The VTX has more than enough power for me to ride highways or back-roads without worrying about keeping up with traffic! It handles well and holds the road very well when faced with windblasts from trucks!
I also love the classic styling of this bike. It weighs in at somewhere over 720 lbs wet, but feels lighter than it is because it is well-balanced. Most people have needed to switch their stock seat out, but I have been comfortable with it for now. I suppose after I do some longer trips, I might reconsider, but for now I am comfortable.
The bike is a cold-natured beast. It needs to be warmed up before it is happy. Once warmed up, it runs beautifully and happily. Most of the competition is fuel-injected, but I have no issues without it. The only downside for me is not being able to simply start up and ride away immediately, but as I said, it doesn't bother me at all.
I checked out many different bikes before buying this one. I felt that this bike was the best overall bike, most comfortable and best value for me.
I am extremely happy with my choice. If I were walking in to buy another bike today, I wouldn't hesitate to pick this bike up a second time!
Upgrades/Accessories: Memphis Shades windshield, Honda sissy bar and leather saddlebags. Plan on adding lots more in the future as there are many mods for this bike!
