Honda VTX1800 Retro Spoke Cruiser reviews

This bike is an extremely dependable beast. When I say beast,I mean it can easily carry myself, my wife, and four day's worth of clothes and supplies at 80 mph hour after hour down the highway. It's a heavy ride! You've got to get used to riding slowly through parking lots.It's also not particularly fuel friendly either.About 150 miles per tank, then it's time for gas, and a coffee.There is nothing more satisfying than entering a hi-way, rolling on the power, and going from whatever to 90 in seconds!Nothing ever wrong except for tires and brakes in 10 years!!! Did you read that Harley riders!I bought this bike to ride,not show off.I ride every day in the Summer, and never wast $$ at the shop.All hail Honda!! Show less

It's a great bike with plenty of power. It has a Champion Trike kit that is great and sleek. I graded comfort down due to handle bars, but plan to get risers, and bars if needed. It's a great bike for the money instead of the 30 grand for Goldwings. If you plan to be on road trips a lot, spend the extra money. I trailer mine, then go riding. Show less

I have a 2006 that I bought a few months ago. My wife and I are in love. I have added a Batwing fairing with stereo, Cobra accessories and saddle bags. Show less

I love this bike. I can't stay off it. Every chance I get, I go for a ride. I can't complain about anything on this bike. If anyone does, they don't know how great this bike is and compared to Harley as much of it is made in the USA. Show less

This is an excellent ride especially when you hit the highway. It's better than any other Harley or Kawasaki I have ridden. Show less

Wow where to start? Raw power. I call mine The Beast! I bought mine used with 8,000 miles. The only upgrade added was the seats. I have short legs, my inseam is 28 inches to give you an idea. I have no problem at stops, both feet flat on the ground. I receive compliments/stares every ride. Handles like a dream. Show less

Typical Honda-top notch fit and finish, rock solid handling, smooth fueling and good looks. It's also easy to work on doing self-maintenance activities like crank case oil and the final drive. I wanted a V-twin for the type of power delivery it gives. This machine gives you plenty of power delivery; more than you'll ever need legally. As I left the dealer on my first ride I couldn't believe how it pulled in every gear. Comfort is a bit down for me just because of the forward location of the floor boards rather than directly under me. I plan to cut off the heel shift peg so I can use the entire floor board on that side. The seat is a little thin but for around 100 mile ride it's no problem. It would lean over farther if the floor boards didn't scrape. Handling in the canyons around here is superb. At speed, 110mph, it's rock solid. I don't have that many miles but no problems at all. Bought it last November as a left over new bike; great deal and big bang for the buck. Show less

I've taken long trips through the mountains and across the prairies and this bike won't quit. The fuel injection allows this bike to scream down the road at any elevation. For the price and performance I don't know how I could ever match it again. This after 28,000 miles of every extreme condition and speed there is. Show less

After shopping for 2 years for the perfect bike, I found a sweet deal on a 3 yr. leftover '03 1800R. I know, how lucky is that? I had looked at several makes and models but being a man of large stature, the 1800 fit better by far. The performance is unsurpassed. I've only put 5k on it but haven't had the first worry about anything to do with the reliability or quality of the bike. And for comfort, amazing. It's great for the big boys out there. If I had 5 thumbs, they would all be up for this one. Show less

I bought my 2004 VTX 1300 used in early April 2007. It only had 1497 miles on it when I picked it up! It's a great bike but I'm not crazy about the plastic chrome and the motor sounds like it has a little rattle in the front. I don't know if this is normal or not! Over all, it has plenty of power and rides great. Show less
