VT750C Shadow Press Kit

Introduction

The Shadow 750 oozes timeless American cruiser style from every curve of its classic long-and-low profile and every glint of its gorgeously polished chrome accents. Its elegant bullet-shaped headlight provides a strong point of focus, underlined by impressive chrome wrapped front fork covers, gleaming wire-spoke wheels and fat tyres. Its rumbling V-twin engine and large dual shotgun mufflers offer pulsating power, strong acceleration and a soothing sound for a deeply enjoyable ride sensation. A confidence-inspiring Combined ABS complements its low seat and laid-back riding position and enhances the feeling of easy confidence and control.*

With a generous tank and great fuel efficiency the Shadow 750 is one of the easiest, most enjoyable and most economical ways to get out on the open road and stay there.

* Supporting Honda’s ongoing commitment to the Road Safety Charter, ABS is offered across our Custom range.
