HONDA VT750C Shadow Sport (2007-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2009, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT750C Shadow Sport, a mid-sized cruiser machine that shared many similarities with the Honda VT750DC Shadow Spirit.

The Sport version of the VT750C featured a sportier design than the Spirit version, with a more aggressive riding position, a lower handlebar, and a shorter wheelbase. Overall, the Sport version was a comfortable and reliable cruiser machine that offered a slightly sportier riding experience than the Spirit.

The 2009 Honda VT750C Shadow Sport benefitted from the updates brought upon the 2008 model that included a two-into-two exhaust system with bullet-styled mufflers for a classic appearance and a custom-styled Shadow tank logo. In addition, the bike featured new Candy Dark Red, Metallic Silver with Black, Black with White, Candy Dark Red with White, and classic Black color schemes.

Also, the bike featured a host of chromed elements that included the cylinder head cover, air-cleaner cover, both engine covers, brake and clutch lever brackets, rear brake pedal, shift lever, swingarm pivot cap, handlebar, rear shock covers, and headlight.

The speedometer was placed into the front of the fuel tank for a retro appearance, the single seat featured a detachable passenger seat, it packed a large custom-styled taillight and retro-styled turn signal indicators, and a steering head lock for added security.
