Default Going to test ride a VTX today



yeah 2005 VTX1800F

Not sure I can sell out and give up my sporty riding ways...but Dallas sure is flat and straight. No real point in owning a sportbike here. Most of the sportbikers are as big a posers as the cruiser guys for this reason.

Looking at the bike, it doesn't excite me or make me lust after it or elicit any kind of emotional response, so its going to really impress me when I ride it.


Note that it has less shiny bits than most cruisers, and those are 16 and 18 inch sportbike tires front and rear.

If I HAD to ride a cruiser it would be that or a roadstar warrior. And they are still VERY fast

My friend has a VTX1300. Nice on the straights and longer hauls. Handles like a Buick
