Terblanche had to find a job somewhere... (oh wait -- it wasn't him?)
Cory Ness, son of Arlen Ness did most of the design work on the Vision.

I don't think it's that bad looking in person.  A couple of weeks ago I stopped by the local Arlen Ness showroom in Dublin and took a Victory Vision for a test ride.  Unfortunately they wanted me back in ten minutes, so it wasn't long enough to get to any interesting roads.  I thought that it actually felt pretty good for a 900 pound motorcycle.  I thought the controls were a bit too far forward, but that's only an issue when coming to or pulling away from a stop.  I like the engine better than the Harley engine.

The personal Victory Vision of Arlen Ness was parked out in front when I was there and I thought it looked pretty cool.  They didn't have to do much to it to make it more interesting.  I really wish I had brought my camera along.

And I don't know why so many of you need to act like a pack of dogs attacking this bike.  You're probably the same ones that complain that all cruisers look the same.  You can't have it both ways.

Hey, I'll ride anything on two wheels.

How about comparing it to a Trike ? I followed a group of Trikers for about 10 miles one Sunday on a twisty section of road and they moved prety well for 3 wheeled Goldwings. They had been stopped at one of the 7 State Parks not far from where I live and I looked at them while they were stopped and some looked like they had interiors with comforts one would finf in a Cadillac or BMW 7 Series. $30,000 ready to go. Seemed a nice way to travel long distance . Sorry for the thread jack.

Hmm, to me the styling is reminiscent of something from the 40's with that sideways teardrop sort of shape.
Sorry, not a big fan.
