Positioned in Honda's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Honda VTX1800T relies on a 1795 cc (109.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 101 Nm (74.5 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. 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 VTX1800T measures 362.9 kg (800 lbs) wet (curb). 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.
