In my mind a great for the cost

Bought my 1300c 2006 Honda VTX 4 years ago. First bike ever for me. Learned to ride a bike first time in my life! Balance on this bike helped me a great deal, yes I had a few "first" learning on this bike. Didn't realize the windshield all ready on bike acts like a sail......nevertheless, ...I read the booklet that came with bike very helpful but just riding learning to (to keep rolling) very important!!!I'm not a big person 5'8'' 185 59 years old I now consider myself a good rider. Got my license...Bike handles great, made my first 2hr ride to the coast and after a 2 hr rest came back. Tried but the bike and the ride was very enjoyable.Don't need no Harley...this would outlast this noise makers. I guess if you need status or whatever a person is lacking in his life then yeah get a Harley but for the smart and educated rider who wants a quality for a very resaonable price this 1300c VTX is it. Don't need to be noisy for lack of self esteem....ride and love it...!!!Glad I didn't listen to salesman and bought a smaller bike "to learn" as he put it. Yeah, be back in a couple wanting to trade up for a bigger bike. Like I said the balance on this bike is unbelievable easy to manuvever...drive shaft driven not chain drive like a "Harley"..hey this is high end quality like a higher priced BMW bike..WOW Read Full Review

A Bike To Get

I 've had my bike over 5 and 1/2 yrs now. Can't complain a thing about it. Reliable, just the required four thousand mile service. Great ride, has good balance on tight turns and great on long rides. I do have a windshield on my bike with sissy bar and carrier rack. I don't why people feel that they... have to have a Harley. Just follow the crowd I guess. Just think my bike has shaft drive while Harleys still use a belt and chain system!! I know that the bike has plastic on it and even though I don't care for it, it does cut down on the weight of the bike.(OK, that's my only complaint!) Get this bike and you can't go wrong. I have no regrets; I guess you could go for an 1800cc model but the 1300cc on my bike gives me more than enough power. Read Full Review

Excellent Ride!

I have owned my VTX 1300 for 5 years and have had no troubles. I currently have about 19,000 miles on the bike and I still dont think its completely broken in. I changed the seats to enhance the comfort and other than that this is the best bike Ive ever owned. Their enough horsepower to get yourself... in or out of trouble. bike handles well for a large cruiser. Read Full Review

Best bike for the buck

I started riding in 1963 and this is the best I have owned all round. I agree it could use another gear but always has the power to get the job done. I don't agree about the looks, my bike get's LOTS of looks but it does have $4000 in add ons. Pro R hipper charger and bigger jet makes it a beast but... hard on mileage dropped to around 40.
