The Honda Shadow refers to a family of motorcycles made by Honda since 1983. The Honda giant is a cruiser-type motorcycle, meaning it has a relaxed, feet-forward riding position and wide handlebars. This makes it more comfortable than a sportbike, although the lack of fairings means that the rider is exposed more to the wind. The Shadow cruisers come in many flavors, including the Spirit, Aero, Sabre, VLX, and American Classic Edition. Engine sizes range from 125cc to 1100cc. A characteristic engine for the Shadow motorcycle is an 750cc liquid-cooled 45-degree V-twin.
