Honda VT750DC ACE
How About The Price?
I consider the ACE 750 to be one of the best‐priced cruisers in its class. When compared to other bikes in its class,
the ACE 750 (at $5,999) comes in right in the middle:
•
Yamaha V‐Star 650 ‐ MSRP of $5,500
•
Kawasaki Vulcan 800 ‐ MSRP of $6,200
•
Suzuki Savage 650 ‐ MSRP of $4,300
While each of these are excellent mid‐range cruisers, the ACE 750 offers better long distance riding than the
Savage and better styling than the Vulcan 800. The closest competitor with the ACE 750 is the V‐Star 650, which is
a respectable choice as well for medium‐build riders.
What about accessories?
There are plenty of chrome doodads out there for the ACE 750, as well as a few performance enhancers as well.
Major aftermarket manufacturers like Cobra, K&N, Vance & Hines, and DynoJet all offer plenty of options to
customize your ACE or hop it up a bit. Do not forget about the Hondaline accessories as well. While they are a bit
pricier, fit and finish is top‐notch and they are guaranteed to fit the ACE 750 perfectly.
So do not worry...there are plenty of accessories out there to continue draining your wallet after the initial
purchase. The good news, however, is that the ACE 750 comes from the factory looking sharp and leaving it stock
will still turn heads as you cruise down the road.
The Final Lowdown
I do like the ACE 750 as a midrange cruiser. For riders who are mid‐sized (5'‐5" ‐ 6' and 150lbs ‐ 180lbs), I think it is
a great choice. Larger and taller riders will find the bike a bit cramped. For those who are looking at long road
trips, the ACE 750 is a suitable bike, but you could find better comfort from one of the larger cruisers.
Overall, though, it is a great looking bike with a great price tag and low maintenance needs. This adds up to a low
initial outlay and plenty of miles of smiles.
Ride Safe!
