- Review of the Honda Shadow 750 ACE motorcycle.
Honda VT750 Shadow
- Honda's American Custom motorcycle has an excellent reputation for its combination of comfort, style, excellent performance and, at the same time, ease of riding for riders of any size, and all this at a very reasonable price. Traveling is a calm state of mind, and you can maintain it during the journey, no matter what happens. The Shadow VT750C will help with this with its brilliant style and pulsating energy. You will experience riding pleasure. The beautiful liquid-cooled V-twin engine accelerates the motorcycle easily, and the clean and quiet exhaust purrs softly under you.
Open the throttle and enjoy the unstoppable power. Could an easy life be any sweeter? With the Shadow, it doesn't matter where the road takes you, because with this bike it's always fun.
Design
Over the long history of production, the motorcycle was produced in various colors.
- The only detail that has not been changed is the frame, its design and geometry. Steel was used for rigidity, and a tubular design was used for lightness, controllability, and maneuverability.
- Depending on the year of production, the modifications had different sizes, separate technological solutions and features. But with the exception of a few models that differed only in color and body kit, these were different motorcycles with completely different settings.
- The suspension was done according to the standard. The front is on a telescopic fork, the rear is on a pendulum base. The fork used a conventional type, but over 30 years its travel decreased from 145 mm (NV750 Custom) to 117 mm (Aero and Phantom).
- A distinctive feature of the line is the presence of a pair of shock absorbers at the rear, but they also have a smaller travel stroke - from 105 mm to 80 mm.
Aero and Phantom are still on the production line and are available for order both new and used.
Exterior
The cruiser type requires a full set of lights, instruments, mirrors, and, sometimes, wind protection.
Front end
- The ACE (American Classic Edition) model, launched in 1997, received the windshield inherited from the first versions. It is large, curved to fit the body kit, and according to reviews, it protects the pilot well. In subsequent modifications it is removed. In addition, the model is distinguished by an elongated front fender and a large amount of chrome, typical of American motorcycles. The Slasher model (other names Shadow Spirit, Black Widow) 2000 and all subsequent ones are produced with a shortened wing.
The photo shows a 1997 Honda Shadow ACE 750 with its original windshield.
- The motorcycle's fork stays are bare. Only the Black Spirit modification receives small covers for the height of the wheel. Since the model is a close relative of the Aero (the only difference is the color), the covers can be installed independently.
- The head optics are repeated from version to version. Its role is played by a large round headlight. The turn indicators are placed on the fork legs and attached at its level. The headlight is surrounded by a symbolic body kit.
To fix the direction indicators, a special hollow bracket is used, inside of which the wiring runs.
- Thanks to the long pillars, the mirrors do not interfere between the rows, giving a relatively large picture. But the mount on the steering wheel, the angle of bend and the height of which changed from version to version, sometimes creates problems with the overview of the situation. The height of the steering wheel and the bend angle of the tube changed from purely chopper on the Slasher and Aero versions to the standard European one - Black Spirit.
Dashboard
We will describe this part using the Phantom model, which is still offered by the manufacturer. The set in front of the user is small. One large dial electronic speed indicator, and several lights.
The instrument panel of this bike is a dial speedometer located in the fuel tank trim.
The indicator is marked up to 190 km/h or 200 mph (for American models). There are 3 indicators scattered above it:
- high beam;
- rotation (1 piece for both directions);
- half a beer is not enough.
All three indicators are located on the plate that holds the front fork legs together.
In addition to them, 4 more lay under the speedometer glass;
- neutral;
- change the oil;
- engine temperature;
- check engine.
The mileage counter is also displayed in a separate window on the speedometer. It's digital.
On some models, the turn signal light is located under the speedometer glass.
The dial is located quite low, in the American style, it will not be easy to see the readings without lowering your head.
Back view
- The rear optics are presented in a complete set. The turns are taken outside the bike on their own racks. Stop and size are traditionally collected under one glass. It should be noted that most modifications have (!!!) a rear wing, and red signals are on it, so it will be difficult not to see them. But, although there is space for a luggage rack on the bike, there is none; installing some kind of hanging structure can cover the lights.
- The saddle is divided into two parts according to the bicycle principle, the passenger sits on the rear wheel. Craftsmen often change it entirely, making it for themselves and the second back number - the length of the base allows it.
- The fuel tank is located as standard - in front of the driver. Over 30 years it grew from 12.5 to 14 liters. Intermediate versions had 10 liters.
