The Honda VTX series is a line of V-twin Honda cruiser motorcycles inspired by the Zodiac concept shown at the 1972 Tokyo Motor Show. The Honda VTX 1800 was launched in 2001 as a 2002 model. 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the largest displacement production V-twin in the world, but that distinction would be short-lived as the VTX1800 was superseded in 2004 by the 2.0-liter Kawasaki Vulcan 2000. Nevertheless, the VTX 1800 still produced better 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times.
VTX stands for V-Twin Extreme. The VTX1300 line was introduced for the 2003 model year, which evolved into the VT1300C line starting with the 2010 model year.In addition to the 52° V-twin layout, commonalities for the 1800 and 1300 powertrains include:
radiator with cooling fan;
cylinder heads with two intake valves and a single, larger, exhaust valve;
rocker arms with screw-and-locknut clearance adjusters;
electronic control unit with 3-D ignition maps for each cylinder;
two spark plugs per cylinder;
dry sump oil system with the oil tank inside the gearbox case;
shaft final-drive.
