Holy Crap!! my "new" Vision...

[Lucky]

Well i finally have 2 running Visions. and man, what a difference between a naked bike, & my toured loaded with crap.  (ok, it may not be crap, but it's loaded up)

i took it down to the local Jiffy for $10 worth of regular, & headed out to the local mini highway. the thing feels so light, i can flick it around, & run it up to 11k in a snap!  i had the wimpy 82 speedo pegged before i even got out of 3rd & completely forgot to hit 5th....

i have some retraining to do...

So those motors run OK on regular?

Yep, 87 octane is good enough.

Regular up here at altitude is 85 octane.  I generally run mid-grade in mine, but that's only 87 octane here.  Bike runs better than on the 85 octane fuel.

regular her is 83 octane.  I usually run 85 to 87 depending on where I fill up at.

Didn't kill them, just pushed them all down my way.  Damn  they're bad this year.  I think I lost 2 pints of blood to the little blood suckers today working on YJ.

looks like i'll have to build that other Jesen xz400 model to match THIS bike.

Anyone know where i can get a 1:15 scale round headlight & cafe fairing?

Good to know after years of paying for top-shelf gas in the CB.