Dimensions and weight
The geometric parameters of the Honda Shadow 750 have changed many times.
Because Shadow 750 is not the only model, but a whole series of modifications, and their external parameters also differ.
- Dry weight started from 211 (in 1983) to 246 (2018) kg.
- Equipped, with fully filled tanks - 225 (1983) to 263 (2018) kg.
And the dimensions also changed;
- The length changed 8 times from 2191 (NV750 Custom) to 2511 (Aero).
- Width - 10 times from 860 (NV750 Custom) to 940 (Aero).
- Height - 10 times from 1199 (NV750 Custom) to 1091 (Aero).
- Seat height - 760 (NV750 Custom) to 660 (Aero).
It is worth noting that Aero was developed in 2003; subsequent models had smaller dimensions. The exception is seat height. All earlier and later developments were larger.
For whom is it intended?
The motorcycle can be comfortable for people of different heights, depending on the modification.
Despite such variations in size, the engineers did not forget about the user.
The bike cannot be called universal, since they chose different modifications, but the developers managed to please everyone.
Repair and tuning
Any modification of the Honda Shadow VT750C can be serviced or repaired independently without any problems. Over the past decades, practically nothing has changed in the design of this motorcycle, so, armed with a manual, any biker who has at least once tinkered with a Ural or other fiend of the Soviet motorcycle industry in the garage can easily figure it out.
Repair
If there are no serious problems, there is no need to take the motorcycle to a motorcycle service center - there is nothing in it that cannot be repaired in a garage. And if you look after it well, then serious problems will not arise. Fortunately, the Honda VT750C does not have any connectors for connecting to a laptop with proprietary dealer software - only good old hardware.
Tuning
Whatever your heart desires! Seats, trunks, trunks, backrests, windows, turn signals, headlights... There are both branded parts from famous foreign manufacturers, and a bunch of cheap tuning from China, so every owner of a Honda Shadow 750 can easily find something to suit their taste and budget.
Estimated cost
The 750 cc motorcycles of the legendary Shadow line were undeservedly forgotten at one time, not having time to really “light up” due to some duties.
But time has passed and this motorcycle is again in this line.
You can now find new 750 cc motorcycles in the Shadow line at dealers. But they won't be very cheap.
For the VT750DC Shadow Spirit model you will have to pay a little more than 800,000 rubles. And the VT750DC Shadow Black Spirit model will cost even more, about 825,000 rubles.
Despite the long period in which a motorcycle with an engine of this size was not produced, this model is still quite common and there are more than enough offers for it on the secondary market.
The prices for it are very varied, since the cost takes into account technical equipment. condition and performance of the motorcycle, its year of production.
So, on the secondary market, a Honda Shadow with a 750 cc engine. cm can be found with a price from 100,000 to 600,000 rubles.
Price
Cruiser and touring motorcycles are rated slightly lower than sports and racing bikes. Nevertheless, particularly advanced Japanese-made models (and the Honda 750 is one of these) can cost a lot of money. The Honda Shadow 750 motorcycle, the price of which ranges from 80-495 thousand rubles, can be purchased either used or new. There are a sufficient number of different machines on the market.
In this case, special attention should be paid to the year of manufacture of the motorcycle and its current technical condition. It should be noted that repairing a bike is very expensive and the amounts that will be spent on paying for original spare parts and qualified work to replace worn parts may well be comparable to the price of a new car
Before buying a motorcycle, you need to make an economic calculation.
Model history
Initially, the Shadow line, which the Japanese company offered to Americans, consisted of only two models - the Honda Shadow VT500C and Shadow VT750C.
These motorcycles appeared in 1983. The first of them was equipped with a 500 cc V-twin OHC engine, the second had a volume of 750 cc. cm.
This engine was also V-shaped, V-Twin SOHC.
The following year, after the Honda Shadow appeared on the market, American legislation increased duties on imported motorcycles larger than 700 cc.
As a result, production of the Shadow VT 750C model “stalled” for many years.
At the same time, the Shadow line itself expanded, and quite significantly.
During production, models with engines from 400 to 1100 cc were produced.
But the Shadow model with a 750 cc engine was remembered only in 2000, but this model was already aimed at the European consumer.
The Honda VT 750 Shadow, released in 1983, had the classic American cruiser style. The model was produced in two colors: black and caramel red.
