In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT750C Shadow Aero, a cruiser-style motorcycle that shared many similarities with the VT750DC Spirit and the VT750C Phantom.

The Shadow Aero machine offered a classic cruiser design with a long, flowing style and a low seat height and came in a Black, Red, or Silver livery. Overall, the Aero version was a comfortable and reliable cruiser that offered both a classic look and feel.

In addition, the bile packed a tank-mounted speedometer with an attractive chrome instrument housing, solid aluminum footpegs with wide rubber trim bands for a custom-made look, a wide handlebar placed low for a comfortable feel with rubber mounts for fewer vibrations, a long seat with a detachable passenger seat, and a stylish 14-liter fuel tank.

Also, the bike was adorned with a host of chromed elements, such as the cylinder head cover, both left and right engine covers, brake and clutch lever brackets, rear brake pedal, shift lever, handlebar, rear shock covers, and headlight.

For suspension, the bike featured a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front with 130 mm of wheel travel and five-way spring preload-adjustable dual shock absorbers on the rear with 90 mm of wheel travel for optimum suspension performance.

In the braking department, the bike packed a 296 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a single 180 mm drum braking unit on the rear wheel for optimum stopping power.

For power, the 2013 Honda VT750C Shadow Aero took its muscles from a 745cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 43 hp at 5,500 rpm and 61 Nm (44 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm.
