HONDAVT750C2 Shadow Spirit 2012 - 2013

　　It all began in 1983 when Honda released into the world a family of cruiser-type motorcycles powered by liquid-cooled V-twin engines with different displacements from 125 to 1100cc.

　　With the Shadow line of motorcycles, Honda wanted to address the needs of the American cruiser market with the VT500C and VT750C machines. Due to tariff restrictions at the time for imported Japanese bikes over 700cc, the VT750C was reduced from 750 to 700cc and sold as the VT700C.

　　In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT750C2 Shadow Spirit, a cruiser-styled motorcycle that offered a classic appearance. The 2013 Shadow Spirit came in two versions, the standard machine and the ABS version, that enhanced safety and handling.

　　In addition, the standard 2013 Shadow Spirit came equipped with standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a round headlight with a chromed housing, bullet-shaped turn signals, a chromed dual exhaust system, a chrome-finished engine, and wire-spoked wheels that enhanced the retro looks.

　　For suspension, the 2013 Spirit featured a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and dual five-way spring preload-adjustable dual shock absorbers on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

　　In the performance department, the 2013 Honda VT750C2 Shadow Spirit took its muscles from a 745cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine fed by a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system and delivered an output power of 43 hp at 5,500 rpm and 61 Nm (44 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm.
