In 2004, Honda introduced the VT600CD Shadow Deluxe, a cruiser motorcycle similar to the standard machine but with additional features and accessories.
The Honda VT600C was a cruiser-style motorcycle part of the Shadow line in Honda's range, also known as the Honda Shadow VLX, manufactured from 1988 to 2008. The VLX initials came from the V-twin engine, "L" from the low seating position, and "X" from the extended rake.
Some additional features included chrome cylinder head covers, right and left engine covers, a left rear engine cover, a passenger backrest, saddlebags, and many chrome accents that provided more comfort for both rider and passenger and extra storage for longer trips.
In addition, the bike featured standard features, such as a two-piece dual seat, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a chromed exhaust system, a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed housing, and wire-spoked wheels.
The bike was built on a double cradle steel frame that housed a 39 mm telescopic fork on the front with 145 mm of wheel travel and a single shock soft tail-style suspension on the rear with 90 mm of wheel travel for optimum suspension performance and handling.
For stopping power, the bike packed a 296 mm disc engaged by a two-piston caliper on the front wheel and a single 160 mm cable-operated drum braking unit on the rear wheel for optimum braking performance.
As for the power figures, the 2004 Honda VT600CD Shadow VLX Deluxe took its thrust from a 583cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine with an output power of 41 hp at 6,500 rpm and 51 Nm (38 lb-ft) of torque at 3,500 rpm.
