Novelty: Honda VT 1300 CX in Easy Rider Optics

In the Easy-Rider style of the 60s, the Chopper Honda VT 1300 CX now advertises customers in Germany.

In the US, this is the most necessary reduced bike already successfully under the more catchier nickname "Fury" ("anger") in the market.According to Honda, the Chopper segment is growing noticeably in a generally undoong German market. No wonder: The tuning scene for Chopper is more alive than ever, more and more customers make their standard Lowrider and Harley copies of stylish. And that means mostly disarmament on the functionally absolutely necessary.

Custumize look from the pole

Optically, the new is therefore fully in trend: No superfluous trim parts block the view of the essentials, no hoses and cables disturb the design. Add to this all typical characteristics of a real chopper like the long wheelbase, the flat telegraphs, a fetter rear tire and the deep stepsitzbank. Edel tuner can be paid to such a look expensive, at Honda the biker gets him from the pole.

Among them is modern technology

Unlike the retro design suggests, the technology is modern. The VT 1300 CX will have with integral ABS brake system. Through double ignition and one own catalyst lambda unit per combustion chamber exit optimally detoxified engine exhaust gases the two chromed, right-side mufflers. With 1805 millimeters wheelbase, the VT 1300 CX belongs to the absolute "crossforsters" among the cruisers. An ingenious steering head geometry should still provide good handling. The deep rear finds that of Chopper freaks so beloved rigid frame optics again, the mono strut and even its hydraulic adjustment button hide invisible.
The fact that the beefy 1312 cubic centimeter V2 engine with two compensation shafts is just 58 hp at diesel-like 4250 revolutions from the crankshaft, the future owners is probably pretty much. For them, the rousing 107 Newton meters count at low 2250 rpm. And of course the unbelievable "Clean look" of a UR chopper as to Easy Rider times. The existing space between the artfully shaped 13-liter drop tank and the V2 also brings a completely new challenge with itself: Future owners have to polish the tons of dead fly after a pleasurable summer trip not only from the headlight, but also from the chrome-fluxing valve cover of the front cylinder.

    Hey guys, there is already a comparison between the Honda VT 1300 CX and the Yamaha Midnight … Hey guys, there is already a comparison between the Honda VT 1300 CX and the Yamaha Midnight Star 1300 and can give me your own experiences per and contra the two machines. I would really help me the decision. Greeting DSR Fischmann (because works at North Sea)

  2. "Fury" Translated "Fury"
    Fury translates anger, well in naming, you could have made a little more effort in my opinion. But I can only say: successful part. If the price is right now then I will get fever again. What am I only doing with my beloved Triumph America? First displace and look like the part looks in live! Where is the nearest Hontraker?

  3. Finally!
    Honda has made his homework clean again! After years of plastic deserving spaceships were thrown in the market, they have recognized what really counts.Back to the roots!! The West Coast Style is unmistakable, only a chain as a secondary drive would be the right! Congratulation Honda!!!

  4. Honda Vt
    Water cooler and the tailfender but there is enough possibilities to do something nice.But the drive. Chain or timing belt and the bike would be really a blast.

  5. Trend recognized, danger banned
    True Biker (?) Of course put on the original Milwaukee, the much similar, but nothing is better better. The throat waving around the nose remains the same. So seen, you can Honda for yours "replica" just congratulate. Presumably, the VT 1300 CX is also held together with metric screws that do not have to be carried in leather saddlebags as a replacement.

  6. The headwind is the same…that’s how it is!
    As a longtime and enthusiastic Honda driver in the Cruiser area, I can only agree with that. Of course, Honda copied (like all other Japanese manufacturers) H&D Very happy and the argument "Only the original is an original" should not quite unheard, only…In terms of price / power or reliability you are the first choice!

  7. Harley VS. Honda
    I think the Honda OK and affordable. The new HD Twin Cams are no longer a Harleys. Softly rinsed, crammed with electronics, rubber-locked and overpriced. Then the original a pan or shovel.

  8. laughable
    Easy Rider with a rice cooker – does not work. Only the legend lives ! Harley for Ever !

  9. So
    …If already Denglisch then then please correctly. At least a lack of use, you can not accuse the author, here English was really encouraged (Cleane Look, Custumize). Anglicisms can not always handle, but here they were really not necessary and also written bottle. But my German is not so good either… Love greeting from the overnight pond.
