This one will be hard to pass on at 5 grand...
I may have to ask for forgiveness. Can't have too many horses in the Remuda..
I still kinda kick myself for passing up a 2005 VTX 1800C for 6K with under 5k on it...I still luv my 1800F, having a donor on hand I might not have bought the B tho...
Man that looks like a great price on that bike. You should buy it if you can / it would be a great bike to fly around on just for fun.

Back to reality and have to pass.
Nah, I'd pass. Just more money spent on bikes I'd never really ride.

Ya know... I had a VTX1300S once upon a time. Rode it for many years. Then bought the F6B. Could not go back.
By comparison, it handled like a pig! Mind you, I like bacon as much as the next guy... but really!!
And while I understand the 1300 and 1800 VTX bikes were different animals, by most accounts the smaller was a better (more behaved?) ride than its big brother.
So, it's probably best to think of this pass as a blessing in disguise. Sort of like going back to watch an episode or two of a beloved tv show from your distant past... they're never as pretty as you remember. :icon_lol:
I still luv my 1800, yes it feels a bit clunky in comparison compared to the B. But after nearly 70k together I'd ride her thru the gates of hell and back and not think twice. The B is a wonderful machine and after 70K I may feel the same about her too, however my 1800F and I have been thru hell together and she's rarely given me pause. She fit like a glove from the first ride and within a week it was like we'd been together for years.Quote:
