A 2003 Honda VTX1800 Trike is not a factory-built vehicle. It is a Honda VTX1800 motorcycle that has been professionally converted into a three-wheeled trike. Because these conversions are done by various third-party companies (such as Lehman Trikes, Champion Trikes, or others), the exact specifications can vary based on the conversion kit used. However, the core characteristics of the VTX1800 motorcycle remain the foundation of the trike.
Engine and Performance
Engine Type: The trike is powered by the same 1,795cc, liquid-cooled, 52-degree V-twin engine as the motorcycle. This engine is well-known for its massive torque.
Torque: It produces a claimed 116 lb-ft of torque at a low 3,500 rpm. This high torque is particularly well-suited for a trike, as it helps to easily move the heavier vehicle and provides strong, confident acceleration.
Fuel System: Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) ensures smooth, reliable power.
Transmission: A 5-speed transmission, designed to handle the high torque output.
Drivetrain: The VTX1800's shaft final drive is a key component that is typically retained in the trike conversion, which provides a very reliable and low-maintenance method of transferring power to the rear axle.
Chassis and Handling (Trike-Specific)
The most significant changes in a trike conversion are to the chassis and suspension.
Rear Axle: The single rear wheel of the motorcycle is replaced with a custom-built rear axle with two wheels. This axle often includes an independent or solid rear suspension setup.
Suspension: The trike conversion kit replaces the motorcycle's swingarm and rear shock with a new suspension system designed for a three-wheeled vehicle. This system often includes features like:
Independent Rear Suspension (IRS): Some higher-end kits offer this for improved ride comfort and stability over bumps.
Solid Axle: Many conversions use a solid axle, which is simpler and more durable but can result in a firmer ride.
Brakes: The trike conversion includes a new braking system for the two rear wheels. Often, the motorcycle's front brake remains, and a single foot pedal controls the brakes on all three wheels. A parking brake is a standard addition on trike conversions for safety.
Steering: The trike's steering is a major difference from a motorcycle. Since a trike does not lean into turns, the steering can feel heavy and requires more physical effort from the rider. Some trike conversion kits offer a "rake kit," which modifies the front fork angle to make steering easier.
Weight: A trike conversion adds a significant amount of weight to the motorcycle. A VTX1800 trike can weigh over 1,000 pounds, which contributes to its planted feel but requires more effort to maneuver at low speeds.
