HONDAVTX1800C 2001 - 2002

　　The Honda VTX series was a line of cruiser motorcycles powered by a V-twin engine. The VTX100 was inspired by the Zodia concept displayed at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show and released in 1999 as a 2000 model year.

　　At the time of its introduction, the VTX1800 was the first production motorcycle with the largest displacement V-twin engine in the world. In 2004, the Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 took the title with its 2000cc engine.

　　The Honda VTX1800 featured muscular bodywork, long and low to the ground and with a significant rake and trail. Also, Honda claimed that the VTX1800 delivered 159 Nm of torque at only 3,000 rpm and 101 hp at 5,000 rpm, making it the most potent production cruiser.

　　The 2002 line of VTX cruiser comprised three models, such as the VTX1800C Classic and two Reto models, the VTX1800R with cast aluminum wheels and the VTX1800S with wire-spoke wheels and tube-type tires.

　　The bike was built on a double cradle steel frame, while the suspension was handled by a 45 mm inverted fork on the front and five-way spring preload-adjustable dual shock absorbers on the rear.

　　In the braking department, the bike was fitted with two 296 mm discs and three-piston calipers on the front wheel, while the rear wheel was stopped by a three-piston caliper and a 316 mm disc.

　　For power, the 2002 Honda VTX1800C took its muscles from a 1,795cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system, delivering 107 hp at 5,000 rpm and 163 Nm (120 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm.
