I never got a chance to test one.

Work got in the way.

Dam work!!

Sean does a lot better wright up tham me anyway.

The heat issue, and the not being able to see well behind you would have turned me waaaayyyy off, and I would have not been as objective

Ah well, that sucks!

Now that they're out in the dealerships, I bet you could probably just get a ride under the standard Victory demo program.

I like what I've read about the new Connie too.

Are you already thinking of selling the Buel?

Well I did like the bike but the Cons and the price far outweighed the Pros.
Maybe they will wok it out after a couple of years.

I happened to see one the other day at Julian pie company in Santa Ysabel. We were on a return of a rather frigid ride. Backed in right next to it. Damn that parking lot looked good. Two sweet Vic's...the sport bike guys were drooling.

I have to admit the Vision is one sweet looking bike.
