I own a 2007 VTX 1300C and I love it it is absolutely the most trouble free bike I have ever owned ! It has plenty of power for 2 up and I am 6’2” 235lbs and the bike fits me perfectly! I would recommend these bikes to any one who loves to just go out hop on ant hit the starter and go !
I have that same bike. I have about 80,000 miles on it and it has never quit on me. It's probably the most reliable bike on the road. Also beautiful and powerful. Not super fast but fast enough.
Good to know I just got a 06 with 3,820 miles and the first day I got it the starter switch went out so I sent realize that problem was because the guy had put a flashing relay for the head light so it place to much of a load for a plastic and cooper switch to carry. That being said my bike has been in a climate controlled garage and when the guy put Vance & Hines pipe on he had it dyno tuned so I've never had to use the choke and it always starts the instant you hit the button and I plan to put 20,000 miles on before I sale to buy a 1800
@jlrutube1312 what’s the most mileage you’ve ridden her on one riding trip and how often do u stop and rest and do u ever have to stop to let her cool off?
@@lstruggy To be honest, most of that 80,000 miles is like a million short trips to nearby towns and back ... normally just to buy something I need. Occasionally I take a three hour ride across a good part of my state and stay at a lake where my parents have a lake house and then usually ride back the next morning.
Usually I just ride around my state (which is Oklahoma.) I just stop when I need gas or have to make a bathroom stop etc. I have never had the need to let the bike cool off since it is water cooled. Really the only problem is that I still have the stock seat and it is not really the best quality and after a couple of hours my backside gets a little uncomfortable. I suppose I should get a Mustang seat but I am sorta poor these days ... or maybe I'm just cheap.
@@jlrutube1312 yes the $300 mustang seat is worth every penny! Just sold mine today 2006 vtx1300R w only 11k miles excellent condition I’m gonna miss her I miss her already 🥺
@@lstruggy how much you sell it 4...I'm looking to get 1
I have a 2009 VTX 1300R with 4500 miles on it and looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. I used a 2" hole saw and removed the baffles from the factory exhaust and installed new dyna jets, it sounds great. Awesome bike!
Awesome motorcycle I have an 05 vtx retro that was originally that color. I bought it wrecked no frame or neck damage. Been riding it for 5 years now," absolutely no mechanical or riding problems! I put tires and brakes on once a year and keep the oil changed.
I own a 2004 1300c (15,500)... best bike ever!
im getting a 1300c, Best looking VTX IMO.
I remember the Honda slogan from the 1960s. "You meet the nicest people on a Honda." Yea, I had a Honda too.
I owned an ‘02 Yamaha 1100, very similar bike. It was thrashed; I had to take Al foil with H20 and scrub the rust off the wheels and spokes, pitting, frame had been drug, 20,000 miles-even running lean with the Cobras, started up every time in all weather conditions. I waxed and waxed until I brought it back to life. I stripped everything off: the passenger seat, windshield, bags. I never had one single problem and sold it for what I had purchased it for years later. These are the best bang for your buck, I just hated the worn out suspension and the air-cooled engine would roast your legs in summer traffic. I could only imagine how this example would ride. You will never break down if it is like my Yamaha, and will hold its value. Fun tv as always, thank you Kaplan Cycles
I like the Vance & Hines exhaust sound, I have them on my 07 Vtx 1300 r.
My 06 1300c has 8500 miles. same color. It goes out today for pipes, air cleaner, and jets. It'll be tuned by Rob's dyno in MA
How did it turn out? Any additional power?
What a gorgoues bike. I've owned 8 Hondas and this was my favorite back from 2006 to 2011. Right now I am yearning and looking for another. Just an all around great bike to ride and of course Honda reliablity. Such a shame they closed down the Marysville, OH motorcycle plant, now just a warehouse for Honda automotive (actually a client of mine) and except for the 750 shadow, have exited the cruiser market.
those are great bikes. Looks like the T so average retail would be right around $4,400 (+/-)
i know I am pretty off topic but do anybody know a good place to stream new tv shows online?
@Gunnar Vance I use flixportal. Just search on google for it :)
@Dustin Corey Thank you, signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it !
bought an 07 vtx 1300 R with 4.2k miles on it and was garage kept. Beautiful bike, worth every penny, havent had any problems with it in the past 2 months ive had it haha (not long at all) Really love the bike. It was a great purchase for the soullll.
RIDE 365 !!!! Kaplan cycles !!
im down to ride 364 missed 10 so far!
Wonder what you gave the old guy for it?? And then what did you sell it for?? VTX is a Great Bike, Honda should be building them still! Fuel injected ! Ibet they would be Selling them Left and right!
Buying a 2009 12,000 miles next week. My buddy has one with 80,000mi no problems at all..!
I’m supposed to purchase one tomorrow 09. How do you like it ?
Great information, my vtx 1300 has Vance & Hines pipes and they dyno tuned it so I've never used the choke and it never back fires or pops in which I kinda wished it would pop on deceleration
Super awesome, looking at getting a 2003 vtx 1300 Chicago international trike conversion, 30000 miles, anyone ever delt with one, nice video thanks
Cool. I found 2004 with 8500 km. Beautiful bikes. Look forward to many years of cruises. Beautiful
Great bike. This is the result of another Honda cruiser built like it will last with comfort and styling that shows. The VTX line up are great bikes, especially the 1300. They should still make it, but they replaced with what they call a factory chopper with the new FURY. What a joke. It's fuel injected but only has 53 HP? (the 1300 VTX has 74 HP) One of Hondas best looking bike in my opinion. The Fury, not so much.
"More wax than a candle" Kaplan Classic!
Love the fact Kaplan is riding around with what appears to be a Ruger GP100 Match Champion with his cruiser. F****** love this guy
Yes , thank you! ML&R
so cobra pipes sound good on any other bike video but a honda vtx 1300 lol
haha! when he said that about the Cobra pipes, I immediately wondered how many other videos he said something like, "great bike... has the Cobra pipes on it and sounds AMAZING,..."
멋있습니다!
I have a 1300R with 5500 miles .I need a mechanic .
Carbs cleaned already,starter button went weak,what to do,Im getting old at 60,mine has hardly touched 65mph.
You get your bike fixed
Open the power switch casing and just clean the contact area underneath the switch problem solved!
really bright headlight on that bike... wondering if it's an LED conversion
Ask for vtx 1300 how match
What is that on your hip, a Smith&Wesson?
Reuger
Very nice
Nice bike, great video.👍👍❤️
How tall are you? I’m 6ft and have yet to sit on a 1300 and thinking of picking one up. Not sure if I’m too tall for it.
6 2
Who’s Jeff?
What is your opinion on foreign motorcycles 🏍 🤔.
Honda vtx)))
Cuánto cuesta la moto vtx1300cc 2008
Why does the title say Yamaha when it’s a Honda?
I would still rather have a Yamaha any day their just as reliable as a Honda.
YAMAHA vtx1300...
It is a Honda
👍🔥
My biggest mistake was selling mine
Lovely bike, but saw this too late. In the words of a popular Cher hit, "If I could turn back time."
Honda not a Yamaha. Lol
we are extra tired and stupid today!
I never had a problem with a Yamaha at least nothing serious.
In Texas I ride a shadow 1100 honda and i drink shiner beer. The pig headed harley guys can ride their harleys and drink bud light. They always rease us guys about our japaneese bikes. So. He who laughs first doesnt always laugh last. Ha ha lol
