Victory Arlen Ness Victory Vision reviews

I own number #159. How many of these were made? It's the best riding motorcycle I have every owned. I'm struggling to sell my 2004 Kingpin Tour at any price. Show less

I purchased the 2011 Ness X-Country from a dealership in Sackville, NS. This was my second purchase from there. I live six hours away from the dealership. They delivered the motorcycle to my home; how's that for customer service! A breath of fresh air compared to the HD dealership only 30 minutes from my house with its sales team that couldn't be bothered to answer my questions or concerns. Since I was a kid I had always dreamed of owning an HD. Now that my children are grown-up and I had saved the money, I could finally take the plunge and get me a Road King but my experience at the HD dealership left me with a sour taste. Instead, I went with Victory and have not since looked back. In 2010 I bought the X-Roads and this spring I traded it for a Ness X-Country. The machine not only performs as advertised, it handles worry free. To boot, wherever I go, I always get mobbed by HD logo wearing riders who drool all over my X-Country. For that reason, I now carry a stack of wipes to mop-up the saliva. Thank you for your excellent service. Show less

I have been riding motorcycles for 46 years and have owned and ridden all the touring bikes and most cruisers, including, Harley, BMW, Gold Wing, Kawasaki, and Honda. I have put over 180,000 miles on a touring bike in just the last 10 years and have ridden in all but four states and in seven Canadian provinces. After putting 67,400 miles on my Vision in the last 39 months, I can tell you it is the sweetest bike out there. Handling, comfort, wind and weather protection, performance and electronics are the best of class. 67,400 miles and not one mechanical problem at all. Show less

It's an excellent ride. I will not go back to any other bike. It handles like a champ. It's a better ride and performance than Harley. Show less

An unfortunate situation forced me to lay my bike down going about 40 mph. The tipovers prevented me from any harm while the bike was totalled! I rebuilt the bike and it's back on the road. I love this bike. Show less

I traded up from a Star 1100 Silverado - good bike but not comfortable. The Vision is - to be redundant - a 'vision.' I looked at HD line and I really like Harleys but unfortunately there is only so much you can do with a retro design / suspension. The Vision is the epitome of what you can do with modern technology and a clean sheet of paper. This bike draws more attention than having a puppy or a baby with you. Get used to being gawked at and being ribbed a little by your HD buddies. Superb in all ways - give it a four in performance only because in stock rig power is adequate not overwhelming. Handling, power, comfort all AAA in all respects for a tour rider. I compare Vision to my Corvette - dollar for dollar best performing machine you can buy. I am former USAF pilot so 'space ship' fits just fine with me. Take some ribbing and give it back. Show less

I have been wanting a touring bike for years. I wanted a Gold Wing but my legs were too short or the bike was too tall. I looked at HD's but I was not impressed with the stock power to get out of trouble. Then came the 2008 Vision Tour. After much reflection, I decided to buy it. It's an awesome bike. It's huge but rides like a much smaller bike. It has outstanding balance, even at slow speeds. There is plenty of get up and go when needed. The Visions are definitely the best, most luxurious touring bike on the road today. I get great dealer support and I am looking forward to many years of exquisite riding experiences. Show less

I love the bike. I wish there was a way to lower it for smaller riders. (It would be nice to sit flat foot on a bike). Show less

I just got my bike yesterday and I could not get enough of my new Vision. It is everything I had hoped it would be!! I could only put 68 miles on it cause I ran out of daylight. I love how fully loaded with accessories it came with. I can't add anything else. I was the envy of all the bikes that were around me. Show less

I traded in my 2008 Kingpin for a 2011 Vision. The KP was an excellent bike but the Vision is unbelievable! Comfort is excellent, handling is incredible. I was suprised how much better the Vision handled compared the KP which I feel is the best in its class. This is one bike I will have for several years. Show less
