VLOG 001 : My thoughts on my 2011 Victory Vision

VLOG 001 : Took my 2011 Victory Vision out for a quick ride. I give my thoughts on the bike I have owned for over 5 years and 60K miles.

[@idahowhite]

Not only stylish but The Vision out handles ALL BIG BIKES! I don't ride mine I FLY HER!

[@3_AM]

Facts !

[@I_am_archie]

I couldn't believe how well the vision handled. Love mine.

[@devinwakelin1747]

The ole spaceship 👌🏻

[@RidiculousRocketry]

I love my Victory Vision. A couple of takeaways from your video... Bulletproof and a Monster. Couldn't agree more.

[@SteelJM1]

Ugly?! No way! One of the coolest looking bikes out there, and it's not trying to look like every other bagger out there. I'm planning on getting my hands on one this year, hopefully one fo the orange ones.

[@vincenttarquini4235]

Thanks for the information. I own a 2010 Vision Tour Premium. It only has 15,500 miles on it of which I put 4500 on this year. I have been considering the Lloydz cam and tune to do what you have done. I love the bike and plan to keep it as long as I can ride it. It pays to do this. Again thanks for your time and input.

I love mine so much I bought a 2nd one

As all Vision owners know, the stock radio is ass. But there is a way to improve the quality of your tunes, if you're using an Apple device. Diving into the iTunes software, you'll find that you can increase the volume of your music files as much as 100%. It won't actually double the output volume, but the increase will be noticeable. You can also apply various EQ settings to the tracks. Where this is concerned, you'll have to trust your ears as to what sounds best because you can't necessarily go by the EQ names in iTunes. You might be applying EQ to Rock music, but it might be that the 'Jazz' or 'Pop' or some other EQ setting sounds better than the 'Rock' setting. These adjustments can be applied to each individual track or multiple tracks. Making these adjustments, along with the bass/treble controls on the Victory headset will result in a noticeable improvement in the volume and tone of the music when using an Apple device. It won't be like installing a new fire-breathing audio system, but you might be pleased with the results.

@@3_AM Thank you for doing this video and keeping the flame alive. I'm on my third Vision and a member in good standing of the cult that believes they are one of the greatest scoots ever made. Also thanks for demonstrating how to properly ride one. I used to work the factory demos at Arlen Ness Motorcycles and would hear over and over again from H-D riders how gutless Vics were. Once it was explained to them that 1800 RPM was an unacceptable shift point and that the Freedom 106 was born to rev, they tried it again and came away with a greater appreciation for what that motor can do.

[@jimmeyer9075]

Still have my 2011 vision I purchased new. Oil and tires is all I ever needed. 11 years old and enjoy it just as much as when it was new.

[@Thebuffingwizard]

@@3_AM I’ve just inherited a orange vision and Red Cross country, both from my dad. 210k on the vision and 75k on the cross country. Nothing but oil changes on either. The vision has cams and makes 121/121ft lb!

[@Thebuffingwizard]

@@3_AM that’s what everyone says lol. It was his daily for years rain/shine cold/hot. I’ve been impressed hearing the stories I didn’t know about

[@Thebuffingwizard]

@@3_AM I’ll give you a follow and shoot over a few pics!

[@Kabala285]

I’ll never sell mines! Looks good! This video convinces me that cams and tune are worth the expense. One thing i was wondering, I thought there were no real upgrades for the radio… What type of stereo upgrade is that?

[@I_am_archie]

I'm wondering that also about the head unit on the audio. I have a 14 with all the lloydz goodies. Still want a Yamaha Venture trans continental tour. Or a roadmaster or a Challenger or a road glide ultra or a goldwing. Lol, but still I Can't sell the vision. I have a bike problem.

[@Kabala285]

@@I_am_archie I hear you there! My brother just bought a challenger (needs Lloyd’s ECM Flash) - - a great bike with lots of power but, nowhere as comfortable and as good on wind management as the vision. If you got the room, keep ‘um and add to the collection.

[@paullaverty3038]

To me this Vision was one of the most beautiful design motorcycles that was ever produced in the touring segments I wish this company had not gone out of business I would love to own this particular motorcycle possibly in the future have quite a few bikes right now don't have the room but if I could find it an example best super clean and low mileage I would buy one

[@3_AM]

Yes I agree just imagine what a bike it would be if they were still making it in 2024 with the 108 from the Indian challenger. 👌🔥💨 Thanks for watching! #tillthewheelsfalloff

[@pedroc6823]

Darn I miss my Vision Lloydz hooked me up too. 122Hp. I had it retuned at Rob’s Dyno via ecu, removed the PCV. Bike was smoother with the flash tube.

[@klfrostmediallc334]

I just rode my ‘17 vision tour across country with a stop in Sturgis ( I saw only 3 other visions) no problems…I love my VV but I am concerned when 2027 comez

[@3_AM]

Yes same here we have been stocking up on parts here and there. I rode my vision last night it’s an amazing machine!! Thanks for commenting!

[@handogen]

What's the 2027 concern? Something I should worry about?

[@klfrostmediallc334]

@@handogen Well "they say" that Polaris will stop making parts 10 years after the last Victory bikes were produced. I'm not sure what that means...but sometimes parts are hard to come by. Might want to check VOD website.

[@lindsaymillard2881]

Love my 2012 Victory Vision. What is the head set you have on the console?

[@robm3357]

Not sure if you still monitor this but…. My 2015 Vision is making a transmission noise. Just curious if it is the same as yours was making. Under a load it sounds like gear chatter. Metallic rattling sound. Thought is was compensator but rebuilt that and noise still there.

[@barrysmiley5434]

I am buying a 2011 vision with 80500 miles for 6000. Is that an ok deal

[@3_AM]

That sounds a little high but not terrible. I love my vision. Good luck.

[@lavailmann7815]

I got my 2008 with 43k miles for 6000

[@lavailmann7815]

In 2019

[@scottberry5266]

Bought a 12 vision that hit a deer for 800.00 put another 1450.00 into it to repair it. 2250.00 and a afternoon and good as new.

[@stevem9766]

@@scottberry5266Cool . I have a 2015 VV stock. I like it more the longer I own it . And I had a really nice 2019 Roadglide! I traded my RG for a convertible. A year later wanted another bagger . Found the Vision with 10,000 mi . 12,900. I bought it 2 years ago . I like it and what it offers.

[@ph77ab]

What was all involved to install passenger pegs instead of the passenger floor boards...I must do this lol.

[@3_AM]

My 8 ball came with them. However to swap them out it’s just a matter of a few bolts on the bracket.

[@bumstead1383]

I’m considering selling my softail and going all in on a VV. I’ve owned a Vic before

[@nicholasjheinz7461]

I own a 2015 CCT; I agree Victory are awesome bikes!

[@stevem9766]

Late to this . I also have a 15 Tour Red and black . Stock. I do want to either stage one or maybe go further. 501 cams etc . It is a great long haul bike . Obviously looks better without the tour pack . I do enjoy the bike ! 13,000 mi on it . Just broke in .

[@3_AM]

You would not regret the cams !

[@kimnewling5728]

Cool

[@BobHawkins-pt3fq]

I own a victory it's trash motorcycle the voltage never stays at 14

[@redwhiteandfuckingblue9974]

Mafia customs used to make apes for these. Not sure if they still do.....

[@3_AM]

Ironically, we had a fan hook me up with some apes for my vision. That video should be coming soon. Thanks for watching.

[@redwhiteandfuckingblue9974]

I can't see riding mine without these mafia customs apes. So comfortable and well just makes it intimidating as my buddy put it...
