Thanks to all my subscribers out there!
Stay tuned tons of content coming !
Got a 2005 VTX 1300R. I'm the same size as the submitter. My bike has 56,XXX mile and runs great! Harley owner said it would go 100,XXX miles, no problem, and his ride won't. I keep the service up to date and the bike garaged and covered. Great bike.
That sounds way better than any Harley I've ever heard...sounds like a bike should sound.
Watching this as I just purchased the same bike. Paid 3800 for it...21k miles on it. It's also my 1st bike. Some may say it's too big for a 1st bike, but I'm a big guy. Can't wait to really learn how to ride, so I can fully enjoy the bike!
Thanks for watching and subscribe! Last year i had 7bikes at the same time, but now im down to 3. Stay tuned!
I've owned several motorcycles, and I just bought a Candy blue 06 VTX 1300r with 19,800 miles on it, $3,500 last month. Cobra pipes, fairing with Sony CD player & speakers, White wall tires. Absolutely gorgous bike, runs & sounds amazing. They really are awesome bikes
I’m wanting to buy this same bike for 4500 with 11k miles, I’m 5’6 / 165 lbs is it too big for my first bike?
I don't think so it all depends on your riding skills and confidence but you should good !!! 💯
I just purchased same bike color and all lol paid 2,000 with 12,000 miles also my first bike
Thank you for being one of few people who tell viewers their height and weight!
I once owned a 2005 1800 F3 . Wow! Great bike! Gobs of torque!
I almost bought one of these in the spring, passed on it. 1month ago my neighbor offered his 1 owner 2002 VTX1800R, immaculate, new tires+brakes, for 3 grand. It's way more fun than my Yamaha Zuma and almost as fun as 1st generation V-Max 😊. I subscribed. The variety of m/c channels on RUclips is a blessing.
Thanks for watching and stay tuned! I ordered a cool e bike for my channel too!
I have a 1300 r when I first rode it it felt huge and heavy after awhile I got comfortable with it the low center of gravity is really nice I weigh 115 lbs and 5'8 the bike flys with me on it I put a jet kit 58/195 cobra long shots and gutter the air box it's the biggest bike I have ever owned it's a nice bike
Over 45k miles on my 03 1800. No issues with it at all. Rolling like it’s new.
Thanks for watching and subscribe!
I bought a nice 2003 vtx 1300 s with 15k on the clock. I got it for $2600. It has about $3000 of extras. So I basically paid for the extras and got the bike for free.
It's a very nice and extremely reliable bike. I have a gut feeling I will keep it for a very long time.
Thanks for watching and subscribe! Id buy another one for that price
I have a chance to get an 06 with 6k miles, for $2500. I’m debating but have never owned a bike before, you think it’s a good first bike? I’m 6’3 and 225
@@jeremyking3986 yesssss
I watched your videos and remember exactly how your garage closes :). I own the VTX1300 for the fourth season, I bought it without a body kit, installed everything that is possible and not necessary on it. this season I'll take everything off, in the city you don't need a motorcycle the size of a sedan;). I want to ride and not stand in traffic jams. Thanks for your videos, VTX in its purest form is beautiful.
Thanks for watching and subscribe, i have 2 vtx1300 and a Suzuki m50 too
maybe it's just me, but that exhaust... sounds beautiful!!
Thanks for watching and subscribe! Yeah it was a really nice bike. Sadly i sold it, check out the walkaround video of it on the night i sold it
First question...what do you do for a living?
great video and beautiful bike. I've owned a vtx1300 before and it was the perfect "in between" bike. Did city commute and road trips equally well, not great but it's solid at both. They last forever, it was consistently my most reliable bike as my Harley's were always in the shop.
Thanks for watching and subscribe!
Check out all my bikes on my channel!
I have an 07 Vtx1300c and absolutely love it more than the Harley I owned before it.
Old video, but still giving! A magnificent machine, thanks for documenting...
love my 05 1300 R, had it over a year, came with V&H big shots, Im leaving the baffles, did the airbox decap, and it deepened the note
Thanks for watching and subscribe. I have 2 vtx1300s , a 2006 and a 2008 ! I like my 2006 better
Great video! Stock exhaust on my ‘06 - love the look and sound of yours! Cobra Slashdowns - thanks Chauto! Maybe someday I can ride as smooth as you too!
Thanks for watching and subscribe!
Stay tuned!
I have the same bike. Same year same Cobra exhaust. If tuned right, they run like a cat on fire!! I love mine and will probably never sell it. Got it for $3300 with 13000 miles on it. Just broke in!!
