Overview[edit | edit source]
Honda VT 750C3 DC Black Widow
Honda's Shadow Spirit 750. It's the hot-rod with a heart of
gold. And value unmatched in its class. Like the A.C.E., the Spirit is powered
by our powerful 745cc V-twin. It boasts three valves per cylinder and twin spark
plugs for maximum power and impressive low-rpm torque. Yet, because it's a
Honda, you'll be able to spend Saturday riding, not tinkering, thanks to the
maintenance-free solid state ignition and automatic cam chain adjusters.
Despite all its technology, it's the Spirit's style that shines. From its lustrous paint to the chopped rear fender, the Spirit is pure performance cruiser. There's the glitter of all that chrome and what says moxie better than twin staggered 'shotgun' mufflers.
Honda's Shadow Spirit 750. Fast on its feet. Easy on your wallet.