Although, the red color is only a convention, since only the tank and side glove compartments were red on the motorcycle. The engine and frame were painted black.
Many elements of the motorcycle were chrome-plated: the front fork and fender, dashboard, headlight, exhaust pipes.
The engine of the motorcycle was equipped with water cooling, and the gas distribution mechanism implied the presence of three valves for each cylinder. The Shadow VT750C had a 6-speed gearbox, and the rear wheel was driven by a cardan.
In 2000, the successor to the first Shadow VT750C was a model with a slightly different name - Honda VT750DC Black Widow, aka “Black Widow”.
Although the name is different, the “widow” is still a Shadow VT750C, but with a slightly modified appearance. This motorcycle was already more like a “chopper”.
In 2007, another model with 750 cc engines appeared in the line, but the Shadow prefix was added to the name of these models.
First came the VT750DC Shadow Spirit, followed by the VT750DC Shadow Black Spirit. These models are still in production.
The differences from the first 750 cc Shadow among contemporaries mainly concern the appearance, although there are also changes in the technical part.
Now these motorcycles are already 5-speed, the power system has also changed - carburetors have been replaced with an electronic injection system.
But in general, the concept of the motorcycle itself remained the same - many chrome parts, including the engine, low seating, drop-shaped tank.
And only the VT750DC Shadow Black Spirit model is distinguished by almost no chrome, it is almost all black.
Description of design
The front wheel is covered on top by an oversized fender. The front fork has widely spaced stays. It itself is covered with chrome. The front lighting equipment consists of a small headlight and two small turn signals. A wide handlebar is installed at the top of the front fork.
Behind the steering wheel there is a small teardrop-shaped tank with a dashboard mounted on it.
The seat is not particularly large, has a stepped shape, and is designed for two people.
The hind wing is wider than the front wing, but short. At its end there is a brake light, as well as a platform for the number.
The frame is tubular, practically invisible; the radiator of the cooling system is located in front of it.
The power plant is a V-shaped, 2-cylinder with a carburetor power supply system, integral with the gearbox. An air filter is installed on the right side between the cylinders.
There are two exhaust pipes, one for each cylinder, and are located on the right side.
Gearbox – foot-switched, 5-speed. Transmission of torque to the rear drive wheel using a chain drive.
The rear suspension is pendulum type using two shock absorbers installed on the sides.
Specifications
The engine displacement was changed only once, in 1997, but the settings of individual components, the number of cylinders, the compression ratio, and power changed from modification to modification. In some versions, even the injector was replaced with a carburetor. But it was based on a 2-cylinder, 4-stroke engine with a V-shaped pistons. The angle between them was changed once - in 1997 from 45 to 520.
The engine is quite economical, works in any weather, and is not even afraid of heat.
- Displacement - 745 cm³ (since 1997), 749 - early releases.
- Power - 44 hp (up to 65 hp - early releases).
- Number of valves - (3 per cylinder).
- Cylinders - .
- Cooling is liquid.
- Fuel supply - Keihin 34 mm carburetor, PGM-Fi injector (since 2007).
- Ignition is digital, transistor.
- Start - electric starter.
- Fuel tank - 14 l.
The ignition switch is located under the fuel tank, which is an interesting feature of the model.
The highlight is the presence of hydraulic compensators in the engine, so the user does not need to adjust the valves.
Transmission and clutch
But in 1997, it was rebuilt, retuned, and the gears were placed across the entire rev range. This box began to be used on all modifications.
No less interesting is the story of the main drive. Initially, the motorcycle had a cardan, which was abandoned in 1997.
The cardan transmission definitely reduced the ongoing costs of maintaining the motorcycle.
- The Honda VT750 Shadow ACE model came with a chain drive.
- In 2003, ACE was replaced by Aero. In addition to many technological innovations used in the modification, the cardan returns to it.
- The 2010 model year models again have a chain.
The only part of the chassis that was not changed was the clutch. From the first assemblies, the standard principle was used.
- Multi-disc, oil bath.
- Power transmission is a cable.
Brakes
With the exception of the very first builds in 1983, which had two discs at the front, the motorcycle has a front single-disc brake and a rear drum brake.
Front: brakes:
- number of disks - ;
- diameter - 296 mm;
- support - 2-piston.
Rear brakes:
drum
In 2010, Honda is carrying out a massive modernization of both new developments and those already on the assembly line. The rear axle receives disc brakes (the parameters are the same as the front ones), as well as ABS.
