Well I am going to have more than one vision rider not happy with this post. Oh well!
I just took delivery yesterday of a brand new CCT '12. Only three miles and paid less than 20k.
I have always loved my VV but when the CC came out I said then as I will say again, had the CC been out on '08, I would have taken it home instead. But I digress!
A couple if immediate observations. The CCT is a great bike but has a couple of things that do make a difference to me. The first one is simply that the bike feels smaller. I realize it is not. But reality is, the big fairing is gone and I'm left a bit wanting.
I also miss the moveable windshield. Oh well, I'll get used to that.
The last thing that is huge in my mind is the vibration. I am a bit surprised at how it is more pronounced than the VV. But it is still so much better than any HD out there.
I have been told the difference in storage is not a big deal. Oh I so beg to differ. It is much roomier. Those that say I'm a wimp because of it, fine. I like my ecoutraments and this is a big one that I love. I enjoy not having to figure out where I'm going to stuff that last Widget. Yes it's that much roomier. I moved all of my stuff from the V to the CCT and have a ton of room left over. Love it!
The break in and fact that I lost my cam to the VV will be something I'll have to get over. But I truly look forward to the miles to come.
