Honda's profilation of this bike
It´s not easy categorizing a motorcycle as classically cool and feature-packed as the VTX1300R, so we like to go with performance-retro. Take a closer look and we think you´ll agree. Check out the burly 1312cc V-twin engine and staggered dual exhaust complete with mandatory throaty growl.
