2009 Honda reviews

The bike is very smooth with a lot of power. It has a clean, powerful look with dynamic speed. This is a very fun bike to ride with incredible stability. My friends who live by the GXSR rode my bike and are contemplating about changing. The bike is very light weight. Show less

I have had my license for two years and upgraded from the 750 Shadow. What a great change. It's very comfortable. I can't for winter to be over so I can get back out there. Show less

DN-01 would be a near perfect bike with more power and wind protection. It is smooth running, gets reasonalbe gas mileage and has a superb seating position (for me). The floorboards are nice. The stock "windshield" is a joke. Show less

I love my Rebel, I got it in 2009. I use my Rebel to ride to work when its not cold and rainy. I've never had any problems. As we would expect, it's not very powerful but on freeway you can ride it with ease and comfort. I go up to 70-72 mph. with not much efforts. I love the classic style and smoothness the Rebel has.

I have not ridden a bike on a regular basis in over 41 years. My wife, God bless her, bought me a brand new black 2009 VTX1300R and gave it to me on Christmas Day. Man what a surprise! I thought I was going to have some problems with the size and weight. But this bike is low, very well balanced and has been very easy for me to handle. Of course being older I do take it slow. I now have over 2200 miles on it without any problems at all. After a few months of practice on my own, I went and took the MSF class, which was well worth the money. You just can't beat a Honda. I sure love my bike!!!! P.S. And of course my wife, too. Show less

I have owned my "Dino" for about one month and have over 2,000 miles on it so far. I am not a new rider as I have been riding for over 22 years, but I am vertically challenged so that makes my selection of bikes somewhat limited. The DN01 is an amazing machine. It is comfortable on long trips, surprisingly quick and agile, and the smoothest bike I've ever ridden. The bike handles wonderfully on freeways, mountain twisties and backroads. I've ridden the Dino in both automatic and in manual modes, but prefer the auto. It gets a lot of attention everywhere it goes. People are fascinated with the bike and ask lots of questions about it. The only real drawbacks are the lack of storage and the useless windshield, but these can be remedied with aftermarket accessories. I haven't owned a bike yet that the stock windshield didn't need upgrading. Show less

I just moved up from a Honda 750 AERO 2006. I loved that bike but it just did not have enough passing power when riding two up which I do a lot of. In fact, if my wife is home I can't get out of the house on the bike without her. The 1300R is everything I hoped it would be. I cruise at 70-75 as smooth as can be. If I turn the throttle, I am at 85 in about three seconds. I don't think I have turned the throttle more than half way since I got the bike. Right now I only have 275 miles on it but tomorrow I will have the Vans & Hines big shots put on along with the carb jet kit, mustang seat, saddle bags and backrest. Can't wait to hear it and feel even more power. I got a great deal - brand new, $7500.00 and a 10% discount on the upgrades. The whole bike with accessories and out the door was only $10,400.00. I highly recommend you shop the internet and find the best deal. Many shops will honor a lower price from another dealer. This bike handles as easy as my 750. It took me about three minutes to adjust (heal shifter). Anyone who wants a great retro cruiser without paying a fortune cannot go wrong with this bike. Show less

I love the Aero and have added the Honda saddlebags meant for the bike. I also got two 1/2" Cobra pipes, which sound excellent. I also have a windshield and sissy bar for the back seat. It's a beautiful bike. I just rode 600 miles to Vermont and loved it. It get seriously great mileage. Downsides: For being 5' 10" I feel like the seat is not allowing me to be comfortable. I need to change it if possible, maybe even get some highway pegs. And I would have preferred a 6th gear for the highway rides. But what do I want for the price at the time? Show less

I waited for the DN091 to go on sale and bought one when it came down in price. I love the bike. I now enjoy riding much more than before on a Burgman 650. This bike has more power and better handling than a Burgman or Silver Wing. I ride with others who are amazed at the bike. It keeps up with all types of bikes including sport bikes. I love this bike.

I purchased this bike nearly a year ago, but have just begun riding it this past month. It is incredible! The performance is excellent. The bike easily goes 70 mph and gets at least the claimed 70 mpg rating. At 5'7", there is plenty of leg room, and it is very comfortable for long rides. The dealership in Gainesville provides excellent service and I will be returning there soon to upgrade to a larger motorcycle! Show less
