HondaShadow 750 Black Spirit

Description

American-style custom cruisers have a strong appeal
for riders across Europe. As well as a low seat height
and easy riding style, they come with a rebellious
attitude and a style that sets their owners apart from
the crowd.The Honda Custom range comes with extralow
seats, sensational V-twin engines and clean,
maintenance-free drive shafts. Honda cruisers are built
for laid-back, easy riding. Featuring authentic styling,
they are also extremely good value to own and run,
inspiring all kinds of riders, from entry-level to seasoned
bikers.
In 2007 Honda launchedthe popular VT750DC Shadow
Spirit. Based on the VT750 Shadow, it took similar
design cues from classic cruiser tradition. However,
the Shadow Spirit took the concepta step further with
more traditional street rod styling, a leaner, meaner
profile and a riding position that submerged the rider
deep down in the bike for a thrilling experience of
the engine’s power. A new PGM-FI fuel injection
system intensified the ride while improving fuel
efficiency and emissions, and a large 17” front wheel
gave it an unmistakable presence on the street.
In 2010, Honda proudly introduces the Black Spirit, an
intense variation on the Shadow Spirit theme with
authentic bobber styling and a pure, minimalistic spirit.
In one basic colour, its bold character comes to
the fore, making its beefy performance and easy
ownership all the more pleasurable.

Styling
To true custom bike aficionados, style is important and
any lapse in attention to detail is unforgivable.
The Shadow 750 Black Spirit is a perfectly turned-out
celebration of an iconic style and culture. From its
bobbed tail to its assertive front wheel, every contour is
carefully styled. Its bold, kicked-out forks and raised
handlebars provide the point of focus from which it
leans back into a long, tapered tank.
The instrument panel is placed on top of the gleaming
tank. It features a large, easily readable speedometer
dial, a compact assembly of practical gauges and
indicator lights and an eye-catching silver-painted
cover. The seat is easily the lowest in the 750cc cruiser
class and creates a deep riding position that allows an
easy reach to the grips and a laid-back cruiser feel.

Colouring Concept

The 2010 Shadow 750 Black Spirit is available in only
one colour, a striking Graphite Black which is
highlighted by a number of exclusive trims and details.
As well as the fenders, tank and seat, the short, semidrag-
style handlebars receive a new black colouring.
The tail-light, headlight, air cleaner cover and rear
shocks are also black. The centrepiece is a striking,
black-painted engine with cast-in fins that give it
a traditional air-cooled look. These features present
a strong contrast to the luxuriously gleaming silver of
the dual muffler, front forks and custom-look rear
fender struts. The overall image is sophisticated and
clean-cut.
