HONDA VT600CD Shadow VLX Deluxe (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda VT600C was a cruiser-style motorcycle, also known as the Shadow VLX, born in 1988 and continued until 2008. The bike was part of the Shadow family in Honda's range, while the VLX initials came from the V-twin engine, "L" from the low seating position, and "X" from the extended rake.

In 2007, the motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT600CD Shadow VLX Deluxe. This motorcycle packed additional features and accents compared to the standard model and was identical to its predecessor without any changes whatsoever.

The bike's 583cc V-twin engine was borrowed from the Honda Translap model and was bolted to a four-speed manual transmission. The bike was also sold in Brazil from 1998 to 2005, while the Brazilian models packed a five-speed manual transmission.

The bike packed standard factory equipment 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, wire-spoked wheels, a passenger backrest, saddlebags, and a host of chromed accents.

The 2007 Honda VT600CD Shadow VLX Deluxe machine was powered by a 583cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 41 hp at 6,500 rpm and 51 Nm (38 lb-ft) of torque at 3,500 rpm.

Overall, the VT600CD Deluxe was a reliable and comfortable machine that handled both commuting and leisure ridings and was an excellent choice for beginner and intermediate riders who preferred cruiser-style motorcycles.
