    Dont know much about them but I think everyone hated that bike and said it was a POS back in the day.

        I personally have no clue about the bike, that is just what I have heard from a couple people.

          A friend had one. Bought new. He hung some kind of an ugly fairing on it and put over 50,000 miles in the 2 years he had it. No problems at all.

              The Vision handled great, has plenty of power for the size. The problem was the charging system. I put about 20K on one, and was happy with it!
