Honda 1300 Motorcycle
Which would you suggest? "2008 Honda VTX®1300T" or 2008 Yamaha V Star® 1300 Tourer ?
I am interested in buying a motorcycle that would be sufficient for both short and long rides both in-town and on a highway. I want a comfortable bike, one that would carry an additional rider comfortably as well. In my little research I am considering one of these two bikes. What thoughts can you share? I am 56, 5' 10" tall, 205 lbs, fit, not looking for a racing bike but one that has power/punch. I know to take a training course and to ride intelligently. PS: I am not impressed with noisy bikes. It is OK for others; but I'd prefer a bike that would be quiet and smooth. I am also looking for one that would be a good value for the dollars spent and one that would be most reliable. Thank you for any advise you may give.
These two bikes will do the same thing. You just need to pick the one that you like better looking at and sitting on.
One major benefit of the Yamaha is that it's fuel injected.
