I love my 1800c. My favorite part is when riding 2-up it still never lacks for power/torque. It really is a beast. My least favorite thing is that its not a 6 speed and it needs to be.
ive been riding 40+ yrs...never did and never will split lanes..guys who do this..deserve whatever happens to them...assholes like that give true bikers a bad name
I love the sound of turning on the fuel injector (fi) in the morning. Such a great bike that keeps going and going and going. Honda why did you stop making that great machine. Bring it back updated with a fuel gauge.
this is the bike that made me love motorcycles, when I was real little I would ride on it with my grandpa and just hearing it turn on was enough to make me want to ride bikes it has such an amazing sound
I had one for 5 years with a power commander and an advanced breather system and straight pipes. Beautifully balanced and fast as hell. An amazing scoot! I would like another.
Great bike. I have an 02, 38,000 miles, Hypercharger , Power Commander and V& H exhausts. Very few problems, except Honda's rear wheel bearings are shit, replaced em twice until my shop recommended aftermarket bearings. Besides that, had the water pump crap out once, but that's it.

I want one of those engines for a 2 stroke conversion project. there a lot of room on those jugs to cut ports into them, i am thinking of using my yz-250 port pattern and domed billet aluminum heads and get rid of the ugly valve-train. Big harley v-wins make for a nice 2 stroke conversion also. something like this:th-cam.com/video/RWO-QvjZqkQ/w-d-xo.html. Thats a Honda GX converted to a uniflow 2 stroke.

I ride the 1300C, great bike, smooth, more than enough power, runs all day. Even with the aspirated carbs it scoots. Looks good, feels good. My is 2004, bought it with 16,000 miles on it, now has 36,000 and is fitted out and maintained better. This is fantastic engine.

I test rode the VTX 1800 and 1300. The 1800 had more torque and power (as expected) but I found the sound and feel of the VTX1300 was more satisfying with its single pin crankshaft design (vs dual pin) I bought the 1300. Kept it several years, then sold and bought a Yamaha Stratoliner 1900.
Grip the handle bars your knuckles turn White with desire, the wheels of this VTX Exploding on the Hwy like a Slug from a 45. Tru Death, this 110 Hp Maximum performance piercing the Night! I call Mine, Black Sunshine!
Great bikes; I went with the 1300 carbureted; love how it sounds with vanes and Hines; Reliable, stylish, great power, great price on used ones, be nice to see a newer version
Too bad Honda quit making an excellent machine. Where I live, people by the thousands are still wanting new VTX 1800s but will never get them for what ever reason. Just like H.D. and a few others. They have a gold mine and then stop. It makes no since what so ever.
They couldn’t sell them in the last few years of production,and had new ones still up to 2011 in some dealerships. They were made in marysville Ohio .converted that plant to cars. Now there more popular to some.

