lowtone9 - 2008-06-03 10:44 PM Mine are already shimmed as far as they can be shimmed. Anyways, my little rant is over. I love the bike, mostly. As for comparing to Harleys, I think that`s the biggest mistake they`re making. I know it`s a big and lucrative market to go after, but if they want to build world-class they should be looking at what the world is building, not just Harley. cool lowtone9, glad to hear you're happy with your bike. As far as the Vision going after Harley or anything else for that matter, I think they're just getting the market share from what they understand the customer wants, which is the right thing to go after. I think what we are already starting to see is that the others are going after Victory before they get too much of the market share. Edited by varyder 2008-06-03 10:51 PM | |||

| victory2002 - 2008-06-03 8:50 AM BATMAN - 2008-06-03 7:26 AM Any problems on a $20,000 bike are just not cool, first year or not. (I was one of the lucky ones with my 34,000 mile trouble free numbered '99) I have a $16,000 TCD now, also no problems with that one. (new model and first year Freedom motor, 50,000 miles) If I would have gotten a Vision, I can imagine being pretty ticked off about some of the problems people here have experienced. To me, 1st year or not, they should have gotten these things worked out before production. Batman, you have rose colored glasses. 1st off..I love my vision. It is the best riding/performance bike I have ridden. I have owned both of the models you have mentioned above (both 1st year production) and they didn't come without their little problems and I love them also. Just look at the recalls for 99 or the paint that didn't get finished on the back of the hard bags and the fouling on the plugs on the 02 TCD. The thing is that the people that had good dealers like myself ( and don't take no for an answer) also got the stuff fixed. Nothing that has been said in this forum (which is very informative and I hope people keep bringing any issues up) that cannot be fixed. If anybody can by a better bike with no issues, than ..more power to you. I can get my little (cosemetics) issues with this bike fixed and be riding for as many miles or more than my previous Victorys. So, Batman if you haven't ridden a Vision yet..don't..'cause if you do...you'll want one too.  Rose colored glasses? Why, because I didn't have problems with my two other Victorys? I'm not saying there weren't any problems, I just didn't experience any. Never even heard of paint or plug problems on the TC. The only thing I was saying, is that it seems that many of these problems that people are having with the Vision, should have been worked out before production. I agree, a good dealer can fix them, great. BUT, not all have a good dealer. You say nothing that people have complained about here cannot be fixed. How about the paint issue on the bags wearing off? The paint thing is (to me) the biggest problem, since I carry a passenger quite a bit. And if it rubs off because it is too soft, I gotta say, I'D BE PISSED. And I think others would be too. I don't think that owners should be expected to ADD that 3M stuff so it doesn't. As far as riding one, I have ridden them on 3 different occasions. I LOVE them, and will probably get one, maybe next year. (daughters wedding is kind of sucking up my $$ right now) Please don't misunderstand me, I think Victory has a GREAT bike here. Just wish they would have worked out some of these issues before they came out. | |||
