Overview: Classic, old-school cool. That sums up the VTX1300R, whose "R" stands for retro, by the way. You'll understand once you get an eyeful of this beauty, with its deeply valanced fenders, chrome-hooded headlight and timeless tank-mounted instruments. Then, of course, there's the mighty 1312cc V-twin snarling its throaty growl through staggered dual exhaust. Yeah...it doesn't get much more classic than this.
