Honda VTX1800 information

Giant size, giant engine and giant cruising performance. Honda's VTX sets the standards for both looks and performance in the litre-plus custom cruiser class.

Each cylinder of its beautifully styled V-twin engine carries a huge 101mm piston that help pump out 156nm of torque at 3000rpm! .
Its quiet, maintenance-free shaft final drive compliments the engine well, in fact it would be hard to see a chain or belt being able to transfer that kind of torque without regular and expensive maintenance!

The 52 degree three valve single overhead cam engine gives over 95bhp with the help of fuel injection, and vibes are dialled out (almost) by counterbalance shafts.

The styling is as good as any of the opposition, and better than most. The ultimate V-twin cruiser? Probably!
