Shadow
The Shadow reached the street with timeless style and relaxing comfort,
with a host of impressive features that boost its performance, enjoyment
and appeal
INTRODUCTION
A STYLISH CRUISER
Rolling on the throttle of the Shadow® brings a smile to the face with every powerful pulse of acceleration. Its slim and beautifully configured liquidcooled V-twin effortlessly pulls you up to cruising speed while its clean and quiet shaft drive purrs gently along beneath.
With a new fuel injections system ensuring easier starts, smoother, more responsive performance and better compatibility with the environment, the
Shadow makes complete riding enjoyment much more easily accessible to a wider range of riders, from relative newcomers to more experienced
souls rekindling an old love affair with the road.
STRONG & RESPONSIVE
Strong and responsive liquid-cooled 52 V-twin engine same as Shadow Spirit, with long-stroke single-pin crankshaft for impressive feeling of power.
Classic Honda V-twin engine features new PGM-FI fuel-injection system with single 34mm throttle body, dual injectors and IACV (Idle Air Control
Valve) for smoother, stronger and more responsive performance, better fuel economy and lower emissions.
Smooth-shifting five-speed transmission. Clean, quiet and maintenance-free shaft drive.
EYE CATCHING STYLE
The Shadow’s attractive retro styling is highlighted by plush saddle-type seat, a comfortably swept set of handlebars and a new dual shotgun
exhaust system for the sound and feel of the perfect accompaniment to any time spent in its saddle. All beautifully comes together in Honda’s latest
generation 750cc class V-twin Custom for the best fit and best styling at the best value money can buy.
Brilliantly polished and chromed eyecatchers, the curved pipes of the Shadow’s® attractive exhaust system flow into long, large-diameter silencers,
designed to deliver a throaty rumble of V-twin power that never fails to excited. Saddle-type solo rider’s seat is one of the lowest and most
comfortable in its class.
Deeply balanced front and rear mudguards feature distinctive ‘aero’ lines. Prominent, chrome-plated tank-mounted instrument panel with large,
easy-to-read speedometer. Slimline high-capacity radiator integrated between frame downtubes for a clean and stylish look that seems to disappear
from view when seen from the side.
CHASSIS & SUSPENSION
Large-diameter 296mm front disc brake moved from left side to right, same side as exhaust system for enhanced balance of weight and gyroscopic
effect, resulting in enhanced steering neutrality and stability.
Low-slung double-cradle steel frame with large-diameter single tube backbone and pressed steel pivot plates. Shrouded 41mm hydraulic front fork
comfortably soaks up the bumps while providing confident control in virtually all riding situations.
Large 120/90–17 front and 160/80–15 rear tyres grab attention while providing an easy-handling ride. Responsive 180mm leading/trailing shoe rear
drum brake. Fuel injection and emissions control system increases weight slightly, though dual exhaust is actually lighter than earlier 2-into-1
system.
