Rather on the small side, if judged by the standards of the big-bore choppers, the 2000 Honda VT600C Shadow VLX provides enough real estate to accommodate most riders, while making it easy for shorter ones (ladies included) to reach for the ground when stopped.
Packing solid performance for the money, the bike delivers the classic v-twin rumble and feel, with classic details which leave no room for mistaking the retro design cues for something else. A skinny front wheel, with a slender fender and pull-back handles, laced wheels and plenty of chrome are complemented by the sculpted seat and peanut fuel tank. With the optional accessories, overnight trips are not a problem anymore.