2003, C model, Mine now has 110k hard miles. I left it stock although I worked in a shop and could have done what ever. This is the toughest bike I have ever owed. 3 rear tires a year for the 1st 3 years! Just to give you an idea. Funny thing,, not many bike people know what these beasts are until you dust their ass in a rode race lol. Many guy's ask, what have I done to this bike because they know I worked in a shop. They don't believe it' stock! lmao...
2005 f1 model. Definitely underrated sleeper for sure. The name Honda is synonymous with reliability. I've skywalked so many Harley's and leave their heads shaking. I'll never get rid of this beast!
I have owned two 1800F models, great bike, I only wish Honda would have come out with a real touring version, fairing, hard locking saddle Bags and Trunk, and for sure a bigger gas tank!
There's enough aftermarket to create one of the best baggers money can buy with an 1800R model, the whole thing flows perfectly, and so beautiful, yet still powerful.
My Harley Davidson broke down so much I bought a 1800 F for a spare. Guess what, sold the shitty Harley and am loving the VTX. The kid who bought my Harley is happy to have it. Last I heard the trans blew to peices at 25k miles. I'm expecting 200k + from the Honda. I'm too old to push a fuckin Harley home.
Aftermarket exhausts that sound like heavy equipment - rode one bone stock that sounded great-I could hear it just fine. I think it's note was able to reassemble a champagne glass!
I am a fan of all Honda built products, but this machine sounds much better with stock exhaust. The pipes put on these remind me of someone beating on a metal trash can.
Your Nightmare Great. But the VTX1800 still just sounds awful. No fixing the basic engine flaw. The crankshaft is the problem. The 1300 is a much better bike. It has a single crankpin for both rods.
The Vance and Hines sound just dandy on this bike with a set of quite baffles installed. Takes the "tinny" sound out of it and gives it a deeper tone. It'll never sound like a Harley Davidson if that's what you're after....so I guess you'll just have to settle for its other attributes, like smoother, more powerful, more technologically advanced, more fuel efficient, better built, longer lasting, etc
Judging from those license plates, this was not filmed in the USA. That being said, it is legal in some states in the the U.S.. I think California is one of them.
I've had a many a good Honda, Last one was a VTX1300, My only con there was it needed 6 speed trans. I said I would own a VTX 1800 , But never could find one near me for sale, I liked. But they don't have 6 speed trans either, Come on Honda Put that 6th gear in there!
130k on mine and still eats Harley’s. There is no more powerful cruiser for the money then the VTX 1800. The M109R is a monster to but you’re not going to get an M109R for under six grand and less it has a ton of miles on it. I’ve had my VTX 1800 since 2013 and I will never ever get rid of it.
Great video of the 1800 VTX. By the way; white lining is NOT a good thing to do! Splitting traffic requires that auto drivers see you and know what you want to do; bad assumption!
I love my vtx1800, looking into putting 14 inch ape hangers on my my fat girl, I really wish honda would've continued producing this monster engine, the interstate is basically an upgraded vtx but sadly it only comes with a 1300, same with the fury it would really be a monster with an 1800
Not knocking anyone's bike I just put a 205/60 16 car tire on my 2008 vtx and it hooks and books now. I was burning through dunlops. I got older so I gave up my R1 for a cruiser. I choose the vtx or the raider for personal reasons they are both stupid fast but I live in Harley country and i have embarrassed anyone who has raced me so far. I know there's always some one faster and I'll line up to them eventually but I am a vtx fan.
I have a 2006 VTX1800F, and I put a Bridgestone 215/45RF18 on it. Took a little bit of work to get it on the rim, but well worth the effort. Looks and rides great !
It's a trade off for way better brakes, fuel injection and power. I was surprised the 1800 was only 50 lbs heavier than the 1300. I went with the 1800 F. Sounds mechanical, goes like hell.😎
Блин блинский на таком монстре в междурядье нужен наверное не малый опыт передвигаться , по полосам скользким вообще вдвойне , вес то у него на минуточку Карл...... килограмм 350 !
They run best with BuB pipes and Power Commander 1 put the open air breather on them 180 rear tire is the biggest you can put on the stock rear end without modefing the Axel cover.
The man drives like a wholesale incompetent. He displays a complete disregard to any other vehicles on the road. This is the type of rider that gives a bad name to all motorcyclists.
That's actually perfectly legal in most countries. There is nothing particularly dangerous about lane-splitting and other road users are unperturbed by it and even expect it. In my own experience, in countries where this is legal, drivers are more confused by a motorcycle that behaves like a car in traffic than they are by one that behaves like a motorcycle.
A properly ridden motorcycle displays due regard for other traffic on the road, and recognizes that it too is just another vehicle on the road. A motorcycle driven in the manner above, incites road rage among other cars and trucks, and confirms their opinion, that motorcycle operators in general are a pack of anti-social hooligans. Now, I, by no means, hold up myself as a perfect example of how to drive a motorcycle; I confess to having made some stupid, bonehead moves in my time, yet I can say that the overwhelming majority of the time, I ride in a manner consistent with the "safety rules" of the road. You say that lane splitting is safe, and expected by other drivers and such behaviour doesn't bother them. Permit me to wholeheartedly disagree. I argue that such selfish behaviour angers other drivers, leading to lack of regard for bikers in general. I agree that it is certainly possible to abuse the advantages that the small size and great acceleration of a motorcycle can bring, but, just because it is possible, does that mean it's best for all road users in general? Certainly I can hardly speak for more than myself,, but, as both a car driver, and a motorcyclist, I know the anger I feel when I see some uncaring biker weaving in and out of traffic, and cutting in front of me, forcing me to hit the brakes to avoid him splattering himself on my front bumper, then claiming that I rear ended him. I'd love to "accidentally" open my door as one of these uncaring and arrogant types squeezed between me and the car beside me. Awww... Oopsie.
You missed an important point. Lane-splitting is the safest and expected behaviour in many parts of the world. That it isn't tolerated where you live and may even incite road rage amongst your local drivers in no way changes the above statement.
You say that such behaviour is expected and safe; I continue to maintain that it may be expected, but it is not safe. That it is quite legal where you live, and in other parts of the world I quite concede. That does not, however, mean that it is either safe or courteous. How would you feel if such behaviour was indulged in by car drivers? Picture other cars "splitting lanes" beside or in front of you. You may argue that a motorcycle is much smaller and more nimble, and I would say that some are, but when it comes to full-sized motorcycles, they are but little, if any, smaller than many compact cars on the road. If such behaviour be frowned upon for those cars, then why is it tolerated for a motorcycle? Certainly my arguments and feelings ain't gonna change the world just because I don't like it. Fortunately, we are both entitled to our different feelings, and your opinion is every bit as valuable as mine. Thank you for your courteous reply to my post. Dan.
if you would have seen the wreck i seen back in the 70s when a guy was splitting lanes and a child dropped a toy out the window and when the kid opened the door, the bike came in , killed the boy of 8 inthe back seat , killed the 12 year old girl in the front seat passenger side, and the rider lived for about 4 hours if i remember, that is the best reason i have seen about why a bike rider should not split lanes,
If you have a VTX 1800 C put the handlebars from a 2000 Honda Shadow Ace 750 Deluxe they fit great and they're comfortable especially if you're over 5:9
Harley Davidson cried like a little baby that Honda's 1800 looked similar to their 1800cc cruiser and that Honda's bike was affecting their sales. Obviously Harley Davidson was threatened but what an amazing looking and reliable motorcycle Honda made why would anyone buy a Harley if Honda continued to make this bike.
I do not agree with top speed saying 125mph by personal experience. Just saying. Unless you’re talking about stock. But all bikes on here have an exhaust and look custom so......
That lane splitting at the end is an example of a horrific decision on a bike not suited for that behavior, however...If you definitely want to fk your bike up, and possible yourself, it's a great choice. There's a time for that, and a situation where it's fine, that was *not* one of those.
Why are all those alloy rims dull and dingy I use diamond polish my rims now look chrome it'll take some time practice makes perfect I guarantee will look completely different but one you start you will have to keep going use drill and polish pads mother's alloy cleaner or white diamond their is more but I used that
I've ridden all kinds of motorcycles and my 2002 vtx1800r has been my favorite. I'll die before I'd sell it. It's a beast
I love my 1800c. My favorite part is when riding 2-up it still never lacks for power/torque. It really is a beast. My least favorite thing is that its not a 6 speed and it needs to be.

