I will say I rode my Pops' Honda VTX 1800 for awhile...it was a beast and it was fun to ride, but the most fun I've ever had on a bike was on my sister's and mine 1983 Honda 450 Nighthawk. It was agile and easy to operate. If I were to go across country, I would pick the VTX 10/10 times. But for just putzing around town, that Nighthawk was a blasty blast.
