Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2006, 2007
Classically-styled and still benefiting from Honda's acclaimed bike-making excellence, the 2006 VT600C Shadow VLX is a great first step into the world of middleweight cruisers. The low seat reassures shorter riders that they can get a strong foothold at low speed or when stopped, while the forward-mounted controls provide decent leg room.
Punchy, but easily maneuverable, the 583cc v-twin can deliver plenty of low-end torque, being fun and engaging, while the wide-ration 4-speed gearbox offers all-round convenience and smooth running. And with two saddlebags and a windscreen, the 2006 VT600C Shadow VLX is also ready to tour.
