A Classic Road Trip Demands a Classic Machine.
While every member of the VTX1300 family boasts the sort of comfort that makes all-day riding a breeze, the VTX1300T lives for the long haul. (Oh, it enjoys the casual Sunday roll down Main Street, too.) It’s the ultimate combination of performance cruising and retro styling, boasting a huge touring windscreen, cozy passenger backrest, roomy leather saddlebags, and, of course, that powerful 1312cc liquid-cooled V-twin to get you wherever it is you want to go. Add three stunning new color schemes, exclusive, front-fender-mounted Tourer badging, Honda’s commitment to quality, and start thinking of the longest way to get from Points A to B.

INNOVATIONS

Beauty is Much More Than Skin Deep
The performance cruiser class is full of good-looking, chrome-covered machines. We should know, since we build the most stunning cruisers out there. The true beauty of these motorcycles, however, lies in what’s inside, and that’s where the VTX1300 really shines as a V-twin showcase for Honda innovation. The list is impressive, topped by such features as three-valve, dual-plug combustion chambers, near-maintenance-free shaft drive and cast wheels. But you want to know what’s even more remarkable? The durability, reliability, and superior fit and finish that are a part of every Honda.
