Victory Vision Tour Premium reviews

I purchased my Vision in February, 2011 and could not be happier with it. It has definitely exceeded expectations. It handles like a much smaller sportbike with enough power to go faster than I am likely to ever want to go and get there at highway speeds quickly. It is solid and stable well beyond legal speeds. You can ride all day long with no problem. I am currently deployed in Afghanistan and can hardly wait to get home on R&R and put some more miles on it! I am also surprised at the many sportbike riders who are impressed with it and say they may purchase one. This bike may attract a whole new crowd of riders. Show less

I sold my Goldwing 1500 and bought the XC Tour. I rode it home from the dealer in the dark. It was 32 degrees and the heated grips and seat are awesome. The lowers worked very well also. I'm looking forward to some better riding weather. It's too rainy right now to put on many miles. I'm very happy with my choice to buy the Victory instead of the Harley or another newer Goldwing. It's comfortable and well mannered to ride even in stop-and-go traffic. I get lots of comments. It's a very sharp motorcycle. Show less

I thought I wanted a Harley until I test drove the Vision. This bike is everything I ever wanted and more. As a new rider in April, 2011, I learned to ride on a Honda Shadow and moved up to the Vision in August. Good thing I didn't start out with this bike because I wouldn't have been able to handle the weight as a new rider. The ride is smooth at all speeds and it handles great. This bike turns many heads so if you are an introvert, it may not be for you. There is nothing bad I can say about my Victory Vision. It has to be the best purchase I ever made in my life. As the dealer told me when I went in for a test ride; "once you ride this, you won't want to get back on your Shadow." He was right! Show less

I can't get enough of this bike. If I had more time I'd have 100,000 km. on it, although 30,000 in two seasons up here in the great white north is a fair bit of riding. The radical looks of the bike are great for meeting people, although some people will dis it just because of that. I feel pity for the Harley dudes who won't even consider test riding one because it doesn't fit their image. Like Gunney says..."ride one and you'll own one". Show less

I got my Victory Vision new this summer. I cannot go anywhere without my wife. We live north of Kansas City and took a weekend ride down to Hot Springs, Arkansas. We got a lot of interest from people, mostly HD owners, asking a lot of questions. I can't say enough good things about my bike. We did almost 500 miles each way down and back nonstop. What a great ride. We hit rain and cold weather on the way back up and we both stayed dry. The heated seats and grips came in handy. I can't wait until this spring - we are going to Colorado.

Thank The Lord that I deliberated on buying a motorcycle long enough to be directed to Victory by my brother. I tell anyone that asks, if you seek supreme comfort, great handling, powerful throttle response, and the fantastic (but different) styling, it is the only bike to own. I have a 2007 HD Road King Classic in the basement for sale. It is enjoyable to have, but only because of its beautiful sound. 40 degrees and sunny, my Victory still provides me a comfortable ride without plug in apparel! Show less

If you haven't ridden one of these bikes you cannot fathom the quality of ride. It handles like a sport bike with more than enough power. The ride is smooth and comfortable. The Victory ad says ride one and you'll buy one, you may say it's a cocky statement but it's true. I climbed on one with my wife and one mile down the road we both chimed in that we have to have one. There is nothing better. Show less

Awesome - the Victory wind management provides ample protection and virtually no operator wind buffeting. At 38 degrees, the bike is still comfortable due to the excellent wind management(hasn't been colder than that yet). Surprisingly nimble, the bike eats curves and wants more. It has solid tracking in curves, nice stock rumble and plenty of power and acceleration. The headlight is superb with huge area of side light and extensive down road lighting. Fit and finish are flawless. There's no optical distortion from the windshield what so ever. The data center is easy to toggle through and provides the operator with instant readable feedback. Thumb and finger controls (switches and buttons) for cruise and audio system are located so that operation is safe and accurate at road speeds even with heavy gloves. Headlight, horn and turn signals are conveniently placed. Fuel economy so far is better than 40 mpg. Show less

This is only the second new bike I ever bought. The first my ex got in the divorce. I live in the mountains and have nothing but curves from home to work. I wear out my side walls first! I have some small rattles in the trunks and am still working on them. I love the tip overs. I have put most of the goodies on that you can. I think I will still add a backrest. I have debated long about one. I average over 11k a year and have been from Washington to Florida. Show less

There are too many things I like about this bike to put it all in words, but if you are in the market for a touring bike you owe it to yourself to at least test drive one. The Cross Country Tour is everything you will want in a touring bike and it is made in the good old USA. Keep up the great work Victory ! Show less