To avoid causing even more confusion with names, new models are not renamed.
Flaws
Different models may have different disadvantages, but for the Shadow 750 users highlight several:
- Low ground clearance. Among the 10 models there was no car with a high seating position, but this is not typical for a cruiser.
- Suspension. Not only does its performance drop with the release of new versions, but there is also no way to adjust it for the road.
- Price of parts and components.
and dignity
You can ride this bike with equal confidence on highways, city streets, rough roads, and even on dirt roads in dry weather.
The advantages included:
- Americanized design. Even the Phantom has plenty of glitter.
- Hydraulic compensators do not require clearance adjustment.
- Controllability.
- Maneuverability.
- Good dynamics for such a giant.
- Ideal weight distribution (For the sake of this quality, the concern went through developments several times, everything was revised, right down to the position of the brackets on the brake discs).
The main advantage that all owners note is the battery. Regardless of the outside temperature, the bike starts in any weather.
Technical characteristics of Honda Shadow 750 Black Spirit
When talking about the motor, it is important to pay attention to its type. It is characterized by four strokes and two cylinders. The engine has a liquid cooling system
The manufacturer made it with a volume of 745 cm3. The front fork angle is 52 degrees
The engine has a liquid cooling system. The manufacturer made it with a volume of 745 cm3. The front fork angle is 52 degrees.
The fuel tank holds 14.6 liters. With such a reserve you can travel more than 300 km.
The model features a powerful generator (about 399 Watt). Domestic motorcycles only dream of such power (they only produce about a hundred watts). A fully equipped motorcycle weighs 251 kg, which is not beyond the acceptable range.
The bike's carrying capacity is also impressive: it is capable of carrying a load weighing up to 191 kg.

Motorcycle modifications
- Honda NV750. The very first version, produced from 1983 to 1985. It has the most powerful engine (66 hp), and is almost never found on sale due to its advanced age. It was equipped with a cardan and a 6-speed gearbox.
- Honda Shadow 750 ACE (American Classic Edition), 1997-2001. Chain drive wheels, a 14-liter gas tank, deep fenders, a heavy appearance and one balancer shaft instead of two, so that American bikers enjoy the vibrations that are so dear to their hearts.
- Honda Shadow 750 Aero. Produced from 2004 to the present. Equipped with a cardan drive.
- Honda Shadow 750 Phantom. No different from the Aero, except for the matte black color scheme. Still in production today.
- Honda Shadow Slasher 750, Black Widow in some markets. It is a slightly modified Honda Shadow ACE, but with a thin front wheel of increased radius and a gas tank reduced by 1 liter. Produced from 2000 to 2007.
- Honda Shadow VT750RS. Outwardly, it resembles a hybrid between a cruiser and a classic road motorcycle; the differences are clearly visible in the photo. It features the smallest gas tank - 10 liters and a direct fit. The model was not popular, and therefore was produced only briefly, from 2010 to 2013. The wheel drive is a chain.
Modifications
Shadow 400 Slasher is a popular modification of the model.
- In 2000, the Shadow 400 Slasher appears (in the 750 Shadow Spirit or Shadow 750 Slasher for Japan).
- October 2008 is marked by a massive restyling of both lines. As a result, the Shadow 400 receives the Classic prefix (the appearance becomes similar to the Shadow 750 Aero).
- The Slasher 400 becomes the Shadow 400 Custom (the 750 has a similar model, the VT750C2 Shadow Spirit).
and competitors
However, such a leapfrog of names did not prevent competitors from showing their answers to the 400.
- Kawasaki offered the VN 400 Vulcan.
- Yamaha one of its “shooting stars” XVS 400 Drag Star.
Suzuki has produced as many as 3 versions:
- Intruder VS400;
- Intruder VL400 Classic
- Desperado 400.

Specifications
If we talk about the engine, it has extremely powerful parameters and produces approximately 70 Nm, taking into account the number of revolutions equal to 5500/minute. The type of the part is B-shaped, four-stroke and has two cylinders. In general, it will work in any weather conditions, the acceleration is explosive and continues to be so throughout the entire period of operation.
The transmission consists of a cardan-type drive and a five-speed gearbox. The motorcycle is average in size and weighs approximately 250 kilograms, which is also not too much. About four liters of fuel are consumed per 100 kilometers and, taking into account the total tank capacity of 14 liters, this is enough for a good distance.
