Overview[edit | edit source]
Honda VT 750RS Shadow (VT 750S )
An all-rounder with attitude Honda is proud to introduce an exciting addition
to its line-up in 2010. The new Shadow RS combines easy handling, comfort and
satisfying power with styling that stands apart. The clean simplicity of its
silhouette and the deep rumble of its V-twin engine have an immediate appeal.
This is combined with the smooth performance of a thoroughly contemporary
machine. All kinds of riders, including relative newcomers, will appreciate its
proportions and light, confidence-inspiring handling. The Shadow RS also packs
enough punch to keep more experienced riders entertained and is versatile enough
for a range of uses that encompass commuting, quick weekend blasts and light
touring. Its streetwise stance cannot fail to impress in any setting. The Shadow
RS is built for good times and is always fun to ride.
Development concept
The Shadow RS was developed to deliver all-round riding enjoyment to a wide
range of riders. The seat and controls are positioned for natural, intuitive
operation and its easy handling and low fuel consumption make it an appealing
option for everyday transport.
Its engine is equally enjoyable in daily commuting as well as on longer, more
leisurely rides, thanks to classic V-twin power.
Styling
The styling of the 10YM Shadow RS integrates elements of a European
street-oriented image. Its upright and comfortable riding position is designed
for confident control and agile handling. The bodywork is compact, making it
easy to manoeuvre through narrow city streets and busy traffic.
It features an impressive V-twin engine with a traditional air-cooled look,
luxurious chrome-finished details, shining wire-spoked wheels and stylish twin
mufflers. The tank shape flows back into a short, neatly chopped tail while the
large front wheel creates an imposing street presence.
The Shadow RS makes its European debut in a grey metallic that enhances the
sleek beauty of its bodywork and the strong impact of its black-painted engine.
It creates an impressive contrast with the gleaming dual exhaust pipes and the
chromed headlight cover, grab rail and air cleaner cover that highlight its
traditional appeal.
Engine
The Shadow RS is powered by a robust and dependable liquid-cooled V-twin
engine that pumps out strong power over a broad rpm range. Easy starting,
instant throttle response and smooth, satisfying acceleration are assured by
Honda's PGM Fuel Injection system and an idle air control valve which precisely
controls incoming air for smooth idling operation. Fuel flow is also accurately
monitored to optimise efficiency, ensuring fuel consumption and emissions are
kept low.
Power delivery is focused in the low and mid range, creating a satisfying
experience of power that is easy to control and creates confidence. Close-ratio
transmission delivers powerful, exhilarating acceleration from anywhere in the
engine's power range, ensuring plenty of excitement. The engine is compact
enough to allow a low seat height and its power is delivered to the rear wheel
by a lightweight chain drive.
Heavy Grey Metallic
Chassis
The Shadow RS chassis is compact and lightweight, with geometry that creates
easy, natural handling. It is based around a strong double-cradle steel frame
with a square pipe backbone and forged steel pivot plates. The 737mm seat height
is low enough for shorter riders to place both feet on the ground, but the
footpegs and grips are high enough to create a natural, upright sitting
position, a reassuring view over surrounding traffic and a controlled ride feel.
A 19" front wheel and sturdy 41mm front forks add to the feeling of precise,
responsive control. At the rear, forward-tilted dual conventional dampers with
adjustable spring preload provide smooth, progressive damping. These combine
with a fat 150mm rear tire to deliver excellent comfort, even over long
distances or with a passenger on board. The brakes are also designed for smooth
efficient operation. The front wheel is stopped by a large 296mm disc brake with
a responsive dual-piston caliper, while the rear features a conventional 180mm
drum brake. Together, they supply assured stopping power that complements the
bike's easy, proficient control.
