2007 Honda reviews

This was an impulse buy. At first glance I was not a fan of the flames but the black candy coating paint job jumped off the sales floor. This is one of the most comfortable bikes I have ever sat on. It's fast, light and a real head turner. I love my Sabre. Show less

I got this bike last week. I ride a lot and it is just my skill level. It has some good horsepower. I would recommend this bike to anyone but someone like a beginner. Show less

I have had an '84 V-30 Magna and a '93 Nighthawk 750, and I loved both of those bikes, but I had to give up riding motorcycles because my feet became paralyzed and I could no longer shift gears or pull the clutch lever in safely. I was blessed to find a 2007 Honda Reflex sold as used with only two miles on the odometer. I love this scooter even more than my past motorcycles. It gets 70 mpg, will do 80 mph and gets attention where ever I go. My helmet stores under the seat. I can barely walk, but when I am on this scooter you would never know it, except for the handicapped tags on the back. This is the best purchase I ever made. Show less

I went from an old '81 KZ 1000 to this and was pleased with what a couple decades worth of technology can bring to bikes. There were a couple things I had to change about the bike before I could say I loved it. First off - the seat. The stock seat was brutal. It looked OK but after an hour in the saddle, I was looking to find a nice soft brick to sit on. I put on an Ultimate Mid Rider seat and that saved the day and my butt. I also added risers to bring the bars up and back some. In addition to those I added some nice cruise pegs for that stretched out ride. With those changes designed to keep me comfy in the saddle, I can pile up miles for sure. Having to change a seat, add risers and a cruise pegs to make it more comfy is why I scored it a 4/5 in comfort. Some folks may love the stock setup...it was not for me. Reliability has been great. It has never let me down or left me stranded. The only issue I had was a blinker messing up and that was due to me mucking about with the wiring. The tail light blew as well but a wear item is a wear item. For performance, it is adequate. It is less powerful than the old KZ 1000 I had, but a lot of bikes are. The VTX 1300 will not win many drag races but it is a torquey motor and has plenty of get up and go. Just remember it is a cruiser and you will be happy. The 1800 is a different beast altogether. The quality of the bike is pretty high for sure. Too much plastic chrome but it does cut down on weight. All in all this is a sexy looking bike with nice power and Honda reliability. You can't really go wrong. Show less

Pros: Everything. Cons: Nothing. I bought this bike 'new' in 2008 as a replacement for my 2007 Ninja 650. I couldn't be happier with the bike. I was pleasantly surprised with its performance the day I bought it and now, nearly 10,000 miles later, I'm still amazed each and every time I take it out of the garage. The power is phenomenal. The handling and brakes are absolutely superb (they'd better be, take a look at my upgrades). I track MPG at each fill and it's pretty consistent at 40-45 miles per gallon regardless of riding style. The best ever was 55 MPG (slow 130-mile poker run), the worst was about 39 averaging about 120 mph on the interstate (don't recommend that). As a canyon carver or commuter, this bike is about as perfect as it gets. It will not carry a passenger comfortably. It is loud so earplugs are recommended. While it's great for commuting and trips of about 50 miles or less (give or take), it is not for touring. The bike is more than capable but the operator may need to be in traction after a ride of over 200 miles. I did a 550-mile round trip on it once. Not a good idea. The bike was fine, I was hurting pretty bad. Reliability-wise it's pretty good too. I had a fork seal replaced under warranty and that's about it other than routine maintenance. You have to clean and adjust the chain every week or so and do the oil once or twice a year but that's about it. Swingarm spools and a rear stand are a must for maintenance. Show less

I bought the bike new, out of the crate, in July of 2010. The dealer had several that have been in storage since 2007. It's my first bike and I couldn't be happier with it. It's very comfortable (something I understand that used to be a problem). I've only had the bike for 2-1/2 months, but so far the quality and performance have been great. I get about 45 mpg and take it everywhere. It's a big bike, but easy to ride, with a low center of gravity. It corners well, accelerates well, and is heavy enough to feel totally in control on the windiest of days. I have no problem carrying my wife around on back either, with no loss of power or control. And I love the full foot rests and the heel/toe shifter. I get a lot of compliments on its looks too - I have the black 1300R. No real complaints so far. It's only been a couple months, but I can see having this bike a long time. Show less

I have owned this bike for just over two years and it has been amazing. After 14,000 miles I have never had any issues with it and the only time it sees the shop is for scheduled service and custom parts. The stock seat is fine for the average rider but it gets uncomfortable after you go 300 miles in a day so I switched it out for a Mustang seat and have had no issues with the comfort since. I highly recommend this bike to anyone that loves to put some miles on a bike without breakdowns and headaches. The power is there and so is the handling. Show less

This is my first cycle I have ever bought new. I love the bike as I got it in 2008 and have had zero issues. It keeps up with the bigger bikes and is a good all around cruser. Fuel economy has been around 40/45 mpg. Show less

Stock Number #10622 A versatile ride to say the least. The Shadow is at home with one or two passengers. Well mannered on the curves, as well as distance touring. The 1100 lends itself well to both cruiser and touring riding. This one is equipped with the backrest and windshield. I noticed the grips were vibration reduction after market, they follow the Honda line designs. Show less

I have a 2007 VTX 1300 C. Bought it new; love it, love it, love it. Not only a pretty pearl white, but I have the Honda saddle bags and put risers on the handle bars (I was born to be short, sometimes you gotta make adjustments). I rode without them for the first year or so but now, it is so comfortable. Great to handle, good on the tight turns on the country roads, and rumbles through the streets of the city. I have had more compliments on my bike than I can count. The comfort is unreal. I'm heading to the 60 year old mark, but I'm hoping to keep riding forever! Especially on my VTX. Show less