Your commentary had me laughing that whole ride! “Could fit 7 motorcycles in that garage” 🤣
Thanks for watching and subscribe! I actually had 7 motorcycles back when i made this video!
I bought mine last year with 1800 miles on the clock love it

Thanks for watching and subscribe!
I wish i had those!!
Thanks for sharing the ride. 👍👍

Nice bike - I love mine !
You can't beat a 1300 vtx carb sound, you might out run the 1300 with a 1800, but you can't beat the 1300. I own a 1300 r 07, Vance & Hines, awesome bike love it, wouldn't trade it for anything.
1:39 gave ya a little hiccup there.
I just had to back my mixture out about ¾ turn because of the hiccups.
👍 good looking and sounding bike.
If ya give it just a smidge more fuel she'll give ya a little more of what you're looking for

Thank for sharing I'm looking in to getting a entry level cruiser ben riding duelsport long time xl500 xl600 on 650l now this looks like good starter for me I'm in so cal there some 1300 and 1800 in my price range just leaning to the 1300 the 100 pounds less I'm used to lot less power so I think I'd be happy theyr my question since you have both is fuel economy I hear the 1800 uses lot gas compared to the 1300 we have lot of desert going east with long stretches like in AZ and Texas
Thanks for watching and subscribe!
Yes the vtx1300 will do a little better on gas, but the bigger difference is definitely the weight felt (because both bikes are well designed, but the 1800 is a bit taller so you will definitely feel that weight). You will definitely get nice bang for your buck with the vtx1300 just make sure is nice condition
i just bought one recently for 2500 with 13k miles i love it.
Thanks for watching and subscribe! Thats a good deal if its in good condition
@@Drive315 was in decent shape only thing i had to was replace the petcock because of leaking and someone decided to spraypaint the chrome black(doesnt look bad) but its not let me down yet.
I have a Honda Stateline 2015 will be adding bags. Batwing and pipes in the near future my others bike is a 2005 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad 1600 with a batwing and Vance & Hines cruisers . They fit the way I like to ride but they are different from one another.😎
Thanks for watching and subscribe! I will be buying more bikes
Beautiful bike. I'm looking at a 2004 with 9k miles on it right now.
Do it, they're great. I have the exact same year
I liked the video even 1 yr later, I'm about to pick up a 2007 VTX 1300R with 3" pipes Re-jetted Carb and has been Dyna-Tuned, Has a Black Batwing Motorcycle Windshield Wind Deflector with lower side wings and Viking Saddle bags with a Ultimate Plain VTX 1300 R/S/T Lowrider Seat, Passenger Seat, Driver Backrest and Sissy Bar Pad. And the heal to toe shifting I look forward in learning, with wind deflectors on the highway bars to keep out the cold. 32,633 miles 1 owner VIN checked clean title $3,500 I'm 6'4" 240lbs over 60
Thanks for watching and subscribe! I really liked this red one, but i have the same bike but yellow. Check it out on my channel ive made videos with the yellow one as well (its a single seater with vance and hines pipes, 2008 model year)
You got a good price, enjoy.
@@mattdonna9677 Oh I am She cruise's at 75-80mph for 203 miles no problem, I bought her in Oregon and drove her Back to California. Very Reliable. BUT LOUD.
love my 1300... looking to get the 1800 once I sell one of my other bikes, definitely won't be the 1300😂
What’s up man! I’ve been watching your videos I’m local as well. Cool watching you rip around I’ve always wanted to get a bike to go riding with my old man. Been leaning towards a Honda! Just spun out on what to get for my first
5 of my 7 bikes are for sale so if you want one of my bikes you can buy them. I recommend my honda vtx1300 (phenomenal bikes)
@@Drive315 looks like a nice easy ride. What else are you selling?
Vtx1300 , suzuki m50, vtx1800 and valkyrie
very good bike
It sure is, thanks for watching and subscribe!
WOW, you are DEFINITELY A HONDA GUY. GREAT CHOICES OF MODELS. THE 1300VTX ARE GREAT LIGHT HEAVY WEIGHTS. THE VALKYRIE IS A REAL HEAVYWEIGHT. THEN for the UNBRIDLED MUSCLE BIKE THAT 1800VTX IS PERFECT FOR CRUISING FAST. ONLY thing I NOTICE ON THAT 1300C IS IT LOOKS LIKE MAYBE YOUR FORKS HAVE A BIT OF A BEND. LEFT GRIP JUST APPEARS to be IN FRONT OF THE RIGHT. COULD JUST BE THE ROAD SURFACE, BUT CHECK IT OUT. THAT WILL REALLY MESS WITH YOUR STEERING AND WEAR OUT A TIRE FAST. I COULD BE WRONG, BUT WORTH CHECKING IT OUT. YOU CLEARLY KNOW ABOUT BIKES. Just wanted to let you know. Great group of bikes you have. Stay safe buddy.
