Honda's new radical easy rider

Honda has a new V-twin custom model – the radical Honda VT1300CX.

For many years the chopper motorcycle has summed-up a particular breed and passion of two-wheeled cool. Many are home-built machines – some made to quite basic specifications. But with the VT1300CX you can have all the presence and pose of a chopper, but with the reassurance of Honda's enviable style and build quality. The VT1300CX is a whole new breed of cruiser, showing Honda's wild side and playing on the popular chopper genre. The machine is powered by a 1312cc 52-degree fuel-injected V-twin found in the popular VTX1300 machine, but featuring re-profiled camshafts and a new exhaust system. The single-pin crank gives the bike a unique sound which growls through the machine's twin stacked pipes. Meanwhile, the radiators for the liquid-cooled machine are neatly tucked out of sight for a more 'traditional' look. It also boasts a new programmed fuel injection system, further contributing to the impressively low fuel consumption of 56.5mpg*. It seems to be the bike for those who want their chopper and eat it.
