I had a VTX1800 several years ago. It is a beast. Plenty of power and about 100lbs lighter.

He will eat yer lunch. The Hondo has lots more guts and better brakes. sorry, but that's the way it is.

Your consolation will be years from now when you both sell your bikes. Yours will retain twice the value of his.

About the only place you will beat him is fuel mileage! Harleys have better fit and finish as well as MUCH less plastic, but that VTX WILL eat your lunch everywhere else.
