2008 Honda VT750C2 Shadow Spirit 750
A classic 45-degree V-twin liquid-cooled engine loaded with low-end and mid-range power makes the stylish Spirit a great choice for solo or two-up riding.
A must-be-seen-on bad boy that should have a special place in every cruiser rider's garage, the Shadow Spirit 750 (VT750C2) is a stunner in the classic dragbike mold. Bobbed fenders wrap around low tires, while dual shorty pipes snake behind a super-low, 25.7-inch seat, delivering classic custom lines, light steering and agility. Style, performance and comfort—talk about the best of all worlds.
Take a look at a whole new way to enjoy motorcycle cruising. The VT750C2 Shadow Spirit combines an eye-grabbing custom appearance with a long and low chassis and a sporty ride and feel. Sit in the sleek gunfighter-style saddle, and right away you'll notice that the seat height is extra-low yet the riding position feels more sporty than on most cruisers. A narrow front tire on a big 21-inch front wheel, combined with quicker steering geometry, gives the VT750C2 superb handling and ride comfort. Now crack the throttle and feel the strong power from the 745 cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine. For a cruiser that's like nothing else you've ever ridden, swing a leg over the VT750C2 Shadow Spirit.
