Review: Honda Shadow VT750C
|
19 September 2007 | |
The new Shadow’s retro styling is highlighted by plush saddle-type seat, a more comfortably swept set of handlebars and a new dual shotgun exhaust system that delivers an inspiring throb. All beautifully comes together in Honda’s latest 2008 generation 750cc class V-twin custom for the best fit and best styling at the best value money can buy. Not too big and not too small, the Shadow 750 provides ample power for strong acceleration combined with the soothing sound and feel of a mid-displacement V-twin engine. Monstrous power figures and blazing acceleration aren’t the most important considerations for all cruiser riders. Smaller classic cruisers are more about sitting back and enjoying the easy pleasures of the open road, and looking and feeling good while doing it. The Shadow’s power rolls on strongly and effortlessly with an easy twist of the throttle. The size, weight and proportions are ideal for a wide cross-section of riders, while the low seat height means shorter riders can relax and enjoy the trip. The Shadow 750 was introduced in 2004 as the latest version of this model to offer an attractive mix of classic and modern design themes. Its retro cruiser heritage is beautifully expressed in deeply valanced fenders, fat tyres, a remarkably low saddle-type seat and chrome-shrouded front fork tubes that convey an attractive and timeless retro look. Big enough to provide a full-bodied reserve of performance, but cheap to insure and maintain, the Shadow appeals with its comfortable long-and-low proportions, easy operation and lower cost.
