| 2008–10 Victory Vision Tour |
|---|
| Performance |   |
|---|
| The Victory motor is a fine performer, and the Vision gets a nice bump in displacement. |
|
| Handling | |
|---|
| Despite its v-twin, it is just as wide and long as a Gold Wing...and handles just like one, too. Not that that is terribly bad. |
|
| Looks | |
|---|
| The Vision could have been designed by DC Comics. It's just silly looking and over-the-top, although I like the lines around the faux fuel tank cover and seat. The street version, minus the swoopy, cantilevered top box, looks better, but the cartoonish saddlebags need help. |
|
| Reliability |  |
|---|
| Victory takes the quality of their bikes seriously (more so than Polaris's sled and ATV lineups!), but they still suffer the limitations of a small-volume company. |
|
| Practicality | |
|---|
| It's no worse than any other big, fat, full-dress tourer to ride, although parts and service may be more of a hassle, and there are fewer accessories available. |
|
| Desirability | |
|---|
| Despite admirable functionality, I can't imagine anyone (other than Batman) thinking 'Yea, that's the bike for me.' |
