Honda VTX1800F: Have Triumph and Kawasaki made the big Honda a middle-weight cruiser?
Article Abstract:
The new Honda VTX1800F has a wide 18-inches rear wheel carrying a 180/55-18 low-profile radial tire, a superbike look rather than a cruiser-typical, tall-sidewalled 16-incher on the other VTX models. The new bike priced at $12,899 features a 67.4 inches wheelbase, top speed of 127mph, liquid-cooled V-Twin engine, and displacement of 1795cc.
