Catalogue figures available for the F1 are not verified as universal across trims. This guide shows what is documented, where to find the right reference, and what not to assume.
Which 2008 VTX1800 model do you have?
Catalogue references distinguish 2008 VTX1800F, VTX1800N, and VTX1800T entries, with model-specific codes such as F18, N18, and T18. Confirm the code on your motorcycle and its market before applying specifications or ordering. A broad “VTX1800” description alone does not establish that a manual or part fits.
The available references do not establish every trim sold in every region. If the model code or market is unclear, compare the motorcycle’s identification information with the relevant manual or parts catalogue before proceeding.
Published specifications for the 2008 VTX1800F1
Bike-Parts-Honda’s catalogue listing, with no publication year stated, describes the 2008 VTX1800F1 as a 1,795 cc, liquid-cooled, 52-degree V-twin with programmed fuel injection. The same listing gives 106 bhp at 5,000 rpm and 120 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm. These are catalogue-published figures, not independent test results, and do not establish that every trim or market has identical specifications. View the Bike-Parts-Honda catalogue.

How to check parts fitment before ordering
- Identify the motorcycle: confirm the exact trim and market, not just “VTX1800.”
- Open the matching catalogue entry: the 2008 Bike-Parts-Honda catalogue offers F18, N18, and T18 selections. Use the entry for your model.
- Compare the fiche diagram and part reference: RevZilla’s OEM fiche for the N lists categories including suspension and wheels. A diagram can help identify the relevant assembly, but it does not prove that a similar-looking component fits another trim.
- Confirm before purchase: check the specific part number and fitment against the model-specific reference, then verify availability with the seller. Do not assume interchangeability between trims without confirmation.
