I have a 2002 vtx1800r. When I got it I was riding with a group that was all harleys,except for me. We were to meet for a ride and I got there early. Once they were all there they walked around and made honda jokes and poked fun. (Was all in good fun) They let me start up 1st. They got quiet once I did. I saw 3 jaws hit the tanks. After awhile ,once I broke it in,the 1 guy wanted to race. He had the "fastest bike". After the race he had "the fastest harley". I love that bike. 18 years and she still looks new and runs like a beast.

Don't be afraid to really push that VTX1800, they love it :) I remember when I got myVTX1800R, the first few rides I thought the clutch was slipping, or something was wrong, didn't realize it was just boiling the rear tire, but because of the weight of the bike, it never got squirrely and just kept going. I didn't really understand it all until I put fresh rubber on it, changed everything, wow. It's an amazing bike, just buckets of torque!

Truth is the Wing was built in S.C. the VTX in O.H. weve yet to take a road trip that all the hardleys it back from. Honda holds up fine fore me. The was to stop them is to talk cooling systems. I particularly like to set them up for a fall by first saying something like how do you like your cooling system? They'll talk for an hour trying to convince you they enjoy having their legs bar-b-qed. With all the sincerity you can muster say something like this. You know Bob I agree with you up to a point.

Owned a 1800c VTX And yes they’ll smoke most Harley’s, but if you run into a Harley 124” or a stage 2 harley M8 the Harley would win. Depending on the components in the Harley, haven’t said that top end may be a different story. Owned both enjoyed both.

Anybody that knows about Metrics....The VTX 1800 is a HD Killer...Unless they dumped alot of money in it...And even then in a Open Highway race that covers many many miles the VTX can sustain its top speed almost indefintely where the HD rider will either have to quit or blow his engine...

I ride whatever I have in my garage. From a ZX12r to a Valkyrie to a Road King CVO down to a Honda 250 Rebel. Here is what kills me about these comparisons. The fact that a rider has to make a point to race a Harley is proof that the Harley is the King of Bikes. All bikes compare to a Harley, that is the ultimate statement. I don't ride my RK CVO for speed, I ride it because I like the sound, the feel and the "cadence" of the motor. I ride my ZX12r to race anything that comes along. I ride my Valkyrie because with the pipes on it, it sounds better than the fat lady singing in victory! I ride my 250 Rebel to practice slow speed riding. So, you ride what you like and you like what is under you while you ride. Don't compare your bike to a Harley or the Harley rider has already won....

My dude, you looked way to into it. That Harley rider is my brother and he was talking shit like brothers do. All of us motorcycle riders have the passion. He wanted to run them while we were out riding around. Harley is nothing but a name at this point. Overhyped, overpriced junk but the mentality of the Harley riders is nothing but arrogance.

@@fatman2wheels730 Ouch, "junk" is a little more than what millions voted with their wallet.. Overpriced? Yep. Overhyped? Yep. Overpriced "Junk"? No, not really. I have owned 10 Harleys and never has one of them broken down on me. I have put well over 500,000 on my Harleys combined. I have had all the Japanese brands and a few of the European brands too. My total riding (since Feb 1974) on all my large street bikes (over 40 of them) is well over 1 million miles. My M109R had a battery go bad. My KZ900 had a flat tire. My KZ1300A2 had a water pump shaft go bad. My Valkyrie 1500 had a hydrolock problem. My CBR1000F had problems if it was not started weekly (hard starting). Only one Harley had any problem and it was a Sportster. A coil wire vibrated loose while riding and I stopped, saw the wire hanging, plugged it back onto the coil and voila, never had a problem with it again.... So, conclusion is that all bikes have problems and Harley is not the only JUNK out there. In fact, I think that Harleys are made for people who "enjoy" working on, touching and riding bikes. Most riders, today, have no idea how to work on a bike so they call a Harley "junk" due to their lack of abilities. My ex-CHP FXR-P had 200,000 miles on it when I got rid of it and it still ran great, never let me down, but life is to experience not dwell on so I moved on to a BMW R1100RS whose front brake line split while going down Sparks Blvd, in Sparks, NV. Luckily Sierra BMW (Lane is a great guy) had the parts and I fixed it in their lot. Even overpriced BMWs can be "junk" since humans make inferior junk in life.

I really don't understand the point of spending tens of thousands of dollars on modifications on Harleys, which will lose sense because if you want performance you don't have to look for it on a Harley, if you want to go fast take something else. Harleys are made to go for peaceful rides and enjoy the sound and sensations that that engine gives you, so it makes no sense to look for the race and then be beaten to make the figure of the fool. At the same time I hate the bluster with Japanese motorcycles that boast about beating Harleys, It's an attitude of immature kids who deserve to have a moped. More respect and the world will be better.
