I just bought the 2005 Honda VTX 1800 Style F Spec 3 2 months ago. This bike is gorgeous and looks tough. Performancewise I have not seen anything bad in the 2 months and 3500 miles I put on it. The only thing that this bike doesn´t have is sound. The stock pipes along w/ the catalytic convertor makes the sound very tame compared to harleys, but that can easily be changed to make it loud considering it is 1800cc V-twin. Definitely a head turner and puts most bikes I see around here to shame. I was driving a 97 honda shadow 600 before I bought this one and really had no major problem w/ handling the 750lb bike. I Definitely would not recommend this bike as a starter bike. This bike has more torque than the hayabusa suzuki and just takes off like you wouldn´t believe. It almost gets to 100mph in 3rd gear. I´ve ridden harleys before and this bike just outperforms the ones that I have ridden. And the price for this type of performance is the best part about this bike. I looked at harleys before I bought this bike just looks better than any stock harley I´ve seen. And if you´re willing to shell out the dough for a harley then you might as well get a chopper because they aren´t that much more expensive. Any way I highly recommend this bike for an experienced rider
