Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2007, 2008
The 2008 Honda VTX1800F was a performance-cruiser machine part of the VTX series in Honda's range that debuted in 2005 with low-profile tires on five twin-spoke cast-alloy wheels and an LCD integrated into the fuel tank-mounted speedometer.
The bike came with unique features that composed its bold sport-custom performance-cruiser design, which included a bobbed front steel fender and a straight-cut rear steel fender for a drag-racing look and a low two-piece gunfighter-style seat with a removable passenger section.
In addition, the bike featured a chromed two-into-two exhaust system with five-bolt mufflers, aggressive 10-spoke racing-style cast alloy wheels, a large fuel tank with VTX decal badging, and a custom-style LED taillight.
Also, the bike was available with many Honda Genuine Accessories, including a passenger backrest, a custom windscreen, leather saddlebags, leather tank belts, a leather touring bag, and many chromed accents.
The braking power was carried over from its siblings, with a 316 mm disc and a dual-piston caliper handling the rear stopping power. The bike packed three-piston calipers on the front with two 296 mm discs for strong braking performance.
In the power department, the 2008 Honda VTX1800F performance-cruiser machine featured the same 1,795cc V-twin engine as its siblings, delivering 163 Nm (120 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm and 107 hp at 5,000 rpm.