The front suspension is represented by a telescopic fork, and the rear suspension by two shock absorbers. The brake system is standard, with the rear brakes using a drum and the front brakes with a two-piston caliper.
The frame is tubular and made of steel. The discs are a little outdated, but this option may be suitable for someone. Additional amenities include a supportive backrest and increased traction. It is possible to drive both on city roads and on country roads. You can consider more precisely the other and already mentioned characteristics in the table below.
Chassis and brakes
The CB 750 duplex frame is made of steel and is a wonderful example of a road classic. All the shapes speak of the old-fashioned nature of this car. The wheels are alloy, which is within the class limits. The comfortable steering wheel also matches its counterpart in the old model.
The rear pendulum suspension is equipped with two shock absorbers. At the front there is a telescopic fork with dimensions of 41 mm. Braking at the rear is a single-piston caliper and a 240 mm disc, while at the front this function is performed by two 296 mm discs together with two-piston calipers.

* Attention! Under the maximum, average and minimum of the Honda VT 750C2A Shadow Phantom motorcycle on this page, the average cost according to advertisements for sale on the Internet is indicated, without taking into account the year of manufacture, configuration and generation of the motorcycle model.
Driving performance
Due to the production upgrade, the maximum speed increased slightly compared to the prototype - 145 km/h. However, the owners noted that this did not have the best effect on the dynamics.
Dynamics (overclocking)
The 400 is certainly not a liter cruiser; it clearly lacks power on the highway.
A normal cruiser is 100 km/h.
Acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in 11 seconds. When compared with the prototype, users noted that it was almost identical, maybe a fraction of a second faster.
Fuel consumption
According to the manufacturer's documentation, consumption is 2.5 liters per 100 km before restyling in 2008, almost 3 liters after. But since the motorcycle is for the domestic market, the indicators are also indicated in an internal manner. Owners from the Russian Federation note an average consumption of 4.5 liters. A more accurate result depends on the traffic situation.
Provided that the tank is 14 liters, you can drive up to 200 km at one gas station, if “dry” - 280 km.
So who are you finally?
To summarize, the Honda Shadow Saber is a “blank” motorcycle (don’t be offended by this name, there is no negative connotation here), a motorcycle that is popularly called a “chopper” (although from the point of view of chopper engineering, it is by no means a chopper) or a cruiser, which is much closer in essentially. This is a motorcycle that can be customized specifically to suit your needs. This is a bike for those who want a Harley but don't want a Harley and maybe want practicality. This is a motorcycle for those who take 2 wheels not to be on time somewhere, not for the sake of adrenaline, not for the opportunity to go where wolves are afraid to shit, but simply for the opportunity to go. This is a motorcycle that combines a chopper-cruiser image with Honda reliability and practicality.
This is my motorcycle and I'm glad I own it.
Release Features
Thus, in 1997, in parallel with the “American shadow” (Shadow 750 ACE), a domestic Japanese version was produced - a smaller engine, power, worse dynamics, but at a very affordable price. Users who saw the new creation were delighted: “Yes, this is a real liter, only less voracious.”
Since the documentation of the bikes went through the factories at the same time, they copied many details from each other. But there is one small detail due to which the motorcycles had different fates.
This is a prototype model. The younger one was planned to replace the Steed 400, and therefore took many parts from it.
The model existed until 2016, receiving restyling in the same years as the older one.
Prices
The Tuesday market price for it starts at $3,000. The price must include the cost of delivery from Japan and customs clearance. Since the model remained Japanese and at the same time production was gradually reduced, versions with mileage in the Russian Federation are not worth considering (editor’s opinion, that is, mine).
Modification of Honda CB750K7
The modified model “HONDA CB750K7”, which is the work of Danish craftsmen and lovers of classic bikes from the “Wrenchmonkees” salon, has become the object of our attention.
Like all modern motorcycle showrooms, Danish mechanics decided to add their own twist in the form of a chrome-plated body taken from the well-known Suzuki GS 400/425 bike. The landing was significantly lowered, engine power was increased to 836 cubic meters, Dunlop D401 tires give the CB750K7 an exceptionally brutal look.
A very colorful cafe racer that can satisfy the whims of any connoisseur of classic bikes.
