  • Awesome
    By  (I am an Owner) on Aug 30, 2021

    I've ridden my 08 1800T for 11 years now - bought it new in 2010. My only complaint are the stock seats. I put the Ultimate X seat on in 2017 and can't believe I waited so long to ditch the stock seat! I'm a big guy at 6'10" and it's been a good bike for me.

    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 12, 2010

    I found after changing to Metzler tires ride improved 100%. I like this bike because of the power and reliability of Honda. I dont have any down side at all.

  • So far a decent bike
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 01, 2010

    I bought this new 08 on 3/1/10. As of today 9/1/10 I have 13,900 on it. No major probs. Down sides are : bad seat design, no self cancel signals, low performing brakes, Handle bar and seat mod required by most, headlight illumination not good and adjustment difficult. Using the Honda engine / crash ...

    Id give it a 8 out of 10 so far.
