The '''Honda VT600C''' | The '''Honda VT600C''' was a [[cruiser]] [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] from 1988 to 2007. It is more commonly known as the '''Shadow VLX''' although some people call it the '''Shadow 600'''. A deluxe model was produced from 1993-1998 ([[Honda VT600CD|VT600CD]]). It could reach a top speed of 89 mph (143 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 38.36 ft/lbs (52.0 Nm) @ 3500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 42.11 HP (31.4 KW) @ 6500 RPM. | ||

With its tiny (0.3 gallon) tear drop tank, sparkling bodywork, softly curving dual seat and a V-twin engine, the Shadow looked great. However, its all-American look concealed the latest Japanese technology. Though it appeared to have a rigid frame, in fact it possessed an effective cantilever suspension. The 52-degree v-twin had offset cranks rather than the more common forked [[connecting rod]]s in the interest of the best possible balance, and a single overhead camshaft per cylinder controlled three valves, a favorite technology of Honda's since the [[Honda CB400T|CB400T]] of 1978. It was the secret of the excellent torque of the engine, which meant that four speeds were sufficient. | With its tiny (0.3 gallon) tear drop tank, sparkling bodywork, softly curving dual seat and a V-twin engine, the Shadow looked great.

==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] v2, four-stroke. A 75.0mm [[bore]] x 66.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 583.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead cams (ohc). | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 4-speed transmission. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 100/90-19 front [[tire]] and a 170/80-15 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a expanding [[brake]] in the rear. The VT600C was fitted with a 2.91 Gallon (11.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 407.86 pounds (185.0 Kg). | |||
