I was knocked over by the upcoming 2008 KLR, but after seeing this, I'm not so sure. http://www.motorcycledaily.com/19january07_victory2008vision.htm This I gotta have! _________________________________________________________________ Type your favorite song.

That's about as far away from a KLR as you could get! When I heard about this one, I was surprised that Yamaha didn't keep the Vision name trademarked in case they ever wanted to reuse it. Personally, I'd take a working 1983 Yamaha Vision over the Victory version. http://www.knowlesville.com/matt/motorcycles/vision83.html

To each his own. That said I wouldn't be caught dead on that thing. Don't get me wrong though it has great style and looks but that ain't me. I never had a taste for touring bikes. If it doesn't fit in your pocket or make the bike go faster it stay's home. Kerry --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Peplinski" wrote:

Yeah, the Motorcyclist preview of this (with "artist's conception" drawing) said that the line from Victory was to the effect of "like nothing you've ever seen." Pretty cool, and not a disappointment. Required KLR content: I went to a few shops last week and found an '05 lime with 10K miles for $4,000, a new dark red '06 for $5,200, and a couple of '07s for the same price. They're out there. I should get another one. Stephen --- Mike Peplinski wrote:
