2003 Honda VTX1300S review from United States of America
"I plan to own this motorcycle until my knees won't hold it up anymore"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing has gone wrong that I haven't caused to happen myself.
General comments?
This motorcycle has plenty of power; I've never been left lacking as long I had the bike tuned correctly.
The VTX1300S/R models look good! And there is plenty of room to modify or accessorize the style to match your own, both with Honda and aftermarket products.
The stock seat can be uncomfortable, however there are many options to resolve this, from seat modification services, to custom seat pan solutions and aftermarket seats.