Specifications
At the end of the last century, a general reduction in the cost of production began along with the tightening of environmental standards, so the old Shadows are noticeably more powerful than the newer ones. So, the NV750 had a 66-horsepower engine, and the first VT750C, model 1986, had a 60-horsepower engine. But all their followers have sharply lost power, which is 42-45 hp, so, paradoxically, modern Shadow 750s have more modest characteristics than the old ones.
Engine
Until 1968, a V-twin with a classic 45° cylinder angle was installed, but there are almost no such old bikes on sale. And on all Honda Shadow 750 released in 1987 and later, the engine is completely different. This is a 745 cc liquid-cooled V-twin with 3 valves per cylinder, one or two carburetors (from 2008 - with injection) and either a chain or cardan drive, depending on the modification. Maximum speed is 160 km/h (180 km/h for the RS version), acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is about 7 seconds, torque is from 59 to 69 Nm.
Transmission
All versions of the cruiser received the same 5-speed transmission. In the 80s, this was not bad, because competing models sometimes still had 4-speed gearboxes. But what prevented the designers from transferring the KPP-6 from the NV750 is absolutely unclear. It is also unclear why it was necessary to replace the cardan with a chain. The cardan drive later returned, but all modifications currently produced are equipped with a chain.
Chassis and brakes
The best front brakes, double-disc, were installed on the NV750, but then the Japanese decided to save money. Starting in 1986, this model was equipped with a single-disc 296 mm disc with a 2-piston caliper, and an ancient “drum” was installed on the rear wheel. Fortunately, in 2009 it was replaced with a disc brake, and at the same time an ABS system was added, which came in handy.
Electronics
All of it can fit in a small bag from the nearest Pyaterochka. Were there a lot of electronics in motorcycles half a century ago? The Honda VT750C has about the same amount of it, and there is nothing more complicated than a generator, a battery and a switch in which all the wires converge. Although the latest European versions even have a standard immobilizer!
Weight and dimensions
Dry weight ranges from 211 to 246 kg, and curb weight - from 225 to 263 kg. Despite the impressive numbers, the motorcycle does not seem heavy, because the lion's share of its weight falls on the engine, located at the very bottom. In terms of size, the Honda VT 750 is closer to “four hundred” than to “liters,” which makes it really convenient to drive around the city.
Controllability
It’s hard to expect impressive maneuverability from an old-fashioned cruiser, but the brainchild of Japanese engineers can surprise here too. Of course, this chopper is inferior in handling to classics and sportbikes, but it still steers much lighter than its heavier counterparts, and feels great even in dense city traffic.
Fuel consumption
Thanks to the engine developed almost four decades ago, the Honda VT750C is not at all demanding on fuel quality, especially on carburetor (until 2008) versions. But with carburetors it is more voracious, and the average consumption is about 5 liters compared to 4.3 liters for injection modifications.

Honda Shadow 400 Slasher
- a chopper that is popular among novice bikers. It looks beautiful, rides well, is inexpensive - so what else could a beginner who is partial to choppers and wants to get involved in the motorcycle theme want? Of course, the Honda Shadow 400 Slasher is not the only 400 cc motorcycle in this class in the Honda lineup. In addition to it, there is also, for example, the Honda Steed 400. And although the power units of these motorcycles are almost identical, in appearance they are quite different. The two-cylinder V-twin liquid-cooled engine installed on the Shadow 400 produces 33 hp. at peak power, and 34 nm of torque. It is fed by a classic carburetor - this motorcycle generally has a minimum of technical bells and whistles, it is simple and reliable, like a brick. The radiator is mounted at the front of the frame and is not too noticeable, and there are a ton of chrome protective covers that look great.
Another important factor both for girls and simply for short and inexperienced motorcyclists may be that the Honda Shadow 400 Slasher weighs only 180 kg, and its saddle height is more than average - 645 millimeters. Thanks to this, as well as the low center of gravity and the tilted steering wheel, this Honda is comfortable to sit on for almost everyone, except perhaps really tall people. In addition, because of all of the above, this motorcycle is also surprisingly easy to control, obediently taking turns both at a decent speed and maneuvering between cars in dense city traffic.
