Segment: Custom/Cruiser
Production years: 2013, 2014
In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT750CSe Shadow Aero ABS, a middle-weight cruising machine that came in the same package as the 2014 standard model, except for the addition of the ABS braking system that added an extra level of safety.
In terms of design and specifications, the 2014 Aero ABS was identical to its predecessor, with a classic look given by the large rounded fuel tank, wire-spoked wheels, passenger backrest, windshield, and longer and stretched profile.
In addition, the 2014 Aero ABS 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 VT750CSE Shadow Aero ABS had 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.
