Welcome to the VTX 1800 club. Been riding for more than four decades, rode many different models, and the VTX 1800 has a character unlike any other bike. It'll be my last bike until I can't ride. Rubber side down, Kemosabe.
@istvanbalogh82542 жыл бұрын
I agree with you completely. This will be my last bike I’ll own .usually after a few months or so I flip my bikes for a decent profit then move onto another cycle from other metric bikes to of course Harleys. I’ve been lucky in buying cycles at great prices and on the average I manage to get net profits of $2500-3000 on each bike I’ve purchased over the past 5 years. Keep riding bro, and always remember this…. It’s not what you ride, it that you RIDE! Stay safe and blessed bro

Yep same here. I bought and flipped many bikes. And selling my 02 Honda VTX 1800N was the only bike I regretted selling, and my last bike. That was 7 yrs ago. Late summer, early fall days are when I missed it the most. Well, last weekend I just purchased a 2007 Honda VTX 1800R with a batwing. Man, I missed that power! And almost forgot there isn’t a gas gauge lol. I will see what’s out there.

Picked up a 2008 VTX1800 T3(Tourer model) this past summer with only 8.5K miles on it! Absolutely enjoy the heck out of cruising on this bike! All the VTX models look great and have allot of horsepower! I was able to go 190 miles (with reserve) on a trip. Maybe could have gone 200 miles but didn't want to risk pushing this beast, they're really heavy! Enjoy riding your VTX! You own a bike that's hard to come by and sought after by enthusiasts. Maybe 1 day Honda will realize how popular the VTX series is and come out with the VTX 2000!

I purchased my VTX 1800C with the factory black n red flame paint job which looks like a Custom paint job. My VTX is a 2006 with original owner who sadly passed away and the son didn’t ride so, him and his mom after a year of deciding to just keep it or sell it, they opted to sell it, lucky for me I was the only one that was willing to drive 120 miles to view the bike and told the seller I’m definitely interested and I’ll bring cash, his asking price was at $5200 but I had $3200 in one pocket and $2000 cash in my other pocket . When I seen the bike, it was like brand new with not one scratch on it, he had all the original receipts from the invoice when he purchased it from the Ohio Honda dealership to him having the engine dyno tuned with Vance and Hines pipes and K&N filter, and Bridgestone BT-020 200/60R16 Rear... which makes it handle and sound better Then my 2000 Harley Davidson Softail Springer, and that sounds sweet. I offered him $3200 cash and -- he excepted my offer. The bike had 17400 original miles on it 🎉🎉! Now my favorite bike I’ve owned thus far which is over 7 cycles from Harleys to Suzuki C90 boulevard. Harley Davidson Sportster/ road king road glide . Yamaha 1700cc bar none this Honda is my go to cycle now. The best deal I ever dreamt of having . Not sure why Honda discontinued this VTX CRUISER, all I know it’s one hell of a ride . Talk about being at the right place at the right time!! What a deal of a lifetime!!

In 2007 I bought an 05 1800N S3 brand new.. It had been sitting on my local Honda's showroom floor for a bit over 2 years.. Orig msrp was like $14,500 and I got it $4k off at $10,500.. No one was buying them at that time for some reason.. It was fast for a cruiser back then but after trying a couple street glides and letting them lower in value, I sold it in 2012 and got a street glide.. The fairing, gauges, radio, cruise control, abs, hard bags, and the sound.. That was the only thing I hated on the VTX was the sound.. I had V&H long shots and a nice intake & good tune, but just a horrible tractor sound.. It was noise, just not nice noise.. My harley with a cam sounds amazing.. When these still cost 5-8k bucks I would rather spend $8-10k on a nice bagger harley..

The M109 may look better but I've heard tons of complaints about the shifting feeling super clunky on them and jumping out of 2nd gear pretty often. I just picked up an 02' VTX 1800 the other day and it is a SERIOUS upgrade from my Suzuki C50 Boulevard. It also just reached only 20k miles today so I'm sure it's still got plenty of life left in it. I thought Harleys sounded cool before I got this beast (yes, it has Vance and Hines pipes), but the way this thing roars when you push it makes me giggle every time. These bikes are definitely a keeper!

@@tgmotorider.narratinglifeo3480 Not a big fan of the Fury styling. The spoked version of the 1300 and the 1800 retro are the ones I feel give you the most versatility. Not a fan of being a C shaped sail . It's as tiring as my previous sport bike, maybe more so.

ok so its between this and the 1200 vmax.. what has crazier torque especially in the lower end?

In all honesty the Vmax but the 1800 is cheaper and in my opinion looks better.

I had a 2008 VTX 1800 F1. The first 2 years I had it, I hated it. The last 4 years I had it, I loved it. Should have never sold it. My doesn’t Honda make it anymore? B/c they want u to buy that dogshit Fury or spend $25k on a Gold Wing - “the cheap one”. BAWHAHAHAHA!!! I traded my VTX for a 2014 Valkyrie, in 2015. I love the Valkyrie but I wish I still had the VTX, too.
