Up for a new cruiser, but are not exactly looking for the classic American style? No problem, Honda prepared the VTX1800N machine, a motorcycle which successfully blends in the traditional cruiser attire and the present-day technologies for a thrilling ride. Drawing some if its design cues from as early as the 50's, the 2007 VTX1800N brings straight cut exhausts, huge fenders wrapping both wheels and smooth, fluid lines to match them.

Add in the flangeless fuel tank, llinked braking system, modern 3-valve, dual plug cylinders and the PGM fuel injection for the 1800cc-class v-twin and you've got both style and technology in one package.
