1983 - 1986 Honda VT 750 C SHADOW[edit | edit source]
Honda introduced the Shadow motorcycle line in 1983. The shadow is a cruiser motorcycle with far forward foot pegs, a full-size look and a powerful V-twin engine. The Shadow's seating and foot peg placement differ dramatically from that of sports bikes. In 1984 the U.S. increased the tariffs on 750cc engines, so Honda replaced the 750cc engines with 700cc ones. The 1986 Shadow features a few mechanical upgrades and many cosmetic changes from the 1984 and 1985 versions.
