Honda VTX1300T Motorcycles

2008 VTX1300T

Overview:

We weren’t about to let the VTX1800 family have all the touring fun, so allow us to introduce the all-new VTX1300T. Built with the same purpose as its VTX1800T sibling, complete with large touring windshield, spacious leather saddlebags and handy passenger backrest, the VTX1300T is the perfect choice for riders seeking big performance in a slightly smaller machine — with a slightly smaller price tag.
