Honda VTX1300C reviews

After giving much thought to my new bike (I have an 03 VFR 800), I settled on the 1300C. My choices were the 1800F or C, the 1300C or the 919. Given the difficulty in finding a 919, that was ruled out fairly quickly. Then came the hard part: given my size, I immediately thought the bigger bike was for me. After having ridden both of these bikes, I chose right: the 1300. It handles better, has plenty of power and has the same look as the 1800. To top it all off, I paid less and get better gas mileage (42 mpg rating)! This bike is worth every penny! Unless you absolutely HAVE to have the biggest & the best, go with the 1300. Show less

This is my 1st bike that I've owned and I am completly in love with it. The sport cruiser is a must have style for those getting into riding and the VTX 1300C is a must. I bought this bike and can't stay off her. The only down side is the gear shift clunk when shifting and exhaust, otherwise this is a sweet machine and I'm the envy of all my friends when I role up!

This is my first bike and have been very happy with it. Has plenty of power, handles well, looks great, and have not had any problems with it at all. The motor runs so well I have not used the choke yet, even if sat a few days. Just hit the start button and it's running. Thanks Rockwall Honda for recommending the VTX1300. Sales and service was great. Show less

After riding a friends 2005 VTX 1300 I found the bike that I was always looking for. The 2006 VTX 1300 is the perfect combination of old school styling, high tech performance and handling. Show less

I have now owned this bike 2 years and have taken it from CT to Bar Harbor ME, Montauk L.I., and various states in and around New England. Has never not started, stalled, made any unusual noises except for the 1st to 2nd gear clunk and back. Common to these bikes but eventually goes away according to the manufacturer. I love the bike and would never trade it except maybe for a newer one. Show less

This is a great bike. It is my first street bike, and probably my last. I purchased it in June and have ridden it every day. The bike is very comfortable and easy to maneuver. My friend has a 2004 Harley road king and I took that for a ride, what a disappointment. That made me feel even better about the VTX. This is truly a great bike with plenty of power on tap when you need it. Show less

I have owned all kinds of bikes but this has got to be hands down the best engineered. It has stability and control well beyond what you would expect for a large v-twin. Show less

I bought this bike in Sept. 2004 (20 months) and have 18,800+ miles. The secret to getting a great ride came about when I purchased the "Ultimate Mid-rider" seats for me and my wife. I have added a few accessories and enjoy riding on the winding roads going north of Hot Springs and the bike is easy to handle in town driving. Show less

One of the best bikes I've ever owned what a ride, and the speed and handling is just out of this world. The first time I took the bike out it rained hard and this bike handled like it was on dry road. Love my baby!! Show less

Just bought my '05 VTX1300R in March & can't stay off of it. I have been riding for more than 30 years and have owned dozens of motorcycles, but none has been as pleasurable to own as this one. I commute to work on it as often as possible. I take day trips on weekends. I even take short rides in the evenings (after commuting 40 miles from work!). This bike has the feel, the power, the comfort, and the looks, that make for an exceptional riding/ownership experience. Show less
