2007 VT 750 Shadow Aero

OVERVIEW

  • Overview: The only thing more stunning than this machine’s sweet retro styling accents is its unbelievable price tag. Long, low, powerful and covered in chrome from the fork covers to the rear brake pedal, with spoked wheels and classic valanced fenders, the 750cc V-twin Shadow Aero delivers full-size looks and muscle at a mid-size price.

2008 VT 750 Shadow Aero

Overview:

  • Full-sized looks and 750cc performance without the full-sized price tag. Sound like a stretch? Not when you’re talking about the Honda Shadow Aero. Stunning is one way to describe its long, low, retro styling simply drenched in chrome from tip to tail and boasting classic valanced fenders, spoked wheels and five all-new colors. Staggering is another — especially once you see that all this muscular V-twin style and performance could be yours for a mid-sized price.
