found this bike nearby and am kind of taken aback. looks like it is in decent shape minus the problems in the post. has anyone had or have one of these or any info on them? im thinking of trying to snag it for a good price. it looks comfy :)

They are quite good touring bikes.  My dad rode one for many years (Venture Royale, it's for sale with a second engine. My dad died in Jan). They have similar problems to the Vision, starter clutches, regulator/rectifier, exhaust is a bitch to work on....
