In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT750C2 Shadow Spirit, a middle-weight cruiser motorcycle that first debuted in 1983 and came unchanged compared to the 2013 model, with the same technical and visual specifications.
The bike offered a classic cruiser look with a low-slung seat, wide handlebar, and a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, resulting in a reliable and stylish cruiser that was the perfect match for riders who were looking for a comfortable and easy-to-ride machine.
In addition, the 2014 Shadow Spirit model came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, a round headlight with a chromed housing, bullet-shaped turn signals, a chromed dual exhaust system, a chrome-finished engine, and wire-spoked wheels that enhanced the retro looks.
For suspension, the 2013 Spirit featured a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and dual five-way spring preload-adjustable dual shock absorbers on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.
In the braking department, the bike packed a single 296 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 180 mm drum braking system on the rear that offered optimum braking performance.
As for the power figures, the 2014 Honda VT750C2 Shadow Spirit took its muscles from a 745cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine fed by a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system and delivered an output power of 43 hp at 5,500 rpm and 61 Nm (44 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm.
