Columbus, Ga | XRsteve - How streetable is your RG? Does it handle hot weather well and do you have to use octane boost? |

| Well guy's to tell u the truth when i left the dealer saturday i tought to myself on tue way home i made a bad decsion. But after 300 miles and 3 days later just runnin around southwest Michigan...........i am happy as hell with my new purchase. U know the only real issue i ever had with Victory was the fact that the dealer network SUCKS! Get this, when th HD dealer called some of the other Vic dealers in the area the only one of anysize Smokin Joes in Caladonia the owner told the sales guy at HD i was an idiot.......what the F___k? I bought my wifes Kingpin there last august. This is the same a__ hole that wanted to charge me 1500 more for a 2011 Cross Country that i could get cheaper just an hour drive away. It is like this i have owned 4 Vics, they really truely are the best bikes on the planet but out of the 4 different dealers i bought them from onlt 1 carries Vics now. So i guess when it comes down to it, giving up a little performance for a GREAT dealer network on top of getting HUGH discounts on every HD buy i make i would be retarded not to. O yeah the other dealer in the area bought my Vision for 2 grand more than the dick was offering. |

New Bohemia, Va | if I was to base my decision on getting "the best bike on the planet" or something else on the dealer network I'd probably be one unhappy individual right now. My old gal is holding up great and haven't really needed a dealer except once since owning 'er. I do wish you the best. |

Tucson, AZ | Good luck with the new ride, I certainly understand why you made the choice you did. As Captain Nemo says, my VV is 2 1/2 years old with over 21k on the clock and I've yet to have need for a dealer fix. |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | Eagle: No it's fine: no octane boost and its set at 10.25:1 compression, but of course the combustion chambers were reshaped up for this. Oil temp runs between 225 on 70F days and 245 on 90+F days, no oil cooler. The PC V and running correct AFR helped with that. All these bikes are set up too lean from the factories. It still has the stock throttle body which is small ( 44mm ) but I didn't want a pro mod motor. It still has cruise control and just runs and runs. My 115.5 HP Vision is a tad bit faster, overall pretty evenly matched.........Overall mileage is 53,000 and 3000 since I had the motor done, got it back in January.
