“Speedometer incorrect as verified with local law enforcement. 10% over actual speeds. Causes me to go slower than other traffic unintentionally. Angers drivers of other vehicles and places myself and my passenger in danger. This can be remedied with a speedo healer but why should I spend $100 to correct a defect in Honda's design?”
NHTSA complaint #10134273, filed 2005-08, 1 miles“Just purchased this bike I'm 2nd owner, and while inspecting this bike I noticed that left side of front tire was completely worn but right side had tread, so I replaced with new dunlop tires front and rear and after driving having only 300 miles on bike one day I let go of left hand grip at 40 MPH to scratch my nose and the bike front wheel began to wobble enough to really scare me. I called Honda they said we know nothing about this problem, however getting on line with several vtx owners web-sites and discovered that this is a problem with the vtx 1300. …”
