| They will have one wheel to save friction on the road and tire, they are CO2 cooled, rear view camera, 500 cu ft bags, side airbags, drunk rider tester and you have to pass a test from your peers to buy one. |

Spfld, IL but temp Bay area, CA | I was at the Demo Ride in Fresno about a month ago and the guy in charge says the side bags will most likely change in '13 as the engineers are in the process of moving items out of the way to enable larger storage in the side bags but they still won't be as large as the cross bags |

...then is it safe to start the rumor that 2012 is the last year for the Vision....

Sturbridge, Ma | I went to the New York International Motorcycle show where they unveiled the Highball. I also presented myself and took a picture with Michael Song which is the lead designer for our Fabulous Bikes "Visions". I asked if any plans or future upgrades for our bike?
He said YES! The fact our Visoins are such a great success brought to Victory they are working on a New Vision which He said will be most likely a whole new design. Michael himself gave a "Wink" when he answered.
I'm sure they will be up ahead of most MFG. with some wild design!!! Looking forward to it! |

Green Bay, WI United States | Think I will wait until the 2012's comes out to decide if I want a 11 8-ball or 2012????? Do not like the "George Jetson" trunk on the current Vision but the trunk pictured above could grow on me. I think I would still go with the "8-ball" version if offered. The creature features on my 08 Street Premium are junk as far as I am concerned. Radio sucks and I would rather have a throttle lock than the factory cruise control. The picture above also looks like they fixed the handlebar/hand to mirror feedback, real hard to get a good look at the babe you passed and is still behind you at the stop sign..... Hope it would have an adjustable windshield? Nitrous and supercharger would be a kick! Thinking that Arlen would have a field day with this design. The rake of the forks is different or they stretched the frame as it appears a longer wheel base to me, ya I know it is just a sketch but shit happens from these ideas, Lord don't Vision Riders know.
Ride hard, ride fast, but above all - ride safe and free.......

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | I like the idea of the brake lights being on the bags, even though it would lose that iconic V. |

Sturbridge, Ma | What I like is the Slick-ness and possibly the larger bags!!! Also the signals on the mirrors!!!

Georgia, west of Atlanta | That's very cool looking, it wouild be a while but I would buy a new one, once they get led tail and brake lights and figure out it's good to have the trunk lights work as brake lights also. ( Like Honda and Harley have for years ) Duh ??
We'll all have to wait and see but it looks very interesting.... |

New Bohemia, Va | the pics above are the concept drawings for the beloved Vision we now ride. There are few others out there that look rather cool as well. Put detachable or bigger bags on a Vision and you'll have a harley looking Cross with a full fairing. |

Gettysburg, 2008 Tour Premium | The pic of the Vision is cool but did anyone look at the passenger floorboards? This design is not ready for prime time as it stands. |

| Say you guys don't wait for next years model if you don't own one. Go out and buy now cause tomorrow who knows. A new model could be ugly or it could be way cool.
Doesn't Vic show its new models in sturgis like that other guy. Don't ever sit and wish have fun now and wore about tomorrow when it comes. |

| I really like the look of my 09! the 2013 not so much! Sorry but I don't mind the bags! I road a 05 Kingpin for 4 years and put on about 50,000 miles on it. The bags and the trunk are alot smaller than the Vision, so far the wife and are leaving anything behind because we don't have enuff room. just my 2 cents Blister |

Edmond, OK 2012 Vision, 2012 Cross Country | I loved my '09 and my '11 is growing on me real quick and it rides the same as well. I have had it almost 5 months and it has 6k on it. If the look of what is pictured above comes to reality I will probably change manufactures. I like the look of what we all have now, they shoudl just make more inovations to what is here not a total change. I really don't want a different bike than what i have. My opinion. |

| Holy crap that bike is UUUUUgly. O wait that is what i said about the Vision the first time i seen it in person. Then after about six months and a dozen trips to the dealer i was sold on my 08'. i thought REAL hard about the CC this spring but i just couldn't think of any negatives about my current bike. After 3 plus years on a Kingpin now riding a Vision for 3 plus i just could not imagine anything different, now on the other hand if i had time for 2 bikes that would be a different story. |
