Big is a word that aptly defines the thrills you'll feel ever time you twist the
throttle of Honda's mighty VTX. Big factory custom proportions backed up by big Vtwin
performance. Every curve of the VTX is designed with the long, low and sleek
look of performance, while sparkling chrome and metal brilliantly show off its most
eye-catching highlights. Tyre-shredding power is supplied by a beautifully styled Vtwin
engine pumping out eye-opening thrusts that seems to leap for the horizon. Its big
inverted front fork combines with a dual-damper rear suspension to provide effortless
handling and comfort on par with its prodigious power curves. With all this and
Honda's famed attention to detail, is it any wonder that the VTX has been widely
hailed as a rolling masterpiece of the cruising arts?
