing. I had not a clue what I was doing, I just wanted a comfortable ride, cool had nothing to do with it, but I'm glad it was part of the package. A report such as this put another stack in favor of Victory, and we'll start seeing more Visions on the road and we won't be unique any more, but many of will have been first. I own a Classic Vision!

Richmond, Virginia | Is it just me or is this review/story OLD NEWS, granted its always nice to hear good things but the Vision 10th has already been reviewed by pretty much everyone "important", so while great, I give this story a 3 on the snooze of importance scale. | |
