2009 Honda VT750C Shadow Spirit
Introduction
Styled for the good times, the lean and low-down
Shadow Spirit delivers up a deeply satisfying cruising
experience with stretched proportions, the lowest
seat height in its class and an exhilarating rumble
of acceleration. Equally at home on country roads,
the Spirit rolls quickly and effortlessly up to speed
at the light turn of its throttle or cruises lazily
down the road with the agreeable pulse of V-twin power.
Settle back into its contoured gunfighter seat with
your feet up on its pegs. The Shadow Spirit’s
low centre of gravity, raised handlebars and comfortably
positioned controls provide light, responsive operation
for smooth and easy handling over the road ahead.
All this and its cool, beautifully detailed looks
make the Shadow Spirit a sleek and inviting machine
that opens whole new worlds of cruising enjoyment.
Enjoy nothing less than eye-catching style, proven
Honda reliability and supreme fit and styling –
all at the best value money can buy.
