Dude thats a crazy find. I personally hope to pick up a VTX 1800 F by the end of the year. You pretty much found the holy grail bike there lol. Hopefully I can find one close to that when the time comes. Cant wait to see what you do with it.
I came here for the VTX walk around since I'm looking at one on marketplace, but would be getting rid of a Yamaha FZ1. I can't decide which to move on with next summer and I'd love your thoughts
That is tough and kind of depends on what you want to do overall and if you don't mind going to something double the weight. But If I were to be trading one for the other, I personally would rather end up with the FZ1. Its just such a versatile bike. You can ride it fast, you can ride it slow, you can ride it cross country, you can ride it in town, and it does it all well. The VTX does not like to ride slow. in 1st gear with the clutch out, no gas, it will do over 25mph. Ever heard the saying its more fun to ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow. That applies to The VTX but for some reason not the FZ1, in my opinion. Dont get me wrong, The VTX is a super fun bike, but if I had to choose between the two to ride everyday, FZ1 every time. On a side note, I'm a smaller rider, so the heavier bike is less appealing in that aspect, for you it could be different. If you know someone that has one, or the dealer can let you ride one, I'd recommend test driving one first.
@ I appreciate the perspective. I should’ve added I went from a victory hammer to the fz1 so bounced around in both directions. Some days I couldn’t imagine giving up the versatility of the fz1 and other days I miss that pull of the hammer off a stop sign.
Sweet clean ride 🏍️ unfortunately youre probably not going to get as many chicks on this vs your sexy goldwing but it’ll have to do 😂 can’t wait to get some racing in 🏎️ 🌬️. Also I know this power but does it really have more pull than the zpro aka grom killa machine?
That's a Siiik ride Bradda.
Salute

I appreciate it! I wish you luck on your hunt! Please comment when you do get one, I'd love to hear about it. Have you ridden one before?
Nice bike. I bought a 2008 vtx 1800 f from a coworker love it.
Good choice!

Hahaha So you already know the struggle. Sometimes 1 bike just isn't enough! Sometimes 5 bikes isn't enough lmao