Thanks for watching and subscribe! I actually have a Suzuki m50 now as well, but yes hondas are the higher quality machines
Absolutely Let's See Your Bikes
Thanks for watching and subscribe! Now im down to 3 bikes!
Just got an 07 1300R with 2,700 miles for $2,500.
Would you say it has more power than a 1999 HD softail evo with the 1340 ccm engine?
She’s a beautiful bike
Thanks for watching and subscribe! Shes for sale check out my video about that
@@Drive315 where are you located?
What do you guys use for your helmets? With no shield the wind is HOWLING in my helmet... mind you it's a basic Bell but I am looking to invest in something better but before I drop $800+ I'd like to make sure it's worth it!
Ok just picked one like this up but it’s the r/s and it’s been about two years since it last started. Do you think it will start once I replace the wiring harness and clean the carburetor and replace the battery or do you think the motor has probably already seized up and do you think the gas tank is rusted on the inside considering that the previous owner always left a little bit of fuel to start it and the fuel line was left in the flow (on) position? Or do you think it will still run?
Thanks for watching and subscribe! That motor definitely is still good, probably just gotta put good new gas in it, and spray some starter fluid/carb cleaner in the carburetor… if that doesn’t work then go on to do more things like take out the carburetor
I have a 03 1300s and it has 90k on it and I will garuntee another 90k. Oil changes and plugs that's it.
Thanks for watching and subscribe!
Hi , as they don’t come with ABS do you think it’s easy to handle under hard braking or ok on rainy day , I live in Glasgow Scotland and it’s rain every second day . Thanks
Thanks for watching and subscribe, i thing as long as you drive slower and with a bit extra distance between other drivers you will be fine
I have the exact bike myself with only 20000 miles. mine tops out at 195 km ,It sat for 8 yrs in a warm garage unused
The colour is nice,probably custom
What’s the make and model of the pipes
Thinking of buying 06’ vtx
Need tilted floor boards ,and heel toe shifter
Any recommendations .?
Thanks for watching and subscribe!
That is a sweet ride. The color and exhaust is awesome. I just picked up one myself. 2004 with just under 9k on it. Everything original. Just have to polish the wheels. What exhaust do you have on there? Thinking of getting one, but then again was thinking of keeping everything stock.
Thanks for watching and subscribe!
I wish honda would come out the vtx line up again... i think it would be a huge hit...
I love that color!! What size back tire is on that? Mine has the 240
Thanks for watching and subscribe! The rear tire on mine was a 170 width
Completing my basic rider course looking to purchase one of these as my first bike
Any updates? What bike did you get?
Would this be ok for a shorter rider? Roughly 5 ft 5. I'm just worried that I won't be able to reach the gear lever and rear brake
You will be fine
How reliable is this bike ?
What kind of exhaust is on it, I'm buying a 06 vtx 1300 r today, same color as yours, sweet. Dennis Roberts, Corydon Iowa.
Thanks for watching and subscribe. This bike has the cobra exhaust, i dont know which one but it sounds nice
I miss this bike 1300vtx
Thanks for watching and subscribe, i have 2 model vtx1300 motorcycles, this one and a yellow one
I hope it continues to be good to you. I have enjoyed an ‘06 C since I began riding in ‘06! It now has 49000 miles and still runs great. I’m about y to I ride it in Tail of the Dragon next week. Are your pipes Cobra? They sound like Kobe…
I tried to start it today and the battery quit on me… video coming soon! Thanks for watching and subscribe!
@@Drive315 will do.
Did you make it to the dragon?? If so how was it? I'm thinking about taking my bike on vacation this year and wanted to take my vtx 1300 c on the tail of the dragon.
@@larrywilliams9368 yes… the riding out there is superb. The Dragon is cool but other “rides” are more enjoyable as well. On the Dragon you are concentrating while most surrounding roads you can enjoy the views. Definitely go. We did not ride it crazy hard but no one passed us and many folks used the pull overs and allowed us to pass. Great experience… DO IT!
Nice video bud
Thanks for watching and subscribe!
@@Drive315 I've been looking at a vtx1300 but worried it might be too big for me
Last bike I had was about 15 years ago and was a 600 crotch rocket
And obviously was super light
Not sure if I should go above 1100.
You looked super comfy on it
But you also have 1800s so this is a step down for you
How is the VTX 1300 for interstate speeds, say 2-3 hours at a time.
