Outdated over priced ancient technology.

I don't know why anybody would buy one of these when Honda sells perfectly capable cruisers...

There, that's my fake Harley rant.

The Vision is insanely ugly.

He had already put on an aftermarket exhaust when I rode it. As for the tach, nice to have, but I just listened to the engine for shift points. Never did hit the limiter, but I surely did exceed the speed limit!

I did hit the limiter when I first rode one and thought WTF but after realizing what I had done...it didn't happen anymore.

I had just gotten off of a TurboBusa after riding it for a couple of hours so it was quite a different experience.

For a cruiser I did like the Victory though.

That's the same rant a guy at a Honda dealership gave me when I was shopping for the Warrior.
