They both have the same drive train and similar features. They both have cast aluminum frames and swing arms and they both have ABS brakes. They have the same wheelbase and the same size tires and wheels and similar handling characteristics. I have demo'd the Vision numerous times and I really like the way it handles. We'll see what happens.

In other words... one is a milk-truck, while the other is a milk-carton.

Ummm... no offense, but I have been to Iowa (the entire state) and most particularly Des Moines (Dez Monez).

Not a whole lot to do there. Maybe just a bit less than I have around here.

So it's no wonder we have attitudes around here, and do not tolerate the whining of others from much more adventurous locations.

You'll have to do better than that, Bill.

I just got back from a ride, I love my bike and will be keeping the milk truck.

Probably a good idea for now. Let some time pass and let the manufacturers come up with some options. From what I am reading on the reviews for the new Vic line-up, many are not happy the Vision's capacity wasn't increased.

I believe the CEO of Polaris is a bright guy and he is paying attention.

Maybe I will have to add more POWER!

That would be a good idea if only you knew what to do with it!

Sorry... couldn't resist. I knocked that one clean out of the park.
