2009 was the last year for the VTX1300R, which Wikipedia says came in new colours alongside the C and T before the VT1300C series replaced the line for 2010. It kept the cast wheels, valanced fenders, tank-mounted gauges and the compact exhaust introduced in 2008, with the same carburetted 1312 cc twin and shaft drive.
