Honda VT 750D
Honda's Shadow line
of Custom Cruiser motorcycles include the
Spirit, Aero, Sabre, VLX, and VLX Deluxe.
They are generally a 1099cc liquid-cooled
45-degree V-twin engine with shaft drive.
The VT 1100 came out in 1985, the VT 750 a
few years earlier. The
Honda shadow is a cruiser type motorcycle,
meaning it has an upright riding position
and wide handle bars, this makes it more comfortable
than a sportsbike, although the lack of fairings
mean the rider is exposed to the wind.
The Shadow series was
originally introduced as a replacement for
the old rebel series, and is available in
several sizes, ranging from leaner legal (Barely)
125CC model, to a monsterous 1800CC. All Shadows
are equipped with V-twin engines, giving them
much more poke than a single cylinder engine
of equal size. The top speed of a 2001 Shadow
125 C, is roughly 80 miles an hour (128 Kilometres
per hour) which is a very good speed for a
125CC motorcycle.
