Said goodby to the VTX
« on: August 07, 2012, 02:14:23 PM »
Traded her in last month on a cherry, low mileage 2005 K1200LT.  We've had a lot of good times, can't think of any bad.  I was looking for a little more comfort and performance.  I was originally looking at the K1600GTL, but my miserly ways kept me from pulling the trigger right yet.  The LT rides like a dream, crank the throttle and it feels like you have a supercharger when you hit 5K,  and has all of the options you'd ever want.

You will miss the VTX but you'll get over it. After you crank the throttle on the K a few times. I had a K100LT and I got 66,000+ trouble free miles out of it. Enjoy but watch your speed. It's easy to hit 100 mph without even trying.
