The Honda VTX 1800 cruiser model appeared on the market in 2001 (as the 2002 model), however the first concepts of the entire VTX line were presented at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show under the general name Zodia.
Lineup:
Main competitors:
- Kawasaki VN2000 Vulcan
- Suzuki Intruder C1800R (Boulevard C109R) / [[Suzuki_Boulevard_M109R_ (Intruder_M1800R) | Suzuki Intruder M1800R (Boulevard M109R)]
- Yamaha XV1900 / Yamaha XV1700
At the time of its introduction, the VTX 1800 had the largest engine ever in a V-twin configuration. Only in 2004 did Kawasaki release the model VN2000, which deprives the VTX1800 of the first place in terms of engine volume, but still yields to it in such parameters as acceleration to 100 km / h (0-60 mph) and travel speed 1 / 4 miles.
The Honda VTX1800 was based on a specially designed 2-cylinder V-shaped liquid-cooled engine with a volume of 1795 cc. see, issuing 106 hp. power and almost 163 Nm of torque. The heads of the block have 3 valves per cylinder, the adjustment of which is carried out by means of a screw and a lock nut.
Of the features of the Honda VTX 1800, it should be noted the injection power system (electronic unit with 3D ignition cards for each cylinder), inverted fork, dry sump lubrication system (oil tank is inside the gearbox housing), combined brake system, hydraulic clutch, cardan drive and the presence of a large number of factory modifications (versions).
Modifications:
- Honda VTX 1800 R - the classic version with long fenders and alloy wheels.
- Honda VTX 1800 S - similar to the R version, but with spoked wheels.
- Honda VTX 1800 C - custom version. It has shortened fenders, a 2-in-1 exhaust system, conventional footpegs (instead of platforms), an 18 'front wheel (instead of 17'), a 17 liter fuel tank (instead of 20 liters), reduced front suspension travel (from 130 mm to 110 mm).
- Honda VTX 1800 N - neo-retro version. Similar to the R version, but different in the shape of the fenders and the design of the exhaust system.
- Honda VTX 1800 F - drag version. Features 18 'wheels, low profile radial tires, split exhaust system, 18L fuel tank, dashboard and seat.
- Honda VTX 1800 T - touring version. Same as R version + windshield, side trunks, passenger backrest.
2008 was the last year of production of the VTX 1800, after which it was discontinued and did not receive further development.
