In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT750C2A Shadow Spirit ABS, a cruiser motorcycle that came in the same package as the standard 2013 model but with an additional safety feature that enhanced its riding capabilities.

The VT750 Shadow was a line of cruiser-style machines that first debuted in 1983 as an attempt from Honda to address the needs of the American cruiser market with the VT500C and VT750C models.

Besides the additional ABS braking system, the 2013 machine came equipped 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.

For stopping power, the bike featured 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 2013 Honda VT750C2A Shadow Spirit ABS had its heartbeat set by 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.
