| Finally got my '10 8 Ball shipped up from Texas. Took them three weeks because they apparently went through the rings of Saturn. Don't care what they do with the Vision now, The 8 Ball is so cool, Batman wishes he had this bike! And if I knew how to get a stupid picture on here, I'd do so. |

| SkooterRob - 2015-04-16 9:13 PM ABS and cruise control are now options on the F6B Cruise control is on the 2015 models, but I don't think ABS has made it to the US F6B's. Test rode a F6B. It is very nimble and torquey, much better low-end power and low speed maneuverability than the Vision. Rider's leg room is limited but rider's seating position is much better than the GW. Vision looks like it has more ground clearance. Each bike has its trade-offs. |

Racine, WI United States | I get a kick out of all the speculation about the new Vision. On a couple of the facebook Victory pages, one guy has said that he has seen the spy photos of the 2016 Vision, was called out to link the pictures, but, of course, the guy was full of sh_t. Victory is very tight lipped about anything new that they make. Nobody knows what the Vision will look like, but, let's hope it is a knockout for those who want changes to it. Me, wouldn't mind seeing some changes, but if not, hell, it's hard to improve the best bike made. But, if no major change in design, as some on the fb pages have said, maybe doing a Vision with a hot rod theme, aka, a Vision Magnum. I think with the right design, a three tone paint on one would be awesome. But, we'll just have to wait till Sept. to find out. |

West Salem, WI United States | I would love to see side bags just big enough to put a modular helmet inside. If I had that, my trunk would be gone, love riding this bike without the trunk! |

I have never ridden mine without the trunk. I may try that one day. |

I was thinking more like a liquid cooled engine and bigger bags. Don't get me wrong I love my vision. I am just ready for a change.
This is what's led me to be at the point of pulling the trigger on the new HD CVO Road Glide. I love my 09, and don't want a new Vision because I hate the standard handlebars, and nothing has changed in the fit and finish. Everything seems like a bolt on afterthought. I think I am going to miss her, but I think the Vision will not change for a while. Although, this year would be good to stay in competition with the changes to the RoadGlide. |

| Harley CVO's now have a 120R motor in them now. So maybe Vic will put a bigger motor in the vision |

If that's the only upgrade you want, that is easy. Lloydz cams, Lloydz top filter, and a fuel controller are all you need to gain 30 horsepower. The power is already designed into the motor, but the EPA tune keeps it locked up. Just unlock it.

| Was at a large Victory/Indian dealer a couple of weeks ago and inquired about 2016 Vision changes. Response was pretty much just color changes. |

| I doubt very much that the dealers even know of any changes until the dealer meetings. Polaris is VERY tight lipped about those things. Plus, the dealer wants to sell you the bike that he has on the floor, not the one that MIGHT come out next year. |

, FL United States | The 08 is starting to have a bunch of small problems. No the glove box lid broke. It will not stay shut. I am trying to hold of to see what the 2016 will have. If it is the same I will keep it and look for another touring. Roadmaster? |

St. Paul, MN | I picked up a 2014 last year and couldn't be happier. Are there things I'd like to see changed, yup. Keyless starting (my 2008 Kawasaki C14 had it) bluetooth, larger rear saddle bags, and an upgraded stereo option. I've added all the go fast bits I can and will get cams installed at The Vic Shop this Friday. All that's left to do is enjoy the bike!

Tavares, Fl | In my opinion the best looking, most comfortable, most dependable bike on the road and guys are complaining they want change. More power, contact LLOYDS, more storage, either learn to pack or get a luggage rack or even a cargo trailer, bigger windshield there are plenty aftermarket companies making them But if you really want change leave the rest of us alone and go buy a Harley. I'm on my second Vision, first one was an 08 and the is one is a 12. Recently I came back from Portsmouth Ohio. 980 miles thru the mountains and 14 hours straight thru only stopping for fuel, Try to do that on a Harley... I've also done 12 hours thru Alabama to the Barber Museum outside Birmingham twice....The closest bike I've come to the Vision comfort wise is a Yamaha Venture, also a very dependable bike. I sold my 01 Venture in 09 with 138000 miles on it having only replacing the clutch, in the parking lot of the Doubletree hotel in Nashville on a weekend trip... |

Any rumors of a new Vision for 2016?
