Honda VTX1800C reviews

I've had three bikes so far and this is by far my favorite one out of all of them. It handles very good for a big bike and has lots of power. Show less

I've been a Harley rider my whole life...NO MORE!!!!! What a great bike. The power is unbelievable, the ride smooth and steady, the look is great. The Vance Haynes exhaust even sounds better than an HD. Honda, you rock, you are the true leader in cruisers. I don't know how you can top this, but I will be waiting to see. GREAT JOB!!!!!!

I was sorry that I got rid of my VT1100, but this bike is unbelievable. The acceleration takes your breathe away. Show less

This monster is powerful, sleek, and just a little bit top heavy. Below 75mph she doesn't want to run in 5th gear, just lugs along, pure awesome power. Great bike, and it looks like a motorcycle, sorry goldwing (I've had five), but they don't look like a motorcycle. Show less

Great in every respect. Purchased it with just under 5000 miles on it. Great handling, great looking, everything great... Show less

Recently (May) I purchased a 2004 magenta vtx 1800c. I just can't exaggerate how much I love this bike! I had my last Honda (an 1100 Shadow '86) for nearly 20 years. Other than maintenance (i.e., oil changes, tires,..etc.), I never had a problem in any way with the bike! Long story short, I was sold on Honda forever! I wanted a Valkyrie until I saw the vtx 1800... after that, all bets were off, that was the bike for me! The power, the look, the feel, it's all there and more! I'm sure I will have this bike for nearly 20 years as well! There isn't a Harley out there (unless it's had extensive "upgrades" to the motor) that can even smell my bike! VTX 1800 - #1!!! Show less

I'm a retired police officer and rode a little while on the Harley's that the dept had. I thought that big cruisers where slow and rumbly. This bike taught me different. The power almost scared me. The bike is very comfortable, and stylish. I would have liked the chrome on the tank to be real or atleast attached with more than teo sided tape, but the ride made up for that. I almost bought a smaller bike, but boy am I glad I didn't. It takes a little bit of a good steady hand when travelling at low speeds, almost as if the bike wants more. I have a '71 Honda cb750, and after riding this big bike my 750 feels like a scooter. I would recommend this cruiser to anyone. Great ride, and a lot of power. Show less

This is my first bike, and I figured why go small? So I bought this brand new 2004 1800C Rocket! This bike is beautiful and is so much fun to ride. I just picked it up yesterday and put 52 miles on it within the first two hours of around the neighborhood riding. It is a deep purple, a real head turner. Extremely well made and seems very reliable. Can't wait to go out after dinner and take it for a run. It wants to go! Show less

I've put over 5000 miles on my bike in the first handful of months and it gets better everytime I ride. I came from a 750 Ace and that doesn't even compare. The only thing this bike needs is a tach, but now that's stock in the 2005 model. It has a very smooth ride and great acceleration. I wouldn't trade it for anything in its class. Show less

I bought my bike in December of 2003 and could not wait for summer. Being it was new I did not want to take it out in the rain, but found some clear and cold days to ride and did. As soon as spring arrived and the weather got better, I was gone, on the road, trying to put as many miles on it as I could. It is addicting, the VTX1800 has so much power and rides very well for its size and weight. I have owned several bikes in the past, I have a Dyna Wide Glide that I never ride, because the VTX is so much fun to ride. No other bike that I have owned even compares. You will love this bike, I do however, recommend this bike for experienced riders only, because of its power and size. I would not recomend it for a rider just starting out. I hope this helps you!
