2010 brings a fantastic color scheme for the Honda Shadow RS VT750RS: a tri-color arrangement with blue-purple and white as the dominant colors and a crimson stripe between the two. Racey and at the same time classic, this new livery harks back to the HRC road racing colors, bringing a fresh and supple look to this nifty middleweight cruiser.
With mid-mounted foot controls, the riding position is more upright and therefore more comfortable for both fast city carving and longer overnight hauls.
