I've heard from a lot of recovering Ultra Classic and Goldwing riders, but I'm curious if there are any K1200LT riders out there that have made the jump over to the ViVi.

I did the Vision demo ride several months ago, so I'm officially screwed! I'm now in the process of selling the Harley and the Beemer to get the Vision.

I test drove Harley and Honda before deciding on the K1200LT. In 2003, I felt that the Beemer was pretty awesome for long distance riding. Plus, I'm not a big fan of riding something everything else is riding. Well, all Hail Victory and its Vision!

The Vision felt awesome out on the highway, and it felt like a little 300 pound bike jockeying through the parking lots. My wife even felt comfortable taking the Vision out on the road by herself.

After spending several years arguing with BMW and being ignored by them and the dealer, I'm most interested in observing how Polaris/Victory responds to some of the issues that are being brought up. So far, it looks very positive.

So, I'd like to hear from any K1200LT riders that made the switch.

Thanks,
Robert

Yes it's hard being a Motorcycle junkie. At least we know what the cure is. BUY THE BIKE. BB

not a K1200 but had a K75T and K100LT. I really liked the K75, one of the smoothest bikes I ever owned. I put about 90K on the bike when I sold it and bought a K100LT. It was smooth also but not very comfortable. I put a corbin on it and really didn't like the ride. I found a used "day long" and it was a different bike. I put 80K on it and bought a kawie voyager. I currently have a '03 nomad. This august I will be buying a vision comfort or premeium....red of course, by the way it is the faster color!
