2008 Honda reviews

I can see why honda made these because I've smoked every 85 I've raced by 30 ft in a drag race and I even beat a 1991 yamaha yz 125.I love this bike best one I've ever had. Show less

After three months of riding our new 1300 with the Motor Trike kit, we are basically pleased with the Trike. We get lots of positive comments and questions about it. Since there are many around here in Nebraska, it is almost a novelty. The only problem is the customer service. There is none. No follow-up calls or any contact from the dealer. Even the MotorTrike factory has sent me to another dealer for work on our bike. If we did this all over, I would definitely go to the local Harley dealer and get a Harley Trike. Customer service there is absolutely awesome. Never again will I go back to this dealer. Not even for warranty work or service. We are driving 90 miles for all our work now. Show less

I just purchased this VTX1300R brand new with zero miles on it from a dealer in Virginia, and I couldn't be happier. I had been thinking about moving up from my Aero750 but was a bit hesitant. I saw this on special for $7,500 and thought I'd take the plunge. Right from the start I was impressed with the handling of the VTX1300R. Although you can feel that it is a bigger bike, the handling is very much like the Aero750. The braking is a lot more responsive with the disc rear, and there seems to be a lot more throttle left when cruising at 70+mph. My average MPGs range from 43 to just over 50 in the first 416 miles of driving. Show less

I just picked up my Shadow Spirit on Monday and I have fallen in love at first sight. This is by far the coolest looking stock, right out of the showroom bike I have ever seen. This is my first brand new motorcycle. I had a good experience with a used bike and a horrible experience with a used bike, so I thought I would take the USED out of the equation. A dealership advertised a brand new left over from 2008 for an unbelievable price. I went and saw it and fell head over heels. It fits me like a glove. Nice acceleration, very good handling, a dream to ride. Get one of these if you can. Show less

This is my 5th bike in 3 years. Had just bought a VTX1300C and in less than a month wanted the 1800. Definitely a nice muscle bike. More bang for the buck too. Has more metal chrome than plastic. Runs very smooth. Doesn't feel much more bulkier than the 900 Vulcan I had. The digital tach is cool. The hydraulic clutch is great. Linked brakes are nice. Inverted fork tubes look sweet. This one is a "keeper"! Test drove a H-D_VRod 1250. The VTX smokes it. Show less

I bought my metro in 08. It's given me nothing but satisfaction. I ride it almost daily, weather permitting. I highly recommend the metro for its style, dependability, and overall good on gas. Show less

When I first started looking for a cruiser bike I was drawn to the VStar 650's but after getting on one of them I realized they were too small for me. I had a friend suggest the 750 Shadow but thought the same thing. After going to the dealership and taking one for a test drive I was amazed. It felt great!! I've put nearly 500 miles on it since getting it and there isn't a complaint I have about it. In a few years I know I'll be moving up to a larger bike for an increase in comfort on long road trips but wouldn't mind hanging on to this Shadow 750 forever. Great job by Honda! Great job by their sales people to get me in a bike I love!! Show less

This is by far the sickest bike I have ever owned. I was looking for a 1000cc bike that wasn't going to weigh a ton. No doubt the 2009 R1 is a nice bike, but it was that pig size I couldn't deal with on track. The 1000RR is virtually fatigue free and the power! Whoa... it comes on SO SILKY smooth. The FI is spot on, which I couldn't say about the R1. I rode the R1 back to back with my 1000RR on track, the 1000RR was hands down easier to ride fast. Show less

NEVER disappointed on this bike. All my friends got 2 stroke 125's and there's no comparison. The four strokes these days are dominant. In the corners, through the ruts, over the jumps, or wide open, it doesn't matter. Honda has done a great job with this bike. Very light weight, great motor as always, and good suspension. From what I hear, the 2010's are even better so we'll see. Show less

I just got this bike in September and it is the fastest bike I have ever ridden. I've ridden other 250s and this bike beats them all. I raced my buddies rm250 and me and him were right next to each other the whole time in a drag race. I was beating him on his motocross track. If you're looking for a good and fast bike, then this is the bike for you. Show less
