But, getting a bit more than you would expect from a Honda, describes the vtx 1300.  It is heavy enough to feel solid at freeway speeds while still manageable as a daily commuter to and <span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">from work.  The power is more than most people will ever effectively use.  I have had 200 pounds worth of passenger and gear riding two up and, highway speeds come very easy still.  Along with renown Honda reliability and miser pricing, the vtx 1300 is just a little more and, a little better in all areas than I need.  Of course, this is a welcomed problem I will think about with a big smile while cruising past you.  </span>

		   I bought my Honda VTX 1300s 2 years ago and love every aspect of it. The ride is awesome , the looks are standoutish and the price was actually fair for a left over but brand new bike. <br /><br />
  I have taken this bike on trips, cruises and just down town for a quick cool down after mowing. <br /><br />
  I own on<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">e other Honda and one Harley and this would be the last bike I would part with.<br />
  If I had one gripe it would be the low budget plastic chrome used in several areas but then again my wallet was much brighter after leaving the dealer.</span>
