After hunting for a good while, I finally pulled the trigger on an 06 VTX 1300 and I LOVE IT!

Just found this sub!!! Loving my VTX, I drove 5.5 hours to go look at just the one I wanted and got it on Easter evening. I love that as a shorter rider (5’4”) it fits me so well. This is my second bike, an upgrade from my 250cc cruiser, so I’m taking things slow but absolutely loving everything about it so far!

I own this in the red, 2004 custom version. Windshield, saddle bags, fat-boy engine guards and sissy bar and luggage rack too. Luv it.

Put some saddle bags on it and use it to go to the store, travel, etc. You won't regret it. (I put 65,000 miles on mine and still going...)

Great bike! Enjoy!

That was the exact model and upgrades I had. Always started even in freezing weather and never left me stranded, minimal maintenance. Great bike!

Yeah she's a great bike. How many miles did you put on her? Did you buy a brand new off the lot like I did? Great color isn't it? Summer's coming!

I bought her used, then put 50k on her and donated her

It came with saddlebags that I put on just yesterday! I bought it with ~22k miles, ready to put on a whole lot more! Also, red was the original color I really wanted! Gives the bike so much character and looks really slick. This one had the aftermarket exhaust though so I’m really happy with it.

You’re going to love it. I rode mine 260miles today and I gotta say I may not sell it after all

Ugh, it’s been raining here all day and I’m just not ready for that yet. Been wanting to get back out there though!

That's exactly the rig I have and I'm in love with it. Got it four years ago and have put about 10k miles on it.

Enjoy the road, amigo!

I have the same bike, 2005 C.. I think yours has risers, much better riding position than stock. Mine has been a great bike for me. Enjoy it!

Wow...I love the highway pegs. I need to find those for my Vtx1800c .

Beautiful bike! You can never go wrong with black with that classic look. 👌
