On the VTX1800, Honda updated its linked braking feature, instead of having the usual separate hand and foot brakes, the hand brake operated two-thirds of the front pistons while the foot operated the other third in front and all the rear via a proportioning valve.
(See infobox for measured horsepower and torque values.) Honda claimed that the 1800 put out 159 N⋅m (117 lbf⋅ft) of torque at only 3,000 rpm and 75 kW (101 hp) at 5000 rpm, making the VTX1800 one of the most powerful production V-twin motorcycles of its time. Making amends for years of underperforming V-twins, Honda set out to produce a cruiser with the biggest CID ever and so designed a big bike with a muscular looking body that was long and low to the ground, featuring significant rake and trail.
dry sump oil system with the oil tank inside the gearbox case. electronic control unit with 3-D ignition maps for each cylinder. rocker arms with screw-and-locknut clearance adjusters. cylinder heads with two intake valves and a single, larger, exhaust valve. In addition to the 52° V-twin layout, commonalities for the 18 powertrains include: The VTX1300 line was introduced for the 2003 model year, which evolved into the VT1300C line starting with the 2010 model year. Nevertheless, the VTX 1800 still produced better 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times. At the time this bike was introduced the Honda VTX engine was the largest displacement production V-twin in the world, but that distinction would be short-lived as the VTX1800 was superseded in 2004 by the 2.0-litre Kawasaki Vulcan 2000. The Honda VTX 1800 was launched in 1999 as a 2000 model. The Honda VTX series is a line of V-twin Honda cruiser motorcycles inspired by the Zodia concept shown at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show.
