A quick review of my Honda CTX1300. Gobs of power everywhere. Down low and up high. Rear suspension is fine, front seems a little harsh on frost heaves. Have read on the CTX forum the front settles in but I am going to try lighter oil in the tubes. This thing shifts effortlessly, it seems to shift itself once you think about the next gear. That is as close as I can explain it. For $6800 I think I have a winner here. Ferret will agree a Honda V4 is a gem of a motor. Not a bit tractor like it wants to wind up and stay there.

September my son and I are heading out on a little 3000 mile trip will have a better review at that time.

My first tank I went 203 miles and pumped in 4.01 gals. I just turned 600 miles today so the oil gets changed in the morning. I bought a cheap set of saddle bag liners ($38) on fleaBay because the bags open sideways and don't want my stuff to fall out on the road.

For $6800 you got an unbelievably good, brand new motorcycle. You did good Ole.

Very pretty, the red works so well on that bike and I found the taller windscreen made a big difference as well. Also liked the USB connection better on the deluxe version better than the iPod connector on the V-Star 1300. At $6,800 you definitely got a deal and another example of a good value for the right rider.

I really like these odd ducks, and at that price it's a no brainer. Nice! I nearly pulled the trigger on a leftover VFR 800 for $6200 last week, almost a giveaway.

Beering in Sioux Falls SD tonite. Will give a better report when we get home from the black hills. It has very long legs zoom zoom zoom no cops in sight today so she ripped

He is pushing me but the ctx13 is still in the lead
High winds today
I got 35 mpg on my worst tank
Josh on the vtx18 got 28mpg same tank
But we were touching 80mph into the gusts
Tv lady said gusts up to 45 on the plains
