Built around Honda's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2006 Honda VTX 1800 Performance Cruiser pairs a 1795 cc (109.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 101.0 x 112.0 mm (4.0 x 4.4 inches) with a 9.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the VTX 1800 Performance Cruiser measures 332.9 kg (734 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 701 mm (27.6 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,717 mm (67.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.16-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
