HONDA VT750C Shadow Aero (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Honda VT750C Shadow Aero, a middle-weight cruiser machine that was similar to the Spirit version but with a few differences in terms of appearance and features.

Compared to the Spirit version, the Aero was different through its design, with a more classic look enhanced by a larger, more rounded fuel tank, a more traditional fender design, a more stretched profile, and the same wire-spoked wheels.

The Aero machine was powered by the same engine and featured the same braking system as the Spirit but had other additional features, such as a passenger backrest and a windshield that provided more wind protection.

In addition, the 2014 Aero model came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a spacious storage compartment in the left side cover, a chromed exhaust system, a two-piece seat with a detachable passenger seat, a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed housing, bullet-styled turn signals, and a chrome-finished engine.

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.

As for power, the 2014 Honda VT750C Shadow Aero was set in motion by 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.
