Engine:

  • The VTX engine is a 1312cc liquid-cooled 52° V-twin that delivers strong low-end and mid-range torque with ample power for passing and relaxed cruising.
  • Dual two-axis primary counter-balancers minimise harsh engine vibration without eliminating the powerful pulse feeling transmitted by the VTX's traditional V-twin design.
  • The engine mounting system uses carefully matched hangers to eliminate unwanted vibration, while preserving the powerful character of the V-twin engine.
  • Each three-valve cylinder head features two 31mm intake valves and a large, 40mm exhaust valve to produce optimum flow for the incoming air/fuel charge.
  • Simple-to-service screw-and-locknut valve clearance adjusters.
  • 38mm constant velocity (CV) carburetor offers crisp throttle response at all engine speeds.
  • Electronic control unit (ECU) provides 3D ignition maps for each cylinder, creating ideal spark advance settings for superb rideability.
  • Two spark plugs per cylinder for efficient combustion at all engine speeds.
  • A unique dry-sump oil system utilises a closed-crankcase design and places the oil tank inside the gearbox case.
  • Handsome chromed two-into-two exhaust system produces a deep exhaust note.
  • Radiator with cooling fan maintains consistent engine temperature for optimum performance and long engine life.
  • Maintenance-free automatic cam-chain tensioners.
  • Reliable electric-starter system.
  • Sturdy clutch utilises a rubber clutch-centre damper to assure smooth and quiet gear shifting.
  • Five-speed transmission with carefully selected gear ratios for relaxed cruising and exciting roll-on performance.
  • Shaft final-drive system provides smooth, low-maintenance operation.
  • New driven flange design at the final-drive gear eliminates final-drive noise and wear and simplifies rear wheel installation.

Chassis/Suspension:

  • Massive tubular steel frame contains the engine's power and gives the VTX a long, low, classic stance.
  • Large, 41mm extended front fork provides 130mm of plush yet responsive travel.
  • Dual chromed rear shocks provide 94 mm of wheel travel and feature an advanced internal valve system for a comfortable ride.
  • Front disc brake features a twin-piston caliper with a large-diameter 336mm stainless steel rotor. Combined with the rear single-piston caliper and 296mm stainless steel rotor, they provide excellent stopping power.
  • Traditional spoke wheels, with a fat, 140/80 tire on the 17-inch front wheel, give the VTX a classic profile. A beefy, 170/80-15 rear tyre puts the VTX engine's power to the ground and provides exceptional traction.

Additional Features:

  • Specially designed rider and passenger seats for all-day touring comfort. Rider's seat boasts a low, 686 mm seat height for confidence during low-speed manoeuvres.
  • Handsome tank-mounted chrome housing features a speedometer, odometer/tripmeter and indicator lights for the turn signals, high beam, neutral indicator, oil pressure and coolant temperature.
  • Electric speedometer with easy-to-read classic numerals uses an electronic speed sensor in the transmission, which eliminates the front-wheel-mounted speedometer cable. This contributes to a clean, uncluttered look.
  • Extensive chrome finishing of engine parts includes cylinder head covers, valve inspection covers, airbox cover, left crankcase cover, clutch cover and left-rear engine cover.
  • Distinctive chrome-hooded headlight housing features a powerful, 55W/60W halogen bulb with a computer-designed multi-reflector for superb lighting in all conditions.
