WOW talk about a bunch of cool ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As far as car like I predicted that they would team with KTM, and we would see something more like the
X-bow. Front end of that thing looks like a RZR.

Here is the X-bow

the Vision is still the only one with superior weather protection. this is the first time I seen this, is this an email or snail mail?

oh, and I still like the Vision Tour over the Bagger...

I'd take the core and have it for my work scoot...

It was an email. I got one either late last year or early this year too. The Vision 8-ball was in that survey.

There was also, what appeared to be, a picture of a can-am spyder in this survey as well. LOVE the core, LOVE the Cross Country Bagger, but absolutely HATE the Vision bagger. I also didn't like the fact that they reference the sound of a Harley in concept A and D. How about "it sounds like a traditional Victory"?

KevinX - Never heard of that one! Me likes it!

My boss has always wanted a T-Rex and that is the first thing I thought of.

Link to T-Rex: http://www.campagnamotors.com/

Do a YouTube search for them. They appear to be a blast, but quite pricey.

Rode around in a T-Rex turbo for a few days in Daytona back in 04. Talk about a hoot. Scary as can be on the freeway though. Nothing like looking up at the underside of a Bubba Truck

yeah, if they go with the harley clone and harley sound so much for redefining the future. I like the different that Victory has, if they start being like the jap crap and cloning harley's they've sold out IMHO.

Vision Bagger or Cross Country Bagger. Tough choice. I like the extra storage on the lowers, but that's certainly not a deal breaker. 39 gallons of storage capacity is getting closer to "touring" and something that really interests me. 29 is closer to what I can setup on my sport bike with off-the-shelf soft bags and about what my V92C is now. Just not acceptable. These look like real deals.

Look closer. Shock is a diagnal link under the seat, and the pivot is offset from the bottom line of the frame.

I'll say one thing, if this is not a hoax,then the Vision bagger and Vision tour will undoubtedly,continue to be the greatest looking bike since sliced bread. Did you notice on the bagger, the rear seat is flat across,but you can't see the rear seat on the tour model. I like the 39 gal. of storage.

I have to say though, $23,000 for simply adding a trunk and few extras seems a little pricey. Plus I find it hard to imagine that Victory would produce another tourer to compete on the same price point as the Vision. Just MHO.

Were they asking your opinion on your likes and dislikes of each model or was it simply: "We're thinking about doing some of these"?

I would love to be able to remove the back end of my Vision and put on the Vision Bagger bags. If they are like the XC bags, they would hold more and be more functional.

It would be nice to keep the V tail light on the Vision Bagger.

I like the idea of a quick release removable trunk.

Other than that I would keep my 2008 Vision rather then buy any new listed.

Ride Safe

For the single bike pics, it was a 4 or 5 answer selection. Something like definitely would buy, probably, might, maybe, no. On the page the that would have two bikes it would ask me if I liked left more than right, right more than left, neutral, not interested.

Also, there was a question or two around my interest in a 799cc-1200cc bike.

Radioteacher, I'm with you on that idea. In my Vision world, one big missing piece, is to have the large XC size bags.

On the Sportser type bike that is concept bike "C", why in Gods green earth would I want a Victory with Push Rods?

I wish they listed prices on the A and B bikes. I have never had a water cooled bike but it might be nice to run around town on. I would want detachable bags that could fit a full sized laptop in and back rack that can be used to tie down a 12" Pizza.

Right now I pick up my Monday night pizza on the Vision and put it on the back seat. I have to remove the Utopia Backrest and sit about two inches forward on the seat but it is not a long drive home.

Very cool ideas! I wonder if The KTM street power plants or the S&S connection is a posibility?
I really like the cross country tour.

I'm going to say that the bagger Vision has some trade off, one aero's and two weight when loaded. I think with those, it'll handle very good as a motorcycle, but will lose some of its Visionaire...

I'll keep my Vision until they pry the throttle from my cold dead hand...

I like the XC, but I'd stay with the Vision. More storage would be great. If some tweaking can be done without compromising the styling, I'd be all for it.
