So, Honda is back with big displacment.

Big is a word that aptly defines the thrills you’ll feel ever time you twist the throttle of Honda’s mighty VTX. Big factory custom proportiogns backed up by big V-twin performance. Every curve of the VTX is designed with the long, low and sleek look of performance, while sparkling chrome and metal brilliantly show off its most eye-catching highlights.

Tyre-shredding power is supplied by a beautifully styled V-twin engine pumping out eye-opening thrusts that seems to leap for the horizon. Its big inverted front fork combines with a dual-damper rear suspension to provide effortless handling and comfort on par with its prodigious power curves. With all this and Honda’s famed attention to detail, is it any wonder that the VTX has been widely hailed as a rolling masterpiece of the cruising arts?

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
