I recently purchased this 2005 VTX1800S2 as a new left over. With 500 miles on, I'll give it five stars across the board! It's a fast. smooth bike, and has a plush ride. Fit and finish are awesome, and I got a killer deal on it. Adding a bit of rear spring pre-load makes it a very able back-road performer. It's a lot of fun to ride aggressively, length and weight notwithstanding. The spec two build features are tasteful, and the two-tone paint job looks custom. Remove the rear seat section, and you get a great solo look. This is a very quick bike for its size, and only gets smoother as speed increases. It is very different than a lot of other machines in this class. It does not have the classic attributes or mannerisms of Milwaukee iron. It is a made in the USA metric original, and the folks on the Ohio Honda assembly line have produced a real winner!
