2005 Honda VTX1300S review from United States of America
"Best in its category!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing.
General comments?
I looked at and rode everything out there from Aprilia to Victory, and the Honda VTX series bike, especially the Retro models, had what I was looking for. Power, torque, looks, styling, comfort and reliability.
The aftermarket parts market is unlimited and not over priced as bad as HD.
The bike itself has been flawless. 46 MPG with a 1300.
Everywhere I go folks comment on how nice it looks and sounds, and I picked it up used with 1000 miles for about $5000 US.
Best bike I've owned, and I have owned a lot of them!
