2005 Honda VTX 1300 R, 2003 proved to be a landmark year for Honda.
The year saw the release of the much-awaited VTX 1300 S model.
The mind-blowing VTX 1300 S cruiser was the downsized version of the V- Twin Extreme (VTX) 1800 series inspired by the Zodia concept displayed at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show.
At that time, the bike enthusiasts demanded a better selection of high-horsepower but lightweight cruiser motorcycles, and the VTX 1300 S was exactly what they wanted to drive.
As a result, the world witnessed the VTX 1300 frenzy among the bike-lovers who made this bike one of Honda's major best-sellers to ever exist.
Despite its hype and demand, the bike was discontinued in 2007.
But even after fifteen years of its last production year, the bike is a perennial favorite among the young and experienced riders.
The thriving second-hand market is enough evidence to prove this claim.
The liquid-cooled V-twin powerplant with its smaller bore or shorter stroke had a different design.
The 1300 motor used a 38 mm CV carburetor in contrast to the fuel injection system in VTX 1800.
The carburetor came with a manual choke for cold starts and was heated by an engine coolant for better cold-weather operation.
The engine configuration was also slightly different in the VTX 1300 S motorcycles.
The liquid-cooled overhead cams were used just like in the larger 1800 cruisers, but the engine was designed around a single-pin crankshaft whereas the 1800 VTX had a double pin crankshaft.
For this reason, the 1300 engine was noisier and required dual two-axis primary counterbalancers to reduce vibrations.
The 1312 cc engine had a cable-operated clutch, whereas the 1800 VTX had a hydraulic clutch system.
