HONDA VTX1800T Tourer (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2007, Honda added a new model with enhanced touring capabilities to the VTX line of cruiser motorcycles. The 2007 VTX1800T combined retro-styling with long-distance touring accessories, which made it the most potent V-twin tourer ever.

The VTX1800T came equipped with standard features, including a custom windscreen for rider and passenger touring comfort, 24-liter saddlebags for extra storage, a chromed backrest for passenger comfort, and an exclusive tourer badge on the front fender.

Some unique features of the touring machine included deeply valanced steel front and rear fenders, wedge-shaped mirrors for a more aerodynamic appearance, a large fuel tank that offered excellent range, bullet-style turn signals, and a slash-cut dual exhaust system.

Like its siblings, the VTX1800T's suspension was handled by a 45 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front and five-position spring preload-adjustable shock absorbers on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

Also, the braking system was carried unchanged from the first VTX1800 model, with two 296 mm discs and three-piston calipers on the front wheel. The rear wheel had a 316 mm disc and a dual-piston caliper for strong stopping power.

In the performance department, a 1,795cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine powered the 2007 Honda VTX1800T Tourer, sending to the ground a force of 107 hp at 5,000 rpm and 163 Nm (120 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.

In addition, the 2007 machine came with bodywork available in three color schemes: Black with Red, Dark Blue Metallic with Metallic Silver, and Black.
