my VTX1800S scared me so bad in a turn with early foot peg drag and seeing a guard rail i couldn't finish watching the vid.
other than that i would need help backing it out of the garage unless it had an electric reverse like the pig of a 1500 Goldwing i had. [ the 1000 was fantastic BTW ]
this CB1100 is as heavy of a bike as i would ever want and with a full 4.7 Gal tank of gas it can be a beast leaning it over at 65YO. JMO
Of all the bikes I have seen on the road the last 3 years, a 2008 VTX1800T was the most beautiful. Nice sound as he road away as well.
I was so taken by it, I went into my dealer to see if they had one. No but they let me sit on a VTX1200. Lifting it off the side stand made me realize it was not the motorcycle for my energetic rides through the twisties.
My 1982 Aspencade Goldwing was the Cadillac of motorcycles. Although it weighed almost 700 pounds, the 1200cc flat four and fuel tank under the seat made it bottom heavy. So I found it easy to maneuver. The only problem I had was scraping aftermarket floorboards on twisty roads, so I sold them to a club member.