But the brakes, traditionally for the Shadow line, are not very encouraging. Even the liter Honda of this model range has drum brakes at the rear, what can we say about the 400 cc version? No, in everyday driving mode, the brakes of the Honda Shadow 400 Slasher are quite sufficient, they do not cause any complaints, but in the event of emergency braking, it immediately becomes clear that one disc on the front wheel is not capable of stopping an almost 200-kilogram motorcycle sharply enough, and the rear drum brake works Basically in two modes - either nothing, or the wheel locks tightly. This motorcycle is always popular among customizers. It is inexpensive compared to some Harley-Davidson, and its traditional cruiser layout in all respects allows you to give free rein to your imagination - whatever they build from the Shadow 400. Choppers, bobbers, and cafe racers... To the author of these lines I even had a chance to see a scrambler built on the basis of this bike.
As for the style, there’s no arguing with it – this is the embodiment of a classic. Yes, you can find fault with the cardan drive and liquid cooling, which are unconventional for choppers and cruisers, but is it worth it? Design features do not detract from the advantages of this motorcycle. It is light - you must agree, 180 kg for a chopper is nonsense. It is quite peppy - and accelerates to a hundred in about 6 seconds, and honestly goes its 140 km/h on the speedometer. It’s comfortable to sit on, it’s convenient to drive – those who don’t believe you can try it on yourself. Thanks to its modest dimensions, you don’t have to worry about traffic jams - you won’t be standing next to cars in them while sitting on the Honda Shadow 400 Slasher. In addition, this bike successfully combines both the simplicity of the design and the proverbial reliability of Honda products. So this bike is at least a great competitor to other 400cc choppers.

Features of HONDA Shadow 400
In terms of its parameters and appearance, the HONDA Shadow 400 is a typical classic cruiser.
Apart from interesting decisions regarding changing the chassis, the bike has few differences.
- Suspension with short travel that cannot be adjusted.
- 2 springs on the rear shock absorber provide a soft ride, but they also make their way with a bang even with a small load (it’s better not for two burly men to sit on this bike together).
- A motorcycle for the city - it’s better not to meddle with the Moscow Ring Road with its flow speeds.
- The chopper seat allows you to change the position of your legs when driving, and the soft sofa allows you to cover significant distances in “one sitting.”
Comparison with analogues
In this case, we took the Yamaha Drag Star as an opponent for comparison. Quite often, when purchasing, future or current drivers have to make a choice between these models. Before the main differences between them are named, it is worth noting that both sides have many similarities.
Speaking about identity, we mean a similar style, engine parameters, where the torque and its direct power are almost the same. The dimensions and weight of the models vary slightly. The power supply is carburetor, the transmission is the same with the installation of cardans.
Comparing the transmissions, one could say that they are also the same, but when changing gears, a strong rumble comes from the Yamaha Drag Star, which cannot be said about the Honda Shadow. The main difference is the engine cooling system. Honda has liquid cooling, while the opponent has air cooling. The Drag Star's suspension features a monoshock absorber at the rear, while the other model has two classic shock absorbers installed there. One cannot help but mention the presence of two brake discs at the front of the Yamaha versus one of the Honda.
Conclusion
In its class, the Honda Shadow 750 can be called one of the best. In terms of weight and controllability, it is close to a “four hundred”, and in terms of dynamics – to a “liter”. This balance, coupled with phenomenal reliability, an affordable price and a ton of tuning, ensured the model such a long life. This chopper is equally suitable for driving around the city and for long trips. With timely maintenance, it will serve the owner for years without problems or breakdowns, for which it is valued in many countries around the world, and its technical characteristics are sufficient for any purpose.

Honda CB 750 review
Initially, the Honda SV motorcycle was intended for sale in Europe and America, since the Honda brand occupied a leading position in the production and supply of motor vehicles in the world. Accordingly, the technical characteristics of the Honda St 750 were far ahead of its competitors.
The first Honda 750 motorcycle appeared in Tokyo. A few months later the model was presented at an exhibition in England. The first bike in the series had a high and wide handlebar and was aimed at the US market.
The racing career of the bike will soon begin, which made it possible to analyze and eliminate the shortcomings of the Honda SB 750 line. The manufacturers managed to achieve the title of one of the best motorcycles in the world for their development.
cb 750
A successful review of the Honda CB 750 at the exhibition and participation in races allowed the model to enter a new market segment - civilian. Initially, the motorcycle cost 1.5 thousand dollars. Currently the price reaches 10 thousand dollars.
In the first years of production, the Honda 750 model was the leader in performance on the global motorcycle market. According to experts, the line is the most complex engineering project among bikes, distinguished by reliability, wear resistance and comfort.
