i saw this post on another forum....just thought it was pretty funny....



" Did you get the recall notice on the VTX's? I sure hope so for your own safety.
Apparently Honda decided they are so embarrassed by the comparison of the VTX to the Rocket III that they will offer recent VTX owners the option to apply the full amount of their purchase price to a used Rocket III, but only after they are traded up to the Rocket IV coming early next year. Also Japan has unofficially declared war on England in an attempt to save face. Just thought you might need the info - friend to friend don't you know......."

:spank: i love it!

Ok the rocket III looks like it has some great numbers. I have to agree that in its current configuration it looks crappy. I would like the looks of it much more if the dropped one cylinder from it and made it a V twin. The radiator on the thing is huge. Drop it from 2300cc to 1850 or so and I think it would have a better feel. But then it would be more like the VTX 1800 with a few styling differences. I think they look good except for the engine area, my personal styling preference. Still how do you compare that monster to any VTX, good styling good power choice 1300 or 1800, whats not to like.
