Location: State of Confusion | I am sorta a new Vision owner. Just bought an '08 SSG Tour Premium still on the MSO. I can't wait for spring to arrive. In the meantime the dealer is holding the bike.
I say I am sorta new because I had another '08 TP in the cherry. It was totalled 05/15/2009 with 2759 miles on it. Some of you may have followed the thread about me on the VMC site.
I am finding some good info here and would like to thank Jedi for creating this site.

| Hi, I just wanted to introduce myself to the site. I've been riding Victor's since 2003 and I am picking up a 2009 Blk Vision tomorrow. I spend more time on the VMC forum (I go by Highwayman there), but I will be looking here for more Vision specific info. From what I have seen in just the few visits, there is some great info here. Looking forward to meeting and riding with some of you this year. Looking at some of the user names, I know many midwest Vision owners here.

Welcome aboard! I am glad you could find a Vision. My dealer here sells them as fast as he gets them....and lately he is not getting them very fast from Victory.
Please let us know if you have any questions about your new ride.
Ride Safe!

Location: Winchester KY | Hi all, I'm not one for small talk but if I have a question or comment I'll speak up. I just got my 2010 White Vision this weekend, traded in my 07 Wing for it. So far I'm not sorry, it's not as quick as my Wing was but it feels more stable at parking lot speeds. Anyway, just wanted you to know who's lurking in the background .

Location: San Antonio, TX | bamavizn and NightFlyer,
Welcome one and all!
Bamavizn, where are you located and how long have you owned the 2008 Vision?
NightFlyer,
If you want most of that power back....Get the stage 2 cams, fuel controller and air intake mods done by KevinX. It makes the Vision a real strong competitor.
Ride Safe!
You guys are more then welcome to join in the conversation. |

| Great site! I picked up an '08 vision street premium that had been repoed in CA, then wholesaled up here in WA for $14,500 with 5800 miles on it around last Thanksgiving. The economy, dontchaknow. I got a little over 8,000 on it now. It has the Level 2 exhaust and the reflash, it doesn't pop too bad. Man, I got to say, I hate that thing! All I want to do is ride it, so nuthin' else is gettin' done! Especially now as it's our (for us) dry season up here. It's even got me blogging at work, for crying out loud.
I was on my second Yamaha Venture with Vmax cams/kit, and it was faster by a large margin, but you can't beat the legroom on a Vision. I splay out like a teenager on the telephone. Going down these Olympic Peninsula roads when the turns come, I just dial in a little more opposite lock and I can't believe I've never scraped a board. I was sick and tired of the front air forks on the Yamaha, too, so the relative simplicity of the Victory was a major selling point.
Inexpensive, exclusive, reasonably speedy and uber comfortable, with much appreciated heated grips and seats. Unbelievable. I rode the Ventures for 21 years, this Victory might be the one to last the next 30. I bought my '74 Norton new and still have it, so it's hard for me to pick a scoot worth hanging on to, but this one...yeah baby!
Now-about that stereo... |

Location: Coos Bay, Oregon | Rainryder, glad to hear you are enjoying your Vision. If you want to really feel a difference in power look into getting the Lloyds cams and fuel controller, just had my 08 done and it's like a whole different bike.
Enjoy your ride and be safe.
