The VTX1800 Legacy

Launched in 2001, the Honda VTX1800 redefined what a cruiser could be, boasting the largest production V-twin engine in the world at the time. With a colossal 1,795cc liquid-cooled V-twin, it delivers effortless torque, long-legged cruising, and Honda’s hallmark reliability. The VTX1800 series was built for riders who wanted American cruiser style fused with Japanese precision.

The VTX1800 Family – Model Breakdown

Over the years, Honda offered six core VTX1800 styles:

• VTX1800S (Retro Spoke): Wire wheels, valanced fenders, pure old-school cruiser appeal.

• VTX1800R (Retro Cast): Same as S but with cast alloy wheels.

• VTX1800C (Custom): Shorter, stripped-down, more aggressive stance.

• VTX1800N (Neo-Retro): Modern twist on classic design, streamlined fenders, flush-mounted lighting.

• VTX1800F (Performance/Drag): Sportier ergonomics and street-cruiser edge.

• VTX1800T (Tourer): Windshield, saddlebags, and long-haul comfort.

Why the Neo-Retro (N) Model is Special

The VTX1800N takes the robust engineering of the R model and injects it with a bold, modern aesthetic Honda calls neo-retro – a fresh take on mid-20th-century American motorcycle design. Inspired by the radical Honda Rune, the N features:

• Unique sculpted fenders that follow the wheel’s curve for a massive, elegant profile.

• Flush-mounted horizontal LED tail lights – a first for a full-production Honda cruiser.

• Flangeless fuel tank – cleaner, seamless look without visible seams.

• Exclusive saddle design for improved comfort and rider flexibility.

• Cut-out rear fender rails & ribbed shock covers for distinctive detailing.

From the saddle, the N delivers the same powerful, smooth ride as the R model but with subtle ergonomic improvements, a more versatile seat, and a riding position that remains comfortable for hours. It cruises effortlessly at motorway speeds, with stable handling, precise steering, and strong linked brakes.
