Well I have had my VTX 1300 S since new in 2003. It's been a great bike and have had no issues with it at all but I'm ready for something bigger. So I decided I would go look at an 1800 N Spec 3. Very nice bike. Until I looked at a Yamaha Roadliner. What a fantastic bike. 1850 cc and over 100 hp. It runs fantastic and handles awesome. Not top heavy at all like the VTX felt. I know it's air cooled but that really doesn't bother me. The fit and finish on the Roadliner is hands down far superior to the VTX. The VTX looks plain compared to the Roadliner. So I think I have made up my mind to get the Roadliner. I really hope Honda gets on board with some new models because I'm really bored with their line up.
