The 2012 VT750C Shadow Aero is a real blast form the past, as it evokes the design and attire of the classic bikes of the 60's. A teardrop tank with tall bars, a tank-mounted instrument cluster, dual bullet exhausts, laced wheels wrapped by deeply-valanced fenders and plenty of chrome, this machine brings back the glory of the past.
The engine is liquid-cooled despite its generous fins, and from a technical point of view, the bike is all modern. And Honda's smart way to hide modern tech in plain sight makes the classic attire shine even more bright. A middleweight machine that's exceedingly maneuverable, the 2012 VT750C Shadow Aero is a nifty all-rounder cruiser.
2014 Honda VT750C Shadow Aero[edit | edit source]
If it's an Aero, then we're in for quite a lot of retro design, and the 2013 VT750C Shadow Aero is not an exception to the rule. It offers authentic retro styling for a price that's exceptionally affordable, and which adds to the overall allure of the bike. A classic and classy middleweight v-twin, the Shadow Aero is cleverly disguising present-day technology, and will provide a surprisingly actual riding stance and feel.
Liquid-cooled despite its prominent cylinder fins, and with PGM fuel injection, the 2013 Shadow Aero is on par with any other modern v-twin in its class, but has the upper hand as far as styling is concerned.
