    I had an 1800C and recently also bought the 1800N. My girlfriend has a 1300R she now wants after riding my Neo a Neo of her own. Also I have to mention we are all VTX lovers / owners in the family. Her father has an 1800R her sister has a 1300R her brother-in-law has a 1300C and her nephew bought my 1800C. All great bikes! Go Honda 😆

      I have the same bike. My only complaint is how wide the tank is right in front of the seat. My thighs touch and it get uncomfortable after a while

    I have an 05 VTX 1300C, the best in my book. Not overdone or spoke rims. Best bike I’ve ever owned. I have 66,000 on mine. All Hwy miles

      I don't disagree. Great bikes for the price. Decent power, very comfortable, and great on the hwy. Plus they are easy to fix if anything goes wrong, cheap to fix, and lot of aftermarket parts.

      I love Harley I just never wanted to afford one . I see a lot of thefts and damage done to them by jealous folk. my Honda is super nice but its not a high retail machine. and a little road damage never hurts an old Honda.. mine has a few scratches and a bit high mileage but that's ok it rides like it brand new

    I bought an 03 VTX 1300 off my dad a few years ago. It has Vance and Hines pipes on it and he has adjusted the throttle cable to be a little bit heavy. Sounds absolutely amazing.
    I also put a set of 18" apes on it because I'm obnoxious.
    I've only ridden a few other cruisers but nothing has come close to that Honda.

    I have a few questions:
    I'm 6'2" 250 and my wife is 5'6" 140. Would it pull us both okay?
    With it only having 5 gears how bad is it wound up at 70mph on the highway?
    Is it liquid or air cooled?

    • @lordofbiscuits1911
      @lordofbiscuits1911  Před 4 lety +4

      Bike rides great with that kind of weight overall. Bike will easily do 90+. And its water cooled.

      I would go with a Kawasaki 1500,it will do the job and you never have to adjust the valves like you have to on the Honda! Just my opinion! I have one and it is amazing,best sounding metric bike to me with cobra drag pipes and DK customs thunder torque inserts!

      Yeah it can be scary beginning to ride. Those roads I was on are really soft, so over time it creates two dips in the road where cars drive, so the best place to ride is on the left or right side of the lane
