2008 HONDA VTX1300T You want a bike for the city, but you also love to take off on a moment's notice and head for a distant point on the map. Can one bike do both? Check out the VTX1300T Tourer, which blends classic cruiser cool with the practical features needed for long-distance adventure. It comes equipped with a windshield, spacious saddlebags, and a sturdy passenger backrest for all-day comfort. A big 1,312 cc liquid-cooled V-twin provides all the power you'll need, while dual counterbalancers ensure that harsh engine vibration will never spoil your ride. - Stylish custom windscreen for rider and passenger touring comfort. - Leather saddlebags with 24-liter capacity provide ultimate touring convenience. - Chrome backrest for passenger comfort. - Exclusive Tourer badging on front fender. - Sleek two-into-two exhaust system features bullet-style mufflers for a classic custom look. - Stylish chrome side covers. - VTX1300T colors include Black, Metallic Silver, and Metallic Red
Unique VTX1300T Features - Deeply valanced front and rear fenders, chrome-hooded headlight, broad fuel tank with tank-mounted instruments, semi-swept handlebar and floorboards with heel-and-toe shifter create a classic retro style that sets the VTX apart from the competition. - Rider comfort is enhanced with comfortable ergonomics and a firmly padded saddle featuring a low 27-inch seat height. - VTX1300T features retro-style cast wheels. - Large 140/80-17 front tire gives the T model a commanding profile.
Engine/Drivetrain - 1312cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin delivers strong low-end and mid-range torque, with ample power for passing and relaxed cruising. - Powerplant features a single-pin crankshaft to accentuate the engine's character. - Dual two-axis primary counterbalancers minimize harsh engine vibration without eliminating the powerful pulse feeling transmitted by the traditional V-twin design. - The engine mounting system uses carefully matched hangers to eliminate unwanted vibration, while preserving the powerful character of the V-twin engine. - Three-Valve Dual Plug Combustion Chamber (see Tech Section) - Easy -to-service screw-and-locknut valve adjusters. - Single 38mm constant-velocity carburetor offers crisp throttle response at all engine speeds. - Electronic control unit (ECU) provides 3-D ignition maps for each cylinder, creating ideal spark advance settings for superb rideability. - Coolant-heated carburetor improves rideability and ensures smooth operation in cold conditions. - Unique dry-sump oil system utilizes a closed-crankcase design and places the oil tank inside the gearbox case. The result is a freer-revving engine for improved power and a lower engine height, allowing optimum rider ergonomics and a low 27-inch seat height. - Chromed two-into-two exhaust system produces a deep exhaust note. - Radiator with cooling fan maintains consistent engine temperature for optimum performance and long engine life. - Maintenance-free automatic cam-chain tensioners. - Sturdy clutch utilizes a rubber clutch-center damper to ensure smooth and quiet shifting. - Five-speed transmission with carefully selected gear ratios for exciting roll-on performance. - Shaft final-drive system provides smooth, low-maintenance operation. - Drive-flange design at the final-drive gear reduces final-drive noise and wear, and simplifies rear wheel installation.

Additional Features - Specially designed tank-mounted chrome housing features a speedometer, odometer/A&B tripmeter and indicator lights for the turn signals, high beam, neutral, oil pressure and coolant temperature. - Electric speedometer with easy-to-read classic numerals uses an electronic transmission speed sensor , which eliminates the front-wheel-mounted speedometer cable for a clean, uncluttered look. - Extensive chrome-finish of engine parts includes cylinder-head covers, valve inspection covers, airbox cover, left crankcase cover, clutch cover, and left-rear engine cover. - Distinctive, chrome-hooded headlight housing features a powerful 55/60-watt halogen bulb with a computer-designed multireflector for superb lighting in all conditions. - VTX1300T features a stylish chrome tank emblem. - Handlebar design provides a comfortable, upright riding position. - Comfortably padded, large-diameter handgrips with polished aluminum handlebar switch housings and triple-clamp assembly. - 4.8-gallon fuel tank for extended cruising and touring range. - Powerful 364-watt alternator. - Durable, maintenance-free 12-amp-hour battery. - Convenient push-to-cancel turn-signal switch.
