In 2004, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT1100C Shadow Spirit, a cruiser-type motorcycle part of the Shadow line in Honda's range, manufactured from 1997 to 2007 with minimal changes over its production years.

Compared to the Shadow Sabre, the Spirit offered a more traditional cruiser look, with a teardrop-shaped fuel tank and more rounded lines. Also, the seating position was higher, which was better suited for taller riders, while the machines shared the same V-twin engine and transmission with similar performance and ride quality.

The 2004 VT1100C machine came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a chromed dual exhaust system, a round headlight with a chromed housing, bullet-style turn signals, a chromed engine, a two-piece dual seat with a passenger backrest, and cast aluminum wheels.

For suspension, the bike featured a 41 mm telescopic fork with 150 mm of wheel travel on the front and spring preload-adjustable dual shock absorbers on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

In the braking department, the bike packed a single 316 mm disc squeezed by a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a single drum braking unit on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.

The 2004 Honda VT1100C Shadow Spirit took its power from a 1,099cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 67 hp at 5,500 rpm and 91 Nm (67 lb-ft) of torque at 2,700 rpm.
