Bert2006 Posted February 28, 2017 #2 Posted February 28, 2017 That's some serious saddlebag action going on there :Laugh:
Flyinfool Posted February 28, 2017 #5 Posted February 28, 2017 I might be able to get my lunch in those bags, I guess Erika will have to eat when we get home..................
bongobobny Posted February 28, 2017 #6 Posted February 28, 2017 Sorry, not what I would call a touring bike...
Hummingbird Posted February 28, 2017 #7 Posted February 28, 2017 Had I encountered that without the posted link I would have thought I was looking at a BMW hybrid of some sort. also what bongobobny said
snyper316 Posted February 28, 2017 #8 Posted February 28, 2017 Thats a pack your lunch racer, not something I would want to ride more the 10 miles...
WildBill1 Posted February 28, 2017 #9 Posted February 28, 2017 Definitely not a, "Venture but a Homebody"
BlueSky Posted February 28, 2017 #10 Posted February 28, 2017 Looks like it has a comfortable seat for one person and an upright seating position. I think it has possibilities for one rider touring. 4 exhaust pipes probably indicate a smooth running haul butt 4 cylinger engine. Looks to be similar to the Kawasaki Versys. Definitely not the cruiser style seating position that seems to be the preferred choice these days.
Kretz Posted February 28, 2017 #11 Posted February 28, 2017 :sign thanks but noSport bike with space for your sandwiches. That's about it! Imagine having your lady on the back of that! Showed the pic to my wife (who rides passenger) "Get Serious!?" was her take on it. I just couldn't see her perched up on that pillion seat. Looks OK (for a sport bike) not my idea of a touring bike. But again it's about the $$$$ who are they aiming it at, definitely not Venture/ RSTD style riders. May do well in the UK/ Europe where sport type bikes rule! Thank goodness for some sanity this side of the ocean!
CaseyJ955 Posted February 28, 2017 #12 Posted February 28, 2017 I do like it, it looks like a really competent bike that can do quite a bit. I dont see it replacing the Venture but it's cool. Looks more like a sportbike that has some real world survivability. It looks like a variant of the Tenere. Not for me but still .
stickhandle2 Posted February 28, 2017 #13 Posted February 28, 2017 I like it, but I do like the spot tourer type bikes and really like the naked bikes. Looks like I would be riding solo with this one though. Still a cool ride. Mike
venturesome Posted February 28, 2017 #15 Posted February 28, 2017 Looks like a naked bike with a bikini on!! However, I would like to have one to ride naked, I mean er... I would like to have a naked one to ride.
mraf Posted March 2, 2017 #17 Posted March 2, 2017 Naw. Not fuddy-duddy enough for me. If momma is not happy nobody is happy! To sportish. If thats a word.
djh3 Posted March 2, 2017 #18 Posted March 2, 2017 Hopefully they used different market source analysts than Victory did to try to figure out what they think people want. Not for me. But hey I like the Vision so to say my likes are.... um unique.
snyper316 Posted March 2, 2017 #19 Posted March 2, 2017 I like the vision too, been trying to find one... Living life one curve after the other. Vroom scooting, thru the countryside.
BlueSky Posted March 2, 2017 #20 Posted March 2, 2017 Looks like the foot pegs are really high. I don't think my 72 year old legs would like being folded up that much.
Max Posted March 2, 2017 #21 Posted March 2, 2017 looking for newer touring bike .. MT10 not even close.
eusa1 Posted March 2, 2017 #22 Posted March 2, 2017 i put a leg over this bike a week or so ago at the local dealership. it's cute and just an r1 with taller handlebars, and not a touring bike at all in my opinion.
Chaharly Posted March 3, 2017 #23 Posted March 3, 2017 I'd have to say the Ventures, Voyagers, Goldwings, Vulcan Voyagers, RSVs and the like are luxury tourers. That being said, I'd be interested in the MT-10 but if I was going to go that route I'd take the what is it called? FJR1300
