HONDA VT Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

The Honda Shadow was a family of cruiser-type motorcycles manufactured by Honda from 1983, powered by a liquid-cooled V-twin engine ranging from 120 to 1,100 cc displacement. Also, the 250cc Honda Rebel was associated with the Shadow line in certain markets.

With the Shadow line of motorcycles, Honda wanted to address the needs of the American cruiser market with the VT500C and VT750C machines. Due to tariff restrictions at the time for imported Japanese bikes over 700cc, the VT750C was reduced from 750 to 700cc and sold as the VT700C.

In 2015, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda VT750C Shadow Spirit ABS, a middle-weight cruiser machine that offered a classic appearance and came without any changes compared to the previous models.

The bike 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 handling, the 2015 Spirit ABS 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 1983, the Honda VT500FT Ascot was available in Pearl Siren Blue and Candy Bourgogne Red, while in 1994, it was available in Gloss Black and Metallic Red, which was similar to the 1983 Candy Bourgogne Red but with a slightly darker red base coat.

Some of the notable differences between the 1983 and 1984 machines included the wheels, where the 1983 model featured thick rims and the 1984 thin rims, the foot controls of the 1983 model were chrome, and the 1984 model were galvanized black, the tank decals featured different shades of gray, and the wiring change for the 1984 model.

For suspension, the bike featured an air-assisted telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers on the rear for optimum suspension performance and handling.

In the braking department, the bike packed a single disc with a dual-piston caliper on the front wheel and a drum braking unit on the rear that offered optimum stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 1983 Honda VT500FT Ascot took its muscles from a 491cc four-stroke V-twin liquid-cooled engine fitted with two Keihin carburetors that helped deliver an output power of 50 hp at 9,000 rpm and 42 Nm (31 lb-ft) of torque at 7,000 rpm.
