  • clanging or knocking
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 11, 2010

    I own a vtx 1300r 2007 and im hearing alot of clanging or knocking when riding. Similar to what you might hear when going up a hill but it does it all the time. Regardless of gas type.

  • Honda VTX-R
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 17, 2008

    The above review is true and accurate. It's a joy to ride and for a bike with a 1312 cc engine you'd think it would be hard to balance and handle but it's just a joy to ride and for a cruiser it's a rocket with 0-60 in the low 5's and easily rides over 125 mph and liquid cooled. The torque is amazing ...

  • 8000 mile review
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 14, 2008

    Well I have been driving my VTX 1300 R for 5 1/2 months and 8000 miles later, what do I think? When it rains, I miss riding it. You have to understand I am one of the ole school riders who ride to ride, not for show. Yes its a good looking bike, but I bought my bike to ride, I take off alone in ...

    My ride is good in the city traffic, my ride is good for long country roads or freeways, Its not good for sharp turns and it does eat more gas than the smaller models, I have extra gear on it and a 21 inch windshield and get about 42 MPG average. Personally i think it seems to run even better after the first 100 miles on a trip, I dont like that 1st gear gring, but have adjusted my habits so it doesnt happen that much anymore. IS it the fastest thing out there, NO, is it fast enough for me, oh ya, it is not a sport bike in any sense. I do know I have complete confidence I can take any trip or go any where I want to alone and I never have to worry about my ride letting me down. Its smooth, but still you know you are on a bike. I am looking at tour bikes also, but dont see myself ever getting rid of this baby for a while. Its a fine bike, allways gets me where I am going, low maintainance cost. The manual only calls for oil change every 8000 miles, so you know thats because of precision engineering,ut I still do mine every 4000. I do love my bike
