ACE50 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Got a chance to ride a VTX1800 which I almost purchased before my RSTD and WOW! SOOO glad I wound up with the TD. I can't think of any other bike now I would rather get. I can keep up with the VTX and the TD I think handles better. Scraped boards a lot on VTX. With the new links I haven't yet on the TD. Much smoother power (of course), ride much smoother.................just OH YA! Heck the only downside to a RS is the weight and maybe a little tall in the saddle but I'm 6'3" so I'm cool.
ACE50 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Heck, the only reson I moved up to a bigger bike (VT1100 Sabre, good bike BTW) was a friend let me have his Valkyrie for a week and I realized, hey I can handle a big bike OK! Just didn't like the foot position on a Valk, loved the smooth engine though. So started looking. Went to go buy that VTX1800 and they sold it an hour before I got there. I was pissed. But not NOW! I'm keepin this thing!
FuzzyRSTD Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Glad your comfortable. Best two wheels I have ever been on in 35 yrs of riding. Man, it sucks to get old.
ACE50 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Bet you're enjoying the cruise control too. Just another big plus!
1joeranger Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I had mine now going on 5+ years. Still haven't seen anything that looks better to me. The Valkyrie catches my eye from time to time but mostly as a distant runner up. I would like to ride one for a while just to see how it handles
