What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Honda VTX 1800 C is heavier than about 90.3% of 67 Honda custom/cruiser motorcycles with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 4.49 US gal (17 L) to 4.8 US gal (18.16 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 27.9 lb (12.7 kg) to 29.8 lb (13.5 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Honda curb-weight specification.
Weight is not identical across every model year in this page. Use the year-specific section rather than assuming one figure applies to every VTX 1800 C.
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 14.23 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.
