Honda VTX 1300 S
2007
2007
The 2007 Honda VTX 1300 S is a cruiser motorcycle that continued Honda's VTX line, offering a more classic styling compared to the more radical VTX 1800. The "S" designation denotes its spoked wheels and more traditional cruiser aesthetic. This model year represents a solid option in the mid-size cruiser segment, directly competing with motorcycles such as the Yamaha V Star 1300.
At the heart of the VTX 1300 S lies a substantial 1312.0 ccm (80.06 cubic inches) V2, four-stroke engine. This powerplant produces a healthy 123.0 Nm (12.5 kgf-m or 90.7 ft.lbs) of torque, arriving relatively early in the rev range at 3000 RPM. This readily available torque translates to strong acceleration and effortless cruising. The bike's weight comes in at 300.0 kg (661.4 pounds), which contributes to its planted feel on the road, however, it can be a factor when maneuvering at low speeds. Fuel capacity is 18.00 litres (4.76 US gallons), providing a decent range for longer rides.
The VTX 1300 S provides a comfortable, upright riding position typical of cruisers. The low-slung seat height of 686 mm (27.0 inches) makes it accessible to a wide range of riders. The suspension is tuned for a smooth ride, soaking up bumps and imperfections in the road with reasonable ease. The bike's weight helps provide stability, and the engine's torque makes it easy to maintain speed on the open road. The traditional cruiser styling gives it a distinctive presence and the v-twin rumble adds to the riding experience.
The 2007 Honda VTX 1300 S is geared towards riders who appreciate classic cruiser looks and a relaxed riding experience. It's a good choice for those seeking a comfortable and manageable motorcycle for cruising and weekend rides. The engine's broad torque curve makes it suitable for riders who prefer effortless power delivery over high-revving performance. Its reliable Honda engineering and comfortable ergonomics contribute to its appeal as a solid choice in the cruiser market.

• Strong, reliable 1312cc V-twin engine delivers ample low-end torque, making it excellent for cruising and relaxed riding. • Classic cruiser styling with comfortable ergonomics suitable for long rides, featuring a low seat height for accessibility. • Shaft drive minimizes maintenance compared to chain-driven motorcycles, offering clean and quiet operation. • Hydraulic valve lifters reduce maintenance needs, eliminating the need for periodic valve adjustments. • Relatively affordable compared to other larger displacement cruisers, providing good value for its performance and features. • Aftermarket support is extensive, offering a wide range of accessories for customization and personalization.⚠️ Things to consider
• Single front disc brake offers adequate stopping power but can feel underpowered, especially with a passenger or heavy load. • Fuel injection system is relatively basic, can sometimes exhibit surging or inconsistent throttle response at low speeds. • Suspension is soft and comfortable for cruising but can feel vague and wallowy in corners or during aggressive riding. • The VTX 1300S is heavy, which can make it challenging to maneuver at low speeds or in tight spaces. • Stock seat, while low, may not provide adequate support for longer rides, potentially requiring an upgrade.Rule of thumb: under 125cc / 15HP → A1, under 47HP → A2, above → A.
