Cool-Motorcycles reviews Honda Shadow Spirit 750 2009

Cruiser style, sporty performance.

The Shadow 750 Spirit’s style is classic cruiser. But with a sportier attitude. Featuring a low 25.7-inch seat, beefy V-twin and long, lean lines stretching to its 21-inch front wheel for a vibe that is classic “dragbike”. With Honda’s reputation for quality, this is a bike you’ll enjoy for years of trouble-free riding. And you get it all with one very reasonable price tag. The Shadow 750 Spirit. The performance is pure Honda, the spirit is pure sport.

INNOVATIONS

Honda Shadows, The Art of Form and Function

When it comes to cruisers, looks can only get you so far. At some point, you have to perform. And no custom does it better—or more reliably—than a Honda Shadow. Decades of Honda innovation stand behind every Shadow, showcased in such features as our three-valve cylinder-head design and the reliable, virtually maintenance-free shaft drive. And that’s exactly why Honda is the only name you need to know when you’re looking for a new cruiser.

Unique Custom Dragbike Features

Incredibly low 25.7″ seat height completes the low, dragster-style picture, and also helps inspire rider confidence.

21″ front wheel helps create a narrow, hot rod custom look while providing a light steering feel.
