YEARS SOLD: 2008–present MSRP NEW: $19,999 (’08) to $20,999 (’15) BLUE BOOK RETAIL VALUE: $10,855 (’08) to $15,785 (’14) BASIC SPECS: The Victory Vision Tour makes use of an air-/oil-cooled, SOHC, 106-inch V-twin featuring closed-loop fuel injection and an overdrive six-speed gearbox. Its split dual exhaust with crossover delivers a pleasing rumble, the engine producing 88 hp and 105 pound-feet of torque on the CW dyno. This bike, with a 66-inch wheelbase, a robust alloy frame, and suspension featuring a 45mm fork and a single shock, has an impressive GVWR of 1,414 pounds. Triple disc brakes are linked rear to front with ABS offered standard in later models. WHY IT’S DESIRABLE: The Vision’s styling might not be for everyone, but this heavyweight distance runner’s smooth, competent, and surprisingly agile handling is not to be overlooked. The seamlessly integrated side bags and trunk are weather-sealed and lockable, offering 29 gallons of secure storage. The trunk features a padded passenger backrest and audio speakers to complement fairing speakers. Additional luxury features include cruise control, heated grips, and a height-adjustable windscreen at the touch of a button. The Vision’s roomy riding position and long floorboards have won favor with taller riders while its 26.5-inch seat height is inviting to all. THE COMPETITION: The venerable Honda Gold Wing and BMW K1600GTL top a list that also includes the likes of American-built touring rigs such as the Harley-Davidson Ultra Glide and newly introduced Indian Roadmaster . If you’re looking to stand out from the crowd, particularly in styling, the Vision Tour has no peer.Gadget Reviews: mamaktalk.com
