Honda Shadow Spirit 750 (VT750C2)
The Honda Shadow Spirit 750 (VT750C2) has a top speed of 160 km/h, produces 44 hp and weighs 247 kg.
The Shadow Spirit 750 name arrived in 2001, and for 2007 it was reworked into the VT750C2 with PGM-FI fuel injection, chain final drive and a chopper-style raked front end. It became one of Honda's best-selling mid-size cruisers thanks to its low 25.7-inch seat, bulletproof 745cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin and easy manners for newer riders.

买家应该知道什么
Fuel injection is the upgrade
2007-and-later Spirits use PGM-FI instead of carburetors, so they start instantly and avoid the gummed-up jets common on older carbureted Shadows. A 2009 example with service records is one of the safest used cruiser buys in the class.
Heat, chain and soft suspension
The rear cylinder throws noticeable heat onto the rider's right leg in traffic, and the single hidden rear shock plus non-adjustable fork feels harsh on bad pavement. Check for a worn or dry final-drive chain and sprockets, leaking fork seals, and corroded spoke nipples on neglected bikes.
Simple, cheap upkeep
Oil and filter every 8,000 km (about 2.9 L of 10W-30), screw-and-locknut valve clearance checks roughly every 26,000 km, and regular chain cleaning/adjustment are the main jobs. The single front disc benefits from fresh fluid and pads since braking power is modest for the bike's weight.
