Honda VTX 1800 Motorcycle reviews

This is a reliable and fun bike to ride. Easy and in expensive to maintain. Lots of power and comfortable. The stock seat is a bit uncomfortable after about 45 minutes so I recommend buying one with an aftermarket seat, or purchasing your own. Show less

Bought this bike six months ago, in December…not the best riding weather for TX. I’ve ridden 200-300 miles so far. Been taking it slow as this is my first motorcycle to own. Rode my buddy’s XR 500 dirt bike quite a bit in my late teens, so let’s get a street bike! I’m a big guy, 6’5” 340lbs. So I looked for a big bike. My size 17 foot has had some challenges finding a good home on the right peg while not accidentally riding the brake pedal. It came with a hyper charger so the very top of my right calf, just under my knee hits the intake. But once I acclimated myself to the leg/feet ergonomics I must say it is an exhilarating ride. I haven’t yet had the back tire chirp on me but then I’m not exactly popping the clutch either…could be weight related. It does however haul ass when the throttle is twisted! I wish it were a bit more nimble, but again I weigh 340, so what am I going to fit on that I can just flick the back end around for maneuvers. At this point I love this bike. Show less

Well I have had this bike for a few weeks and had the opportunity to ride it a few times. My first tank was 42 mpg. Not bad for a machine that still needs to be broke in! Other than the quiet pipes I love it. I added the Ultimate Low Rider Seat, the neo back rest and performance windshield and it looks awesome! I have had people drool over it and they were upset that they bought a smaller bike and paid the same amount! Show less

Yeah - this bike will take your breath away! First of all - the 'N' model is rare and I think the look of that rear fender makes it one of the best looking cruisers available. Order the BLUE paint, and people will come over and comment about the bike EVERY time you go out. Twist deep into the throttle and this bike pulls like a jet taking off at full power. The adreneline rush from that - is heart-pounding addictive!! And she has fantastic brakes to match. The hydraulic clutch is so easy to pull that your friends will be jealous if they try it, and it feather's very easily. Size? It's HUGE, and that has advantages and disadvantages. It comfortably loafs on the highway, but the surprise is how well it handles. Point it and lean and she goes exactly where you look, and returns to upright with no effort at all. Slow speed manuveurs take serious practice (practicing the exercises in RIDE LIKE A PRO DVD by Jerry Paladino took care of that). The bike feels (and is) very top heavy. BUT - once you get used to it and get used to handling the size of the bike, you don't notice it anymore. Like any other motorcycle the stock seat needs upgrading, but other than that the bike is very comfortable. I made it 'perfect' for me with the upgrades listed below. Bottom line: TOO MUCH FUN!!!!
