I am about to buy a VTX. I noticed that the 1300 has a longer stroke/ bore ratio than the 1800 and a higher compression ratio. How does this affect ride and performance? The stroke on a 1300 is 16% greater than the bore whereas on an 1800, the ratio is 10%.
On a VT1100 Shadow, the stroke/bore ratio is 1 to 1 and the compression ratio is only 8 to 1 instead of 9.2 to 1 on the VTX1300.
I am not sure of the ride on the 1300 ?