Thanks for watching and subscribe! Its pretty good, I recommend having a windscreen if you want to go that long on the bike
Drive315 i am the processes of purchasing VTX 1300C but am 5 4 tall 320lbs will i be able to flat foot this bike and carry me well .
Thanks for watching and subscribe… i think you should be ok sitting on it, but the main problem might be swinging your leg over the seat
I've been looking at a 06 VTX1300 that I've seen at a dealership recently. Thing is, If I were to get it, it would be my first bike. I got my MC endorsement about 7 years ago to get me a bike, and just never got a bike. And honestly haven't been on a bike since the training class. A question I would like to ask is, in your opinion, would a VTX1300 make a good first bike? Or do you think it might be a bit much for a beginner with no riding experience? I'm 45 and been wanting a bike for quite some time. And of all the bikes that I've seen, my eye keeps coming back to these 1300's.
Thanks for watching and subscribe! The VTX1300 is one classy bike, and i like it so much that i bought 2 of them. I currently have the cherry color one and yellow one. And yes, the vtx1300 would be a great bike for you assuming you are not too small for it. Id say if you’re over 165lbs you should be able to handle the bike fine. Im in the upstate ny area and selling both my vtx1300 bikes
i got a vtx 1300 as my first and don't regret it at all. I think if i were to have gotten anything smaller i would have grown out of it quickly. had this bike and have been riding about a year now and it never really leaves me feeling like i want or really need more. plan on upgrading in the future even though i wouldn't really need to. all in all super solid, reliable, easy maintenance, and has plenty of power to keep you entertained.
We are very similar. I just bought an 06 1300c back in June. Hadn't ridden in over 20 years, and back then my experience was extremely limited. I'm a big guy, so I was suggested to start out on something kinda big. It will NOT feel like the little 250s they lend you at the course, but in just a short time, I've become very comfortable on mine. It's essentially a first bike for me, and I think it was an awesome choice. You should ride one if you can. See how comfortable you are. They're great bikes!
Love the color. I’m serious thinking of getting me aVTX 1300 or 1800. If I can find one for around 5-6 grand
Thanks for watching and subscribe! I have 2 vtx1300 for sale. In new york state
I live in Illinois
you can find them for around 3 grand actually. i got mine for 3500 a year ago and i love it
Drive 315 how much ur asking for??
@@hugolara7753,500$ to you for my 2002 VTX 1800R, Southern Indiana.
I am looking at one for $5,500 it’s a 2008 with 27,000 miles but it’s hooked up does not not anything custom pipes grips levers intake she’s a beauty just want to know if the price is to high??
Thanks for watching and subscribe, im selling mine for $4000.
Its not a terrible price for $5500, a little on the high side.
If any one knows where I can get a nice bike for a good price please let me know I am in Virginia thank you
I just paid 5500 for an 06 1300 c with less than 6k miles
I saw that you had a phantom too, which one would you recommend for someone coming from a 450cc dirt bike?
Thanks for watching and subscribe! The phantom will feel alot more like a dirt bike, but it you want something that has alot more power for the highway then i recommend the 1300.
Thank you for the reply. I’m worried about fitting on the shadow phantom 6’2 32 inch inseam, and secondly it not having enough power. It would be used as a daily commuter with a mix of freeway and city driving, and mainly back road cruises here in the PNW. Would like to 2 up with my wife every once in a while. Would be my first street motorcycle but have been on 450 dirt bikes for years which have loads of torque
A lot of my weekend riding would be on roads like the one in the video
Definitely should
Thanks for watching and subscribe! Definitely should what?
how's that compare to a shadow 1100? besides having 200cc more lol
been looking at a shadow 1100. but seeing this, it's a nice looking bike.
Thanks for watching and subscribe! Ive never ridden a shadow 1100, but every video review ive seen keeps saying that the vtx1300 is far superior. Check out all my bikes on my channel!
i have a 97 vt 1100 for sale $2500
@johnbraman depends on your riding style. 1100 can do a little highway riding but not for long periods, comfortably at least. The 1300 can handle long journeys at highway speeds , it also feels more solid, being a heavier bike
@@Freudianschlep Good info thanks. Ive got a 02 sabre 1100. We ride hwy's alot at 80-90mph. Im looking at the 1300s. Hoping they are better at those speeds. My 1100 is wound up pretty high lol
There we go,.,,,Got it up to 80, you say that like thats a feat to behold on this bike or any 1300cc bike, i mean i get what you mean but understand you said that like it was something special
Hard to find video's of this bike..maintenance etc...
Thanks for watching and subscribe! I actually have a yellow one now. For a while i had both this red one and the yellow one

I stand corrected! A Valkry, not a rocket.
Would like one
