I was suppose to get this bike late July,but her business has killed me :banghead: But..... business is good :) Was at the dealer yesterday and she was with me.She ask "where's that bike you want? " I pointed her in the direction,she fell in love with it and said "wow" She ask what it would take to take it home.I gave a ballpark number and she added to it ??? Next thing I know I'm headed home to get the 1300c to trade.
She owed me big time.[business reasons] I didn't even ask,she knew I wanted it bad,and came through shocking me.I think I'll keep her {this is still gonna cost me I know it] :laugh:

"new" left over 07 VTX1800f spec 3

I'm guessing you've already got to put some miles on her. How did it feel compared to the 1300. I know a few peopel that have or had both and like the 1300 better.

Nice setup on paint and wheels.

It's differant,1300 center of gravity is extremely low.Lower than any other bike I ever riden 1800 a little higher.But the specs on the F model are differant than the other 18's.F has a shorter wheel base than the R,S or N.Within .2 of a inch of the 13's wheel base.One Less degree rake,better tires to chose from,more like a sport touring type tire.More grip there.LOTS more power and torque.[about 30 and 30]The only thing I gave up was MPG.Don't know how much yet.
Sits more comfy "for me" If it wasn't for the F model I would have kept the 13
I'm happy.

I had an 05 1300 c and loved it. Bullet proof is the correct discription for these bikes. I came real close to trading for the 1800 F but held off and ended up with the Busa instead. No regrets other than I wish I could have kept the Honda too. Let us know how the 1800 runs and handles.:thumbsup:
