I purchased a new 2007 VTX 1300S and have enjoyed owning the bike for 2 years now. Just dropped it off at the dealer to have it´s 12000 mile check-up and new tires. The bike has brought me nothing but joy. Absolutely no maintenance issues of any kind and has been 100% reliable from day one. Only suggestion I have for Honda to improve the machine is to replace the standard seats, \\
