very nice bike man! i had a 2006 V-Star 650 Classic and loved it! outfitted with a 19" Memphis Fats screen, made a night and day difference in ride comfort. the bike i really want now is the Yamaha Stratoliner, same bike as the Roadliner, but it comes with the rear backrest, windscreen, and leather-wrapped hard saddle bags. and i agree with Jeff, you need some custom billet wheels styled just like the bike's for your HHR. that would look awesome!

That's a mighty beautiful machine! The VTX just looks more of a comfortable ride than the old bike.

Having worked in the motorcycle industry a long time, I've seen that there are allot of aftermarket products for the VTX. You're going to have fun modifying the bike too!

I've been around motorcycle and have ridden all my life. I ride in the dirt now days. I used to ride the street, I don't anymore because I don't want to be taken out by inattentive car driver or street racers. I feel much safer in the dirt! If I go down in the dirt, it'll be my own fault, which has happened a few times!

Damn, that's a purdy bike!

Thanks guys...one of the reasons I chose the VTX other than it being bulletproof is the aftermarket support...I've only had it for 2 days and I have a huge list of stuff I want to add and replace lol

I have traveled to a few cities that I would not ride in if I lived there but riding in NH is just awesome

I miss My Harley but with a baby on the way I sold the wife bike and my bike. VTX's are nice, but was a bit lazy for me in the city compared to my Soft tail.

Congrats on the new wheels!
