I'm 5'8", 150 pounds & have been riding my 1800 for over 6 years. This is my forever bike. Don't let the size & weight scare you away. I feel the bike handles much better than the 1300, which my dad owned. It has a lower center of gravity and corners like a dream; very responsive. The wind doesn't throw it around on the expressway like other bikes. The fuel injection is superior to the 1300's carb. I have two of them now & will never get rid of them.
I've been riding and buying bikes for decades, everything fromR6, Ninja's, and S40 thumpers, and 03' VTX1800R is definitely the hardest pulling, most bullet proof bike on the market, you cannot beat the price of these things! Ad to that, they're insanely over-engineered, and as reliable as a bike can get, they are Honda's after all :)
I bought a 2006 VTX 1300s as my first bike 2 months ago and I'm a 400 lb dude and I rides like a charm. Riding on the highway and in the streets with no issues nice and comfortable.
VTX are the best cruisers ever made by far, there's no doubt about that
Wrong! The first one was VTX 1800! The VTX 1300 was made as the cheaper version of 1800. They are two different, hard to compare bikes. The weight is nothing compared to engine construction. I have VTX 1800 and would never like to own 1300.
Theres no way i could ride the 1300 which is like a 4 cyl Cadillac 😂 1800 retro spoked wheels hollowed out pipes, mustang seat, garage kept for 20 years gingerly driven on weekends 1000 miles a year, that's what i got, the torque, the sound, water cooled, quiet shaft driven, all chrome showroom condition, it just needs LED headlights and all around LED upgrade, not happy with plastic chrome on headlight
Riding with sandals on is an exercise in ignorance.
I would rather hear Engine over 'music'.
i love the 1300 the bike rides nice and no fuel injection expense down the road.. twin cylinder and a single carb so you never have to sync carbs also... the bike is problem free
I'm 6'1", 290 and ride an 06 1300c. Never has it ever made me feel like it was too small for me.
I bought my ‘05 1300 about 8 weeks ago. I had only ridden 750s and smaller and I was a little intimidated by the size/weight but after a couple miles I was over it. I am 5’10” and 170ish and it’s the perfect bike for me. I absolutely love it.
I recognize Jeff! got me through my Statics class back in college. nice to see he's a bike guy too haha
I had a 1300 for awhile. Great bike. It just needed more range and a 6th gear. You have to look at what your buddies are riding when you go on a longer ride. My buddies were getting 300+ miles per tank on their Harley Tour bikes to my 130. Plus they could run all day in 6th gear and not have their hands buzzing at the end of the day.
My starter bike is Honda VTX 1300R 2007. I'm 5'8" 300lbs and I love this bike. Got it last year end of August rite before my class and have over 8,000 miles on it.
Well said about the carb rebuilt. I had issues when I let mine sit for two years without any fuel stabilizer. I sure had to undo the carb and replace one of the jets. I have had it since 2005 and I still love it like the day I brought her home. .
My 2007vtx1300r,,bought new ,still running strong .had carb jetted,,2 plugs per cylinder,,Vance Hines pipes,52 mpg.i have a new roadking,& 3 other bikes,vtx most reliable. Just add tires & fuel.
I've got a 1300c and have done a stage 2 upgrade love the bike..ride it in 450 mile trips ( one way ) often and has never given me a problem
I always wanted to know this stuff. Good video
I have a 2003 VTX1800R. I took it on a 5,700 mile road trip this year. It was a great bike out on the road. It also did well on the pig trail too. I just had mine dyno tuned. It is making 95HP at the rear wheel and 118ft-lbs of torque. It has a vance and hines exhaust and a kuryakyn velociraptor air cleaner. The tuner is a power commander V. If you want to go on road trips the 1800 will eat up the miles. I averaged over 500 miles a day. My first 29 hours I did just over 1,500 miles. The Mustang seat snd progressive shocks helped a great deal.
Really happy with the 1800. I wasn’t opposed to the 1300 but the little things like the clutch and a little more ponies helps when you’re riding two up.
