I bought my 1800 VTX almost 1 year ago, and love the bike. It almost has 11K miles and have not had 1 problem what-so-ever. The only changes I have made is the exhaust system, I put Vance & Hines "Big Shots" on. It sounds like the bike should, mean and fast. I wish it was just a bit quieter, but the stock pipes are too wimpy. I plan on making more changes, but only cosmetic ones. I have the uranium green and have only seen 1 other one on the road. The 1 thing I donĀ“t like is the seam on the gas tank, other than that Honda did a good job.
