Honda VTX1800C Performance Cruiser reviews

This is the best bike I have ever owned....I have had several,I usually buy a bike after looking for a while for the best deal, enjoy for a little bet (a few months or so) then flip them. I have had a Ninja, FJR 1300 Star 1100 and others (I really enjoyed them all)But this bike I am holding on to... I highly recommend it,the torque is incredible it reaches 60 in about 3.5 seconds. It is a blast at the light to feel that power and knowing that you can break free of 99% of any vehicle on the road,(not that I drive like a maniac)but sometimes you want to break loose of the traffic and have some fun. I also have never had a mechanical problem with this bike it is extremely dependable .Like one of the members of my bike group said:All you need to no is gas and oil... Show less

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

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 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

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 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

Heavy but Nimble I have owned my '06 VTX 1800F Spec 3 for over a year and have loved every minute of it. Those who say it has power are severely underestimating this machine. This thing is a brute and nothing to date has been able to keep up. It eats other bikes for lunch, and you don't need to be a mechanic to own one. Just fuel it up and go. But be ready for the gas bill, because nobody can ride this thing with reservation. The amount of power this monster has is insane! The first time I got on the throttle I nearly fell off. I was not expecting that much torque. So if you're brave enough, go buy one and don't waste another day riding anything else. Reliability is top notch! Push the start button and it growls to life. Idle is smooth with a slight lope. You better bring ear plugs with the Vance and Hines Big Shots! My rear does get a little sore though after about an hour. I am still trying to decide what seat to buy. But between the looks, power and shear performance, this bike rocks. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. What are you waiting for? Join the fun!
