Not sure what year your Vision is but there was another guy on this forum that had an '08 that was the Frankenstein of Visions.  Seemed like everything that could have gone wrong went wrong with his.  He finally threw in the towel and got a Harley. 

I always wondered what happened to that bike.......

Has anyone had as much trouble with their Vision???

Are you the original owner?   Sounds like your Vision has been beat.

Something is a miss here ... using a quart of oil every 2000 miles?

I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time believing you.

I will not try to change your mind in your choice of a motorcycle, but I feel this is a loaded post.

It started with the first day when I tore my achillies tendon off my right heal trying to pick it up from the fall over protection. I've never used the right side pick up bar but somehow the frame for it got broken. It's a one piece frame that both pick up handles bolt to and both bags have to come off to replace it. And guess what??? The extended maint. pkg won't cover it!!

This is not trouble with the bike, but the way it is handled.  Sorry for your injury.  No one can warn you how not to pick up the bike if you are not aware how to do it and no one else is there to help.  Sometimes in our haste we make waste.  I hope the bike gets fixed with minimal cost to you and that I hope you heal quickly.

You will be interested that if you have a bad seal on the forks and they leak fork fluid all over your brake pads, they won't pay for the brake pads and replacement either.... I found that out too. All this and I don't even have 5000 miles on it yet.

I don't fully understand this post, but this sounds like a warranty issue, assuming it is a newer bike still under warranty.  Sure, a few dollars for brake pads should not be a big deal for someone who has just bought a $20,000 motorcycle, they are normal wear items.

The other problems.... it uses what I consider to be an abnormal amount of oil, about 1 quart per 2000 miles.

If new, this is a warrany issue also. that is excessive, I wonder why you don't get this fix 

Also, the front wheel has a really slow leak. I think its due to the cast wheel. Now I have to replace the front tire.... again, with less than 5000 miles.

This is starting to sound like a rant.  Why do you think it is because of the cast wheel? And why are you replacing the tire again? Not enough information to go on. 

I had trouble with the digital display going dark but it seems to have fixed itself!

I don't know what year your bike is, but your dash should be covered under warranty also. Folks have had their entire display replaced because one LED light didn't work. 

And one last thing.... it's almost impossible to get this thing into neutral and often times, I have to start it up to get it to go into neutral. What a battle!   Again, a rant.  I don't know you but this one alone makes the entire post look silly.

I would not recommend this Victory or any other model to anyone. I feel that I'm stuck with a LEMON!!! A VERY EXPENSIVE LEMON.!

Patience will go a long way to get everything in order if you will give it a chance.  While you may disassociate yourself from Victory motorcycles because of this experience, there will remain thousands that are completely and totally satisified with there purchase.  I wish you well in whatever you decide.

Here's the Paul Harvey version of the story:

I went into a turn too hot and hit a curb.  I bent my front rim so now my tire leaks and I blew out my fork seals.  The curb hit the bottom of the motor so now it leaks oil.  I don't know how to properly pick up a bike by using my legs so I ruptured my achilles tendon in the process.  (That was after the pickup bar somehow broke off.)  I can't find neutral to save my life.  My dealer won't cover any of this under warranty.  VICTORY SUCKS!