I love my vtx1800, looking into putting 14 inch ape hangers on my my fat girl, I really wish honda would've continued producing this monster engine, the interstate is basically an upgraded vtx but sadly it only comes with a 1300, same with the fury it would really be a monster with an 1800
I have a 2007 vtx 1300,I'm looking for an 1800,if you ever want to sell it,let me know
Just a MATTER OF TIME .☠️☠️☠️YOU ARE CRAZY.
The problem wit dat bike is they don’t make it anymore

Ya, and there is a reason they don't make it any more. It didn't sell very good and sounds like shit.
Not knocking anyone's bike I just put a 205/60 16 car tire on my 2008 vtx and it hooks and books now. I was burning through dunlops. I got older so I gave up my R1 for a cruiser. I choose the vtx or the raider for personal reasons they are both stupid fast but I live in Harley country and i have embarrassed anyone who has raced me so far. I know there's always some one faster and I'll line up to them eventually but I am a vtx fan.
Thats called DARKSIDE (darksiding) only way to fly when you have big power
@@sargentt6003 Your absolutely right.
I have a 2006 VTX1800F, and I put a Bridgestone 215/45RF18 on it. Took a little bit of work to get it on the rim, but well worth the effort. Looks and rides great !
The 1300 sounds waaaaaay better
Sure does. The twin pin in these bikes sound like shit
Dan d ...I had 2006 1300C....fantastic bike
It's a trade off for way better brakes, fuel injection and power. I was surprised the 1800 was only 50 lbs heavier than the 1300. I went with the 1800 F. Sounds mechanical, goes like hell.😎
Блин блинский на таком монстре в междурядье нужен наверное не малый опыт передвигаться , по полосам скользким вообще вдвойне , вес то у него на минуточку Карл...... килограмм 350 !
They run best with BuB pipes and Power Commander 1 put the open air breather on them 180 rear tire is the biggest you can put on the stock rear end without modefing the Axel cover.
I wish my KAW 2.0 was shaft drive.
Main they got a better sound almost better than the Harley Davidson I wish Honda would bring these bikes back
Got the R model.

