Just b/c Honda is stopping production on the 1800's, that's no reason to jump the gun already.  Where's the faith man?  VTX for life, then again, no, get outta my head.  >:D

I gotta believe that Honda is just trying to clear inventory since there are so many unsold 1800s sitting in crates all over the place. I wouldn't be surprised once most of the existing 1800's are gone, Honda wont bring it back or maybe something even bigger. I just dont see Honda leaving the big cruiser market to their competition.

That's an idea about to much inventory sitting around and they did say they were moving the VTX production back to Japland. I don't see it either about Honda leaving money on the table by getting out of the crusier market. Maybe a bigger CC like BigDaddyTy said. Now that would be nice, except let's up the anty abit. Stock 140 CI with 240 rear, Vance & Hines, and most definitely a much improved suspension system. Now that would rock for starters.  8) 8) 8)   (where's the thumbs up icon?)

all I can say guys is keep dreaming cause it wont happen... honda tends to make a good thing but if it does not sell well they just let it go... I can't say I blame them...  They made the bad Cranberries 1500 Valkary but it didnt sell well, they had the RC51 and same thing... the goldwing is awesome and it sells well that's why still around.  The 1800 as good as it was is not a big seller.  a bigger CC bike IMO will be comparable to a Vulcan and the weight will take some of the puch out of the bike...  a new 1800 engine would be nice (more power) with a better MPG range.  Take some weight of the bike and include adjustable suspension and sell it for $10,999.00 out the door and u have a kick Cranberries ride.  Too bad they wont do it.

They are not going to open the new plant in Japan for a while, due to slower world wide sales. I read that on the HDL board. Could be that big bikes are going to get rare.
