The Honda VTX series is a line of Honda V-twin cruiser motorcycles inspired by the Zodia concept shown at the 1995 Tokyo Motor Show. The Honda VTX 1800 was launched in 2001 as a 2002 model. At the time this bike was introduced the Honda VTX engine was the largest displacement production V-twin in the world, but that distinction would be short-lived as the VTX1800 was superseded in 2004 by the 2-liter Kawasaki Vulcan 2000.

VTX stands for V-Twin Extreme. A smaller VTX1300 line was introduced for the 2003 model year, which evolved into the VT1300C line starting with the 2010 model year.
In addition to the 52° V-twin layout, commonalities for the 1800 and 1300 powertrains include:
- radiator with cooling fan;

- electronic control unit with 3-D ignition maps for each cylinder;
