Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2003, 2004
The 2003 Honda VT750 Shadow Aero may be one of the small cruisers, but there are so many things about this bike which make it a sweet ride. For starters, it's the extra confidence the low seat and weight provide to newer or smaller riders. Then, it's the obvious Indian-themes look which is worth every penny in case you like classic bikes.
Add in deeply valanced fenders, laced wheels, beefy 2-into-1 chromed exhaust, pull-back bars reaching to the sculpted seat and forward controls, plenty of available accessories and you get a bike which can be personalized and look just as well as it rides.
