HONDA VTX1300C (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

The VTX1300 lineup comprised three models: the VTX1300C, VTX1300S, and VTX1300R. The bikes were available with more than 30 accessories to be modeled by the riders in their unique style.

In 2006, Honda launched the VTX1300C Custom, a powerful and comfortable cruiser machine that came in the same package as its predecessor. The 2006 model was available in Candy Black Cherry, Dark Grey Metallic, and Candy Orange color schemes joining the classic Black.

The bike was fitted with custom lightweight aluminum wheels that gave the bike a performance-custom profile, a beefy rear tire, front and rear fenders with a minimalist design, a two-into-two exhaust system with shorter pipes for a street-rod look, and a tank-mounted cluster.

The bike was also available with many touring accessories, such as a custom windscreen, leather saddlebags, a leather front pouch, a leather tank belt with pockets, and a lather touring bag.

The bike's suspension was fitted on a massive double-cradle steel frame and handled the front end with a 41 mm telescopic fork. At the same time, the rear was driven by dual chromed-finished shock absorbers with five-way spring preload adjustability.

The 2006 Honda VTX1300C was powered by a newly designed 1,312cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine with a carburetor instead of a fuel injection system on the larger 1800 model, delivering an output power of 74 hp at 5,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.
