　　The Honda VT1100 was a cruiser-style motorcycle part of the Shadow line in Honda's range that had its debut in 1985 and continued production until 2007 without any significant changes. All models were powered by a 1099cc V-twin engine with minimal mechanical changes during its production time.

　　The bike was introduced in 1985 as a larger model from the 750 and 800cc models and was recognizable by the dual horn system below the headlight, square turn signals, dual front disc brakes, and one exhaust pipe on each side.

　　In addition, the bike came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a two-piece dual seat with a passenger backrest, a wide handlebar, a side stand, polished cooling fins, and cast aluminum wheels.

　　The bike was built on a double cradle steel frame that housed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers on the rear that provided optimum suspension performance and handling.

　　In the braking department, the bike packed two 269 mm discs with dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 195 mm drum braking unit on the rear wheel that delivered optimum stopping power.

　　As for the power figures, the 1986 Honda VT1100 had its soul brought to life by a 1099cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine fed by two Keihin carburetors and delivered an output power of 78 hp at 6,000 rpm and 101 Nm (75 lb-ft) of torque at 4,500 rpm.

　　With a dry weight of 245 kg (540 lbs) and a five-speed manual transmission, the bike managed to reach a top speed of 172 kph (107 mph).
