I bought my VTX brand new it is my first motorcycle ,and I must say It is a great bike! Easy to ride ,cobra pipes make it sound awesome and I ride next to my brothers Harley no problem.Among the minor negatives of this bike ,spedo chatter,clunk into 2nd gear, also rear signal light lenses alway´s breaking off on bumpy roads. Bike is well worth the added cost of upgrade to aftermarket parts.I love this bike man.
