Could you please help me ? I have the opportunity right now to buy a 2006 VTX 1800 with 12k miles on it, excellent shape, for under $8,000 . He claims he gets 40-50 mph...is this true for this bike ? ANything you can share with me would be helpful like its reliability record, etc... Thanks, Dave.

I highly doubt it. My 1300 got about 40 or 42. With a bigger displacement and if he has after market pipes you would probably see in the low 30's maybe middle 30's. Thats a beast of an engine. My harley has a 1584 cc motor and I get upper 30's with after market pipes and a more free flowing air filter. I would rely more on the Honda than a Harley. VTX's are bullet proof bikes. Low maintenance. Shaft driven water cooled. Pick it up if you realy like it. Fun bike that you can do so much to.

Good sounding bike with the new pipes, did the pipes have the baffles still in or was it without baffles?

[rbanas3]

They still have the baffles in them.

Hey bud quick question I am 6'3" and I was wondering how tall you were cause I'm moving from a shadow 750 (which is too small and underpowered for me) to either the 1300R or the 1800 and I wanted to be comfortable on the bike, you looked comfi on yours

PS I think da cobra sounds GREAT! much respect to da stock sound too (cant forget da stock guys)

[rbanas3]

I'm 6'1" and it fits me just fine. I now have the Cobra Fatty's freeway bars and foot pegs attached to them. Now I fit great and can stretch out. I suggest getting them if your tall as it will provide needed comfort plus they look good.

Very Nice. I like the Drag pipes.  Check out my vid.

[guitars777]

Of course the Cobra pipes sound better. For the "Stock guys" ... simply remove the baffles and you`ll get a much more attention getting rumble quite like the pipes on this video. If you want to really turn the heads get a set of Cobra Drag pipes...oh and an 1800 VTX as well...LOL

[MrPercyboy]

This bike sounds way better than the VTX 1800 with the dual crank pin.

[TheFloridaPappy]

Sounds great. I like my Cobra Slashbacks too - same bike.

Thanks for the info. Ive since found a 2005 VTX1300C in mint condition with Vance Hines pipes , 10 k.. miles, for asking price of $4,000 . I think it could be had for $3600 as they really want to be rid of it . Hopefully going to close on the sale today. Im pretty excited as its a heck of a deal. No windshield though but ill get one installed. David.
