I've said it many times and I'll say it again... I absolutely LOVE the new Magnesium color... I would trade my SLM for a Magnesium in a heartbeat if I had the money.

And Welcome to the Club! Awesome bike! Details?

methinks it's a VTX1300. Can't tell which model though, but it looks like a custom paint job, or at least a debadging.

the bike is a debadged (factory painted) '04 VTX 1300. Honda just does things right as far as i am concerned.

Hey "Murdock"

that is a sweet combo....you need a trailer the color of the E's black panels to travel with the E and Bike.

i have the magnesium metallic, and i absolutely love the color. my dad tried to convince me on getting the khaki, cause it was the closest to being white. something about florida weather where he thinks i'll incubate myself if i buy into a darker color. if i can't take the heat, i can always move up north. :grin:

The magnesium was my only other color choice.....like it as much as the black i have now.....I wish i had gotten the magnesium. The Black is hard to keep clean. Just so happened the dealer had no magnesium. Had no black either. While i was test driving i saw the delivery truck bringing in Hondas to the dealership and there was the Black on Black :twisted: Couldn't wait, i just had to have it. When the NBP is clean, it's the best looking E around :) In my opinion. But hey any color E is great

So is the bike the exact same color? Does it have the same color name?

I'm buying another bike this spring, and I wanted to know, because I may try to find a 750-1100 Honda cruiser in that color. 1400 is just a little big for me.

the bike was just called metallic silver. lucky to have matched the E so well since i had the bike first.

i began my search for a bike in the 700-1100 rane but after riding the 1300 VTX there was no chance i could get anything smaller in a cruiser. it feels a lot lighter than one would expect. ride one before you count it out. :)

So it doesn't match, EXACTLY, right? Just really close. I'm cool with that, if that's the case.

As far as size, the VTX is a good looking bike, but if I am going to go that big, I really want a Yamaha Road Star Warrior! (click to enlarge)

I'll definitely check the VTX out though. Had Kaws, Hondas, and Yamaha bikes in the past... happy with all. But it'd be cool to be a pure Honda family...
