“2005 Honda VTX 1300 R”

written by on 27/04/2013

I bought this bike used. I installed Samson Canons exhaust and did not need to re-jet the carburetor. Went from too quiet to perfect. Throttle response is unbelievable excellent. Less then a mile you can turn the choke off when cold. I have never used the choke out completely and have recently been starting without the choke as I found out it is not needed. Motor has a lot of torque, high gear ratio, no problem riding 30 mph in 5th gear, it is a lot faster then I thought it would be. Bike has some weight, but very easy to manage. It has an excellent riding position, heal-toe shifter with floor board. I can only compare this to a lot of different Harley-Davidson's I have driven and would compare this to the Fat Boy with 1450cc motor. The VTX feels faster and sounds pretty close. More wind turbulence on the VTX (you will need a windshield, good goggles or helmet with a shield). This bike should easily 100,000 miles without any problem. A couple times I took-off hard & the rear wheel will break loose some times so you need to watch the type of road surface. I could only imagine how the VTX 1800 would be like.
I am not sure I would recommend this size bike to a 1st time rider unless the person was very large in size.
