Author Message   Midknyte Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 04:54 pm:        Now that's another way to reduce weight - check out the third & fourth photos Honda VTX Performance Cruiser Concept Who knows if it will ever make it into production. Very good looking bike.   Metalstorm Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 04:58 pm:        That is one trippy rear wheel. I hope it goes into production. It is very unusual looking. I like it.   Cataract2 Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 05:28 pm:        Ew.   Lake_bueller Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 05:36 pm:        That's AWESOME! I'd love to see that on the back of my S1W (with the chain drive, of course)   M1combat Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 05:42 pm:        Lets hope the have an exceedingly stiff swingarm...   X1tx Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 05:53 pm:        Decent looking bike. I like those forks despite the fact I thought the Rune was hideous. But the one thing I don't like about the VTX is the fact that it weighs WAY more than it should. It could stand to drop 200 pounds (or more).   Ray_maines Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 06:00 pm:        Air is even lighter than Titainium. I love the rear wheel   Bob_thompson Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 06:13 pm:        V-rod styling, probably a great motor, wonder how it would handle and what it would weigh?   Sleez Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 06:17 pm:        more realistic than the Rune   Bcordb3 Posted on Monday, July 11, 2005 - 07:52 pm:        Sweeeeeeeet, I want one! Rear wheel sans axle is awesome.   Midknyte Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 - 01:00 am:        VRod styling? Heh, the VRod could stand to take a few ques from this bike...   Seth Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 - 03:13 am:        Have fun fitting a torque wrench and your hand/forearm in there to tighten the bolt... Still real cool looking though!!!   Paulson Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 - 08:37 am:        WOW! Me likey! The production bike wouldn't be built without the axle though.   Buells Rule! (Dyna in disguise) Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 - 08:42 am:        This concept bike was running around the bike show circuit a couple of years ago. Old news. (Message edited by dynarider on July 12, 2005)   X1tx Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 - 08:56 am:        Yes it's an older 'concept bike'. But the VTX could truly stand some improvement. It weighs almost 800# and makes about 80 hp. And they have the gall to call it a 'Performance Cruiser'. Performance Cruiser.... Good one.   Charlieboy6649 Posted on Tuesday, July 12, 2005 - 04:43 pm:        Old news. But you can't shake a stick at how many people said they'd buy one in a heartbeat if it went to production. Myself included...   X1tx Posted on Wednesday, July 13, 2005 - 09:36 am:        I'd be tempted to buy one as well. But it would have to weigh a LOT less and put out more than 80 HP that's for sure. Not sure I'd pay that much for a bike (price for a VTX is high, truly steep for the Rune) only to have it smoked at a red light by some punk in a Civic. More power, less weight, and it could be a decent enough bike.