HRLYETR.
My Plate says: SEE YA
I have kept the original stock exhaust system because it sounds the best to me that way. I’m nit into the loud pipes thing.
I agree I love the stock exhaust sound but it's so heavy, the exhaust system is almost 30 pounds
It will do more than 125...not sure how I know...
Me gusta como suena si
Horale! Mi Encanta!
Lane splitting is one of the dumbest things to do. I don't know why they allow this.....
super sprzęt
Please tell me what those meters are on your right side Handel bars are.😈😉
The man drives like a wholesale incompetent. He displays a complete disregard to any other vehicles on the road. This is the type of rider that gives a bad name to all motorcyclists.
That's actually perfectly legal in most countries. There is nothing particularly dangerous about lane-splitting and other road users are unperturbed by it and even expect it. In my own experience, in countries where this is legal, drivers are more confused by a motorcycle that behaves like a car in traffic than they are by one that behaves like a motorcycle.
A properly ridden motorcycle displays due regard for other traffic on the road, and recognizes that it too is just another vehicle on the road. A motorcycle driven in the manner above, incites road rage among other cars and trucks, and confirms their opinion, that motorcycle operators in general are a pack of anti-social hooligans. Now, I, by no means, hold up myself as a perfect example of how to drive a motorcycle; I confess to having made some stupid, bonehead moves in my time, yet I can say that the overwhelming majority of the time, I ride in a manner consistent with the "safety rules" of the road. You say that lane splitting is safe, and expected by other drivers and such behaviour doesn't bother them. Permit me to wholeheartedly disagree. I argue that such selfish behaviour angers other drivers, leading to lack of regard for bikers in general. I agree that it is certainly possible to abuse the advantages that the small size and great acceleration of a motorcycle can bring, but, just because it is possible, does that mean it's best for all road users in general? Certainly I can hardly speak for more than myself,, but, as both a car driver, and a motorcyclist, I know the anger I feel when I see some uncaring biker weaving in and out of traffic, and cutting in front of me, forcing me to hit the brakes to avoid him splattering himself on my front bumper, then claiming that I rear ended him. I'd love to "accidentally" open my door as one of these uncaring and arrogant types squeezed between me and the car beside me. Awww... Oopsie.
You missed an important point. Lane-splitting is the safest and expected behaviour in many parts of the world. That it isn't tolerated where you live and may even incite road rage amongst your local drivers in no way changes the above statement.
You say that such behaviour is expected and safe; I continue to maintain that it may be expected, but it is not safe. That it is quite legal where you live, and in other parts of the world I quite concede. That does not, however, mean that it is either safe or courteous. How would you feel if such behaviour was indulged in by car drivers? Picture other cars "splitting lanes" beside or in front of you. You may argue that a motorcycle is much smaller and more nimble, and I would say that some are, but when it comes to full-sized motorcycles, they are but little, if any, smaller than many compact cars on the road. If such behaviour be frowned upon for those cars, then why is it tolerated for a motorcycle? Certainly my arguments and feelings ain't gonna change the world just because I don't like it. Fortunately, we are both entitled to our different feelings, and your opinion is every bit as valuable as mine. Thank you for your courteous reply to my post. Dan.
if you would have seen the wreck i seen back in the 70s when a guy was splitting lanes and a child dropped a toy out the window and when the kid opened the door, the bike came in , killed the boy of 8 inthe back seat , killed the 12 year old girl in the front seat passenger side, and the rider lived for about 4 hours if i remember, that is the best reason i have seen about why a bike rider should not split lanes,
If you have a VTX 1800 C put the handlebars from a 2000 Honda Shadow Ace 750 Deluxe they fit great and they're comfortable especially if you're over 5:9
You got any pics, want to change my handle bars
Sound... So much sound

Bad motor that’s why
Is it hard driving it?
It's not a Starter bike for sure.
Once your a Trained Professional, it's a Beautiful thing!
I like the bike but the twin pin sounds terrible.
Harley Davidson cried like a little baby that Honda's 1800 looked similar to their 1800cc cruiser and that Honda's bike was affecting their sales. Obviously Harley Davidson was threatened but what an amazing looking and reliable motorcycle Honda made why would anyone buy a Harley if Honda continued to make this bike.
I do not agree with top speed saying 125mph by personal experience. Just saying. Unless you’re talking about stock. But all bikes on here have an exhaust and look custom so......
Dude gon die riding like that.
Well I don’t split cars like that but maybe it is ok I just wouldn’t do it
That was a mile of cars. If he hadn't done it, he might still be in line,
That lane splitting at the end is an example of a horrific decision on a bike not suited for that behavior, however...If you definitely want to fk your bike up, and possible yourself, it's a great choice. There's a time for that, and a situation where it's fine, that was *not* one of those.
2:07😍😍😍😍
What weird stoneage camera is that?
I liked mine. It just ran too hot for me.
4:00....what bars are those?
Why are all those alloy rims dull and dingy I use diamond polish my rims now look chrome it'll take some time practice makes perfect I guarantee will look completely different but one you start you will have to keep going use drill and polish pads mother's alloy cleaner or white diamond their is more but I used that
I’ve got a 2006 1800 R it goes to my son one day we’ll never sell “Kong”
Lane splitting is one of the stupidest things you can do on a bike.
