Gainesville Fl Home of the Gators | WOW talk about a bunch of cool ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as car like I predicted that they would team with KTM, and we would see something more like the
X-bow. Front end of that thing looks like a RZR.
Here is the X-bow

New Bohemia, VA | the Vision is still the only one with superior weather protection. this is the first time I seen this, is this an email or snail mail?
oh, and I still like the Vision Tour over the Bagger...
I'd take the core and have it for my work scoot...

Northeast Ohio | It was an email. I got one either late last year or early this year too. The Vision 8-ball was in that survey.
There was also, what appeared to be, a picture of a can-am spyder in this survey as well. LOVE the core, LOVE the Cross Country Bagger, but absolutely HATE the Vision bagger. I also didn't like the fact that they reference the sound of a Harley in concept A and D. How about "it sounds like a traditional Victory"? |

Northeast Ohio | KevinX - Never heard of that one! Me likes it!
My boss has always wanted a T-Rex and that is the first thing I thought of.
Link to T-Rex: http://www.campagnamotors.com/
Do a YouTube search for them. They appear to be a blast, but quite pricey.

Rode around in a T-Rex turbo for a few days in Daytona back in 04. Talk about a hoot. Scary as can be on the freeway though. Nothing like looking up at the underside of a Bubba Truck |

yeah, if they go with the harley clone and harley sound so much for redefining the future. I like the different that Victory has, if they start being like the jap crap and cloning harley's they've sold out IMHO. |

Mount Vernon, WA United States | Vision Bagger or Cross Country Bagger. Tough choice. I like the extra storage on the lowers, but that's certainly not a deal breaker. 39 gallons of storage capacity is getting closer to "touring" and something that really interests me. 29 is closer to what I can setup on my sport bike with off-the-shelf soft bags and about what my V92C is now. Just not acceptable. These look like real deals. |

Look closer. Shock is a diagnal link under the seat, and the pivot is offset from the bottom line of the frame. |

Northeastern Penna. | I'll say one thing, if this is not a hoax,then the Vision bagger and Vision tour will undoubtedly,continue to be the greatest looking bike since sliced bread. Did you notice on the bagger, the rear seat is flat across,but you can't see the rear seat on the tour model. I like the 39 gal. of storage. |

I have to say though, $23,000 for simply adding a trunk and few extras seems a little pricey. Plus I find it hard to imagine that Victory would produce another tourer to compete on the same price point as the Vision. Just MHO.

Were they asking your opinion on your likes and dislikes of each model or was it simply: "We're thinking about doing some of these"? |

San Antonio, TX | I would love to be able to remove the back end of my Vision and put on the Vision Bagger bags. If they are like the XC bags, they would hold more and be more functional.
It would be nice to keep the V tail light on the Vision Bagger.
I like the idea of a quick release removable trunk.
Other than that I would keep my 2008 Vision rather then buy any new listed.

Northeast Ohio | For the single bike pics, it was a 4 or 5 answer selection. Something like definitely would buy, probably, might, maybe, no. On the page the that would have two bikes it would ask me if I liked left more than right, right more than left, neutral, not interested.
Also, there was a question or two around my interest in a 799cc-1200cc bike. |

San Antonio, TX | On the Sportser type bike that is concept bike "C", why in Gods green earth would I want a Victory with Push Rods?
I wish they listed prices on the A and B bikes. I have never had a water cooled bike but it might be nice to run around town on. I would want detachable bags that could fit a full sized laptop in and back rack that can be used to tie down a 12" Pizza.
Right now I pick up my Monday night pizza on the Vision and put it on the back seat. I have to remove the Utopia Backrest and sit about two inches forward on the seat but it is not a long drive home.

New Bohemia, VA | I'm going to say that the bagger Vision has some trade off, one aero's and two weight when loaded. I think with those, it'll handle very good as a motorcycle, but will lose some of its Visionaire...
I'll keep my Vision until they pry the throttle from my cold dead hand... |

Fort Myers, FL United States | I like the XC, but I'd stay with the Vision. More storage would be great. If some tweaking can be done without compromising the styling, I'd be all for it. |

LaPorte,Tx. | With the creation of the On Road Div. at Polaris, I'm sure a highway vehicle with more than two wheels is in the future. This will be big for the company as motorcycle riders age and may feel they can't handle motorcycle, but still want to be involved in the sport. For big city commuting everyday, some people buy the Smart Car, the Smart Person, would buy one of these!
There is no doubt the larger motors are in the future, on all the bikes. 116 cu in Vision would be sweet.
The Core bike was at Rapid City this year during Sturgis. The one in this picture is a lot different in that it is road ready with mirrors, turn signals, rear suspension, front fender, plus the exhaust on the right side. If sold, this will be a rocket ship.
The loaded XC is a Victory Ultra Classic. It will sell a lot.
The Vision Bagger is not for me.
Last year at the AVR I was shown one of the motors shown in the A, B, C concept bikes. This year at Sturgis, in a discussion with Victory, they indicated that project had been slowed due to project funding...but it will be moved forward in the future, maybe soon. |

Fountain Inn, SC United States | That's what I like about the people on this site. There's hardly any Victory bashing when it comes to viewing new styles/ideas. Sure, there's conflicting opinion, but that's fine. That's one of the reasons Victory chose us for posting photos of unveiling new models at the dealer meeting. As for the survey email, I for one appreciate that Victory is seeking out opinion. Some of the options they give may be beyond what they really intend to offer but they use them to identify extremes. Just saying thanks for your thoughtful opinions. I'm sure Victory is reading this thread and taking notes.
my take:
1. I'd love to see more storage on the Vision but not at the expense of sacrificing its lines. I'm sure the design team already has come up with a couple solutions.
2. I would buy a XC Bagger and lower it like the Ness custom at the AVR.
3. I would love to have a CORE if it had the swing arm kevinx believe is there!!!!! |

San Antonio, TX | It is a silly thing but it bugs me that Concept "H" says 106 ci and 1638 cc.
100 ci is 1638 cc
106 ci is 1732 cc
Sorry, it just messes with my head every time I see it. |

| I have been hearing rumors the 2011 Cross Country would offer a trunk. I figure by 2011 lots of folks who have already purchased one will have figured a way to mount an aftermarket or HD trunk, it just makes sense. Even if you bought a CC, new HD trunk w/hardware and had someone fabricate a mount you would only be at around $19500. So thats a real expensive trunk and lowers.
I think the Vission bagger is a bad idea, although I think the trunk on the bagger looks nicer than the current Vision trunk (just the trunk, not the mount). You lose the destinctive Vision V brakelite on the bagger. |

Fountain Inn, SC United States | When talking with Victory, they told me a trunk (tourpack) was already developed and would be offered for the XC/XR as an accessory. |

Northeastern Penna. | Bring on the Vision Bagger! I've test rode the XC, but the Vision, is hands down, a much better ride.
Having said that, improve the Vision with bigger side bags, that's the missing link. |
