Built around Honda's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2010 Honda VTX1800N relies on a 1795 cc (109.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 90 HP (65.7 kW) at 5,200 rpm while maximum torque reaches 89 Nm (65.6 lb-ft) at 2,850 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 50.1 HP per liter and a 2,350 rpm working window between peak torque (2,850 rpm) and peak power (5,200 rpm), the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
On the scales, the VTX1800N measures 364.7 kg (804 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 HP/kg (4.05 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 696 mm (27.4 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,715 mm (67.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 20.06-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 201 km/h (125 mph).
