Damn it! I couldn't wait on the new Voyager

I love this bike and it actually fits extra-tall riders. I heard negative reports about tall riders on the new Voyager 1700. I pretty happy, but I'll hate it if the new Voyager actually fits tall riders.

Oh well, I'm investing in America versus Japan.

Nice looking Victory, Jon. Let us know how you like it. Enjoy!

Nice looking bike. Personally I am very undecided on them overall, but it looks great!

Great looking bike - If I were going to buy a full dresser, the vision would be one of my choices. I'm tall and like how they fit me as well ENJOY!!!

That is a great looking bike, jon.
Enjoy.
Gotta ask, does the dog like to ride?
I say a fellow on a gold wing with his dog (like yours) riding in his lap.

Enjoy the new bike Jon, I hear they are a dream to ride.

At the California Bike Show in December, I sat on both bikes, the Voyager & the Victory Vision. The Victory was much more comfortable that the Voyager IMHO. I would guess at least 25% more room for both the passenger & rider. You made a good choice there. Good luck...-Rich

"Meet George Jetson....."

I wanted to test ride a Vision at Cyclefest on Friday, but Victory didn't send a demo crew. Enjoy your bike, she's a beauty!

We have a kawasaki dealer a 100 miles away that also sells the victory bikes and they have them sitting there with lights shining on them and they sure look good that way!!

I test rode the Vision, and it was black too. My only legitimate complaint was that the brakes were vague and spongy. I am tall too, and it fit me just fine, but the price is a little bit above what I want to pay. I will say the Vision feels like a much lighter bike than it is and that 6th gear gets the revs to something like 2500 @ 75mph. The electric windshield is nice as well. Good luck with it.

Sweet ride there Jon, enjoy it. Ride Easy!
