Faults:

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.

Faults:

Front end wobble on deceleration. This was corrected with better neck bearings.

General Comments:

This bike is great value.

It has a great look.

It has an excellent rider position.

It has plenty of power, I'm a large guy and ride two-up most of the time.

There is a large selection of after market parts and accessories.

It ranks right up with the Harley at half the price.

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

I looked at and rode everything out there from Aprilia to Victory, and the Honda VTX series bike, especially the Retro models, had what I was looking for. Power, torque, looks, styling, comfort and reliability.

The aftermarket parts market is unlimited and not over priced as bad as HD.

The bike itself has been flawless. 46 MPG with a 1300.

Everywhere I go folks comment on how nice it looks and sounds, and I picked it up used with 1000 miles for about $5000 US.

Best bike I've owned, and I have owned a lot of them!

Faults:

Nothing has ever gone wrong.

General Comments:

Super comfortable (once I got rid of the stock seat).

Reliable.

Smooth running.

Faults:

I have had zero problems with this bike, other than the fact that I keep spending money customizing it.

I have it looking exactly the way I want it for this year, but next winter I will probably make some tin changes with paint, and then I'll be done until next year LOL.

General Comments:

The original seat was uncomfortable after riding a few hundred miles, but I have corrected that, and now it rides and handles like a dream.

Faults:

Nothing is lacking in the motorcycle.

General Comments:

This motorcycle boasts a low center of gravity, so it is very stable.

The engine pulls smoothly through the power curve, making for confidence-inspiring acceleration.

The handling is predictable.

The bike is forgiving of operator mistakes, though no rider should be complacent about safety.

This motorcycle accepts many popular modifications, including but not limited to throttle locks, special grips, clocks, saddlebags, electronic cruise control, security systems, backrests, engine guards, and windshields.

Dealer support is so-so.

Faults:

It came with an annoying front end wobble at low speed.

The stock tires were lousy and wore out quickly.

The speedometer developed a rattle at about 600 miles.

The Chrome on the Engine covers bubbled by 3000 miles.

General Comments:

This motorcycle is very reliable, and the problems are cosmetic or minor and easily fixed.

There is a vast array of after market parts available from many manufacturers.

The riding position and comfort is greatly improved with four inch handlebar risers and a after market seat.

Progressive springs eliminated the front end dive that it had with the stock fork springs.

The price is right and it is great value.

Faults:

The starter switch stopped working after 3500 miles. I took it apart, cleaned it, and I have had no further problems with it.

My turn signals stopped working after 12000 miles. I have tried several fixes, but nothing has worked yet. Dealer contact will be required.

General Comments:

This motorcycle has been a real joy. It starts reliably, has great acceleration, and draws comments from other riders.

The retro look is very stylish. The bike is well-balanced and handles extremely well at both highway and city speeds.

The fact that the bike is carburated allows me the opportunity to tune my own bike. Many modifications are available for the VTX 1300.

Faults:

Not a thing.

General Comments:

Great bike overall. The stock seat leaves much to be desired, but easily remedied.
