HONDA VT750C Shadow Aero ABS (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2013, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT750C Shadow Aero ABS, a cruiser-style motorcycle identical to the 2013 standard model but with an additional safety feature like the ABS braking system that enhanced safety and handling capabilities.

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.

The bike packed a classic 745cc engine that delivered modern power, plenty of torque, and a wide, user-friendly powerband, while the two-into-two exhaust system with bullet-style mufflers delivered a low grunt sound typical to a V-twin cruiser.

In addition, the 2013 Aero machine came equipped with standard features, such as a two-piece seat with a detachable passenger seat, a wide handlebar, a round headlight with a chromed housing, a chromed exhaust system, wire-spoked wheels, a chrome-finished engine, and bullet-styled turn signals both front and rear.

For handling, the bike packed 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.

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 VT750C Shadow Aero ABS had its soul brought to life 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.
