HONDA VTX Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

Honda introduced the VTX 1300 series in 2003. The VTX series has a muscular looking body, it is quite long and low to the ground featuring significant rake and trail. The 1800 puts out 120 lbFT(160 N·m) of torque at only 3500 rpm and 106 bhp @ 5000 rpm, making the VTX series one of the more powerful production V-twin motorcycles of its time. The VTX 1300 uses standard unlinked brakes, with a single large front disk. The 1300 also uses a carburetor unlike the fuel injected 1800, and therefore is much simpler in terms of design. Although the engine is similar to the 1800, it is not just a smaller bore/stroke but a different design.

In 2009, Honda released into the touring world the VTX1300C, a robust, reliable, and comfortable cruiser machine in its seventh year of production and part of the VTX series that comprised models with different styles and displacement engines.

In every department, the 2009 machine had the same appearance and specifications as the previous models, except for colors. The 2009 motorcycle was available in Titanium, Dark Blue Metallic, Metallic Red, and classic Black.

The VTX1300 series comprised three different models, such as the VTX1300S, released in 2003; the VTX1300C launched in 2004; and the VTX1300R, which made its appearance in 2005. Also, the VTX1300S was replaced by the VTX1300T in 2008.

As standard, the bike was equipped from the factory with a dual chromed exhaust system with bullet-style mufflers, a V-twin engine with many chromed accents, a double seat with a low riding position, a wide handlebar, and cast aluminum wheels.

The bike suspension was unchanged and featured a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front end. The rear comprised two chromed spring preload-adjustable shock absorbers for optimum performance and handling.

The braking system was carried over from the previous models, with a 336 mm disc bolted to the front wheel and a dual-piston caliper handling the front stopping power, while the rear was controlled by a 296 mm disc and a single-piston caliper.

The 2009 Honda VTX1300C boasted 74 hp with a peak at 5,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm. All the power came from a reliable 1,312cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine.

The VTX1300 series was a line of cruiser motorcycles manufactured by Honda from 2003 and comprised three models, such as the VTX1300S, the VTX1300C, and the VTX1300R. All bikes were powered by an all-new liquid-cooled V-twin engine with the same layout as the one used on the larger VTX1800 series.

Compared to the larger VTX1800 series that packed a linked braking system, the VTX1300 line of motorcycles had a standard braking system. Also, unlike the fuel-injected engine of the VTX1800 machine, the VTX1300 model packed a constant-velocity carburetor.

The first VTX1300 model was released in 2003 under the VTX1300S designation, followed by the VTX1300C in 2004 and the VTX1300R Retro launched in 2005. In 2008, Honda dropped the VTX1300S model and maintained the three models lineup by introducing the VTX1300T tourer equipped from the factory with 24-liter saddlebags, a windscreen, and a passenger backrest.

In 2009, the Japanese maker launched the VTX1300R, a robust and reliable cruiser machine that followed the steps of the VTX1300 line without any modifications. The only changes were the annual color changes, such as Metallic Silver, Metallic Black, and Bright Blue Metallic for the 2009 model.

The unique features of the 2009 machine comprised the profoundly valanced front and rear fenders, a chromed headlight housing, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a semi-swept handlebar, chromed side covers, and retro-styled cast aluminum wheels.

Also, over its production years, the bike's power output was unchanged, boasting 74 hp with a peak at 5,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm.

In 2003, Honda introduced the VTX1300 series, with the VTX1300S being the first model powered by a similar layout to the engine used on the larger VTX1800 series. The powerplant was inserted in a cruiser bodywork rolling on wire-spoke wheels.

Instead of the linked braking system used on the VTX1800 series, the VX1300 line of smaller cruiser motorcycles packed a standard braking system. Also, unlike its larger siblings fed by a fuel-injected engine, the VTX1300 was fueled by a constant velocity carburetor.

In 2009, the Japanese maker launched the VTX1300T Tourer, a touring-oriented machine packed from factory saddlebags, a windscreen for better protection, and a passenger backrest for enhanced comfort.
