HONDAVT750DC Shadow Spirit 2002 - 2003

　　The Honda Shadow was a family of cruiser-type motorcycles manufactured by Honda from 1983 and powered by a liquid-cooled V-twin engine ranging from 120 to 1,100 cc displacement. Also, the 250cc Honda Rebel was associated with the Shadow line in certain markets.

　　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 2003, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT750DC Shadow Spirit, a cruiser-styled motorcycle that debuted in 2001 and came in the same package as the previous model without any changes.

　　Also, the bike was available with optional features, such as a custom windscreen, lots of chromed accessories, leather saddlebags, a deluxe leather tank belt, a single seat with rear fender trim, a motorcycle cover, a headlight cowl, and a radiator cowl.

　　In the performance department, the 2003 Honda VT750DC Shadow Spirit took its muscles from a 745cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 43 hp at 5,500 rpm and 61 Nm (44 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm.

　　For suspension, the bike featured a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front with 130 mm of wheel travel and five-way spring preload-adjustable dual shock absorbers on the rear with 90 mm of wheel travel for optimum suspension performance.
