The Yamaha XZ550 'Vision' is a 550 cc V-twin, shaft-driven sport touring motorcycle produced by Yamaha in 1982–1983. It was powered by a 4 stroke 70° liquid cooled 4 valve DOHC engine, and featured a trailing front axle and monoshock single swingarm rear.
Honda claimed that the 1800 put out 159 N⋅m (117 lbf⋅ft) of torque at only 3,000 rpm and 75 kW (101 hp) at 5000 rpm, making the VTX1800 one of the most powerful production V-twin motorcycles of its time. [2] [4] (See infobox for measured horsepower and torque values.)
The motorcycle also featured a liquid-cooled DOHC V-twin engine producing 66 horsepower and 47 ft-lbs of torque. Notably, the torque curve is quite flat, producing high torque throughout most of the rpm range. And, the engine was underrated and commonly produced 8-10% more than the advertised power during dynamometer testing. [citation needed].

The VTR1000F was introduced in 1997 using an all new 90-degree V-twin engine and a HMAS (Honda Multi-Action System) fork and shock. The bike also ushered in several new design concepts for Honda such as the semi-pivotless frame, where the engine is a stressed member with the swingarm bolted directly to it.
