Well I got to ride the new one

[Angel5]

I took that new Honda VTX 1800 for a ride today. That thing is one helluva torque-monster. The sound of that 4" pipe is amazing and it's way easier to toss from side to side than the '99 Valkyrie. 1800cc of twin goodness, 106hp and 120lbs of torque. I think I'm in love with it, it's so comfortable for an all-day ride. I can't buy it since my girlfriend just set me back $60k, but it may be a future ride sitting in our garage.

If anyone ever gets a chance to take that beast for a ride, do it. You won't regret it.

Your GF set you back 60GRAND?

What the hell did you get her?

-p

That's 60k CDN, not US. It was her birthday present. And it was a 1995 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo, with new rims, tires and body kit.

Isn't that the bike that Nicky hayden is riding in the new commercial? I laughed my ass off when the rider of a cruiser takes off the helmet, and it's Nicky! I kinda thought something was up when they showed the rider in racing leathers instead of touring gear.

Hehe, well she's been my girl for 7 years now. It's only 7 months' pay anyway.

I'll post a pic when I find one again.
