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!

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.

I have an 07 Vtx1300c and absolutely love it more than the Harley I owned before it.

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.

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.

Old video, but still giving! A magnificent machine, thanks for documenting...

That sounds way better than any Harley I've ever heard...sounds like a bike should sound.

Over 45k miles on my 03 1800. No issues with it at all. Rolling like it’s new.

Thank you for being one of few people who tell viewers their height and weight!

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 KZfaq is a blessing.

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.

Just bought one today. Great video!

Nice bike, thanks for taking us on a ride!

I once owned a 2005 1800 F3 . Wow! Great bike! Gobs of torque!

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

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!

maybe it's just me, but that exhaust... sounds beautiful!!

I bought mine last year with 1800 miles on the clock love it

Your commentary had me laughing that whole ride! “Could fit 7 motorcycles in that garage” 🤣

I have an 06 VTX and I love it!!

I just bought an ‘05 with 21k miles. I love it.

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

Thanks for sharing the ride. 👍👍

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!!

Nice bike - I love mine !

I just installed the cobra slashdowns on my Honda interstate. Love the ride, power, and sound of this bike. Maintenance is easy. What more could you ask for.

i just bought one recently for 2500 with 13k miles i love it.

Absolutely Let's See Your Bikes

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

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

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.😎

Beautiful bike. I'm looking at a 2004 with 9k miles on it right now.

She’s a beautiful bike

very good bike

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

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.

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

love my 1300... looking to get the 1800 once I sell one of my other bikes, definitely won't be the 1300😂

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!

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.

Would you say it has more power than a 1999 HD softail evo with the 1340 ccm engine?

I miss this bike 1300vtx

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

An 1800, a rocket and more!

I wish honda would come out the vtx line up again... i think it would be a huge hit...

Completing my basic rider course looking to purchase one of these as my first bike

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.

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?

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

I have a 03 1300s and it has 90k on it and I will garuntee another 90k. Oil changes and plugs that's it.

Nice video bud

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 .?

I love that color!! What size back tire is on that? Mine has the 240

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

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.

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 saw that you had a phantom too, which one would you recommend for someone coming from a 450cc dirt bike?

Definitely should

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.

How is the VTX 1300 for interstate speeds, say 2-3 hours at a time.

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 .

Love the color. I’m serious thinking of getting me aVTX 1300 or 1800. If I can find one for around 5-6 grand

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.

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??

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

Would like one

How reliable is this bike ?

Hard to find video's of this bike..maintenance etc...

Just got an 07 1300R with 2,700 miles for $2,500.

do you have a link for that front pouch 👝 I have an 04

If Honda would only have NOT put dem turbine wheels on 'em.

The C stands for chain drive I believe.

I enjoyed the ride I've had the R & C model. Traded for a Challenger. Looking to replace. Thanks

Isn't the C model fuel injected ?

If u had to choose one bike.... Wich one would u choose ???

I stand corrected! A Valkry, not a rocket.

I see you like your Hondas! Me 2😊

In my opinion the 1300 handles better than the 1800 but i live in ark

I buying a Honda Sabre VT 1300 2010 with 4070 miles. It my first cruiser. I've only rode sport bikes.

I have 2007 vtx 1300 r has only 5700 miles 5 grand

What do you mean ..reliable ridiculous?
