DGTL GRL Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) Hubby is deciding to get a different bike. Nothing wrong with the current bike but he's wanting more of Tourer (cough.. cough Harley.. cough).He's selling his 2006 Honda VTX 1300c. Great bike!! I would take it myself if the handle bars came back more. (I'm a bit of a midget.)So here's the Craigslist ad. http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/2413966089.htmlCopied from ad:10000 miles new tires and oil change. All maintenance performed by Honda dealership. Küryakyn (Edge) jumbo hard (leather covered) saddle bags with quick release (NEW BAGS, INSTALLED LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, AUGUST 2010)Saddlemen bar bagSissybarBlue led lightsTitle in handNever laid downCall six one for 499 5zero17 between 8a.m. and 10p.m.No joy rides. Serious inquiriesCash or certified bank check. LOCAL ONLY WILL NOT SHIP More info: It's priced to move! $5500 OR BEST OFFER. Recently serviced. New Tires. Just had a oil change.I personally would love him to keep it and give up dreams of the motorcycles that cost as much as cars.. but he's going to sell.Most of you have seen this bike at Bike Nights..it's been taken good care of. Garage kept. Purchased in June 2009 from John Hinderer Honda PowersportsAnyway.. I'll post some better pics then what the ad has later tonight. I took some yesterday.Let me know if there is interest in it. Edited June 6, 2011 by DGTL GRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Green Valley Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 VTX 1300 not good enough for touring? I beg to differ . . . .Good luck with the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 What about different bars so you can reach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerik Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have several sets of longer risers here taking up shelf space that might fix that problem for you, if you're interested. I bought them for my Shadow, but ended up not using them. They'd be cheap, since I can't remember what I paid for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluebird Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 better back more tools on your bike to fix his new one.glws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His is still stock.That and he even says trying to grab the drag bars for that long (he's only 5'7, short arm length) is a bit uncomfortable for long trips.Your bars aren't drag bars.

DGTL GRL Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 bump bump$5500 obo.. The hubby really wants a Harley and is dead-set on getting one. Seriously negotiable- No low-ball offers though.Very nice bike. Just not the long haul bike he's wanting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioBob Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I second that the VTX is probably more of a tourer than the Harley. Think about it. No chain maintenance on the road, rides so smooth, if you want loud just add some Bub JH pipes, need more pull back there are plenty of options from risers to whole different set of bars, need a cushy seat send your stock to MeanCityCycles, etc.It is so much better. Can be customized soooo much.If he wants a "real" tourer than get a GoldWing. Those things are sweet, comfy and plenty of get up and go...did I mention plenty of trunk space.Just my .02.OhioBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
