Honda International Bikes: VTX1300R



Honda VTX1300R: Cruiser Motorcycle

Price: Starting from $9,999

It’s not easy categorizing a motorcycle as classically cool and feature-packed as the VTX1300R, so we like to go with performance-retro. Take a closer look and we think you’ll agree. Check out the burly 1312cc V-twin engine and staggered dual exhaust complete with mandatory throaty growl. Now shift your gaze to the deeply valanced fenders, chrome-hooded headlight, tank-mounted instruments, pullback handlebar, and floorboards with an old-school heel-toe shifter. All that, and Honda’s incomparable fit, finish, and overall quality. This is one great bike!

Quotes from Book: "BAI, BAIKO, CALENDAR"




१. दात जिभेला म्हणतात,
 'हम बत्तीस तू अकेली, बसी हमारी माय..
 à¤œà¤°ासी कतर खाउं तो फिर्याद कहां ले जाय?'
त्यावर जीभ म्हणते,
 'मानती हुं मैं अकेली, तुम बत्तीस, बसी तुम्हारी माय
जरासी तेढी बात करूं तो बात्तीसही गिर जाये.'
