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. The Honda VTX 1800 was launched in 2001 as a 2002 model.[4][5] 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the largest displacement production V-twin in the world, but that distinction would be short-lived as the VTX1800 was superseded in 2004 by the 2.0-litre Kawasaki Vulcan 2000.[6] Nevertheless, the VTX 1800 still produced better 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times.
VTX stands for V-Twin Extreme.[7] The VTX1300 line was introduced for the 2003 model year, which evolved into the VT1300C line starting with the 2010 model year.[8][9]
In addition to the 52° V-twin layout, commonalities for the 1800 and 1300 powertrains include:[10][11]
