I´ve probably owned a bike by every major mfgr out there. Well I just traded my Harley fo a VTX1800R. The VTX is hands down the best that I´ve ever mounted from not only the individual systems (brakes-performance-handling-ect.) it´s also the best total assembly that I´ve ridden. Has the speed of a racer, the comfort of a dresser, and the looks of a custom. Honda deserves a standing ovation for this one!
