    i bought my vt750c in march this year, the only downside of the bike for me is that it is down on horsepower, other than that i enjoy the bike, the riding position is spot on for me, and pillion according to the missus is comfortable, we did 1,600 miles in a week this year in irealand and it was comfortable for both of us.

    smooth performance.easy to service.awkward to change back tyre,needs a form of centre stand to help. averaging 75mpg per week commuting plus runs.the seat could do with being a bit more supportive,and the passenger seat needs to be wider. love the feel of the Honda VT750 bike though .would buy another one.

    Beatiful bike, that i've been enjoying riding. it does take a little time to warm up. common problem for V-Twin?

    mine is the shadow spirit, so it's got brilliant paint work on the tank. attract plenty attention on the road and needless to say all that chrome.

    things i like, low and comfortable seat, my friend is over 1.9m tall but also sits comfortably on the bike.i have not ridden any other bike, so i can't comment on performance. but she does ride well, once the engine is warmed up properly. ...

    2 years ago, I had no intention of ever getting on a bike, let alone owning one. Due to neccesity I ended up buying a little rev and go scooter from honda, on it's first service I saw a Honda VT 750 Shadow in the showroom and straight away fell in love. The one I saw was old and in the horrible orange and black paint job, even though it looked a bit of a mess, it appealed to me.

    A year later I picked up my brand new, shining, metalic blue and silver, very sexy VT 750 C. When the dealer wheeled ...

    I bought this Honda VT750 Shadow new last year (its a 2008) because I live out of town and wanted something a little better on fuel than my truck. Although it does get better than my truck, I'm disappointed in the fuel milage I'm getting. I cruise usually around 110 kph (65mph) on the highway and have not had the bike any faster than 125 kph. The bike now has approx 4000 km on it and the fuel milage is still well below what others are posting on this site. I'm getting somewhere between 18km ...

    Bought a new Honda VT750X 2009 shaft drive. Having had a number of Yamaha Viragos I thought i would try the New Honda. Good on most points. Handling very good, acceleration good comfortable riding position.

    Very disappointed that having a puncture after 742 miles to find out that you cannot take off the rear wheel without removing the Exhaust pipes / foot pegs etc.and then raising the bike 900 mm off the floor to remove the wheel from below the mudguard. This makes a normal bike puncture a 20 ...

    Bought my Honda VT750 Shadow used in 2004 with 13,000 miles on it. I now have over 40,000 miles and my only maintenance has been tires, chains, front brake pads, oil changes, and one tune-up. It's a great bike. Extremely nimble for a cruiser. Rides low, is very balanced, and has a great feel. It won't win any drag races, but it has enough power for me and gets between 50-55 mpg in the city. I bought it with a Mustang seat, Memphis Shades windshield, and some leather saddle bags and I added Vans ...

    I am 45 and a first time rider. I was told this
    Honda VT750 Shadow would be a well suited bike to learn from. Size, power, handeling, relibility and comfort. This bike is all this.
    I love it.
    wish it had tubless tires for quick temporary repair.

    The Honda VT750 Shadow is a comfortable, low ride height for us shorties. Had a Honda VT750C for about a year and a half now, find it a great bike to ride, easy to handle and just about enough power to get you out of trouble when you need to, ideal for shorter riders like me. Not many bad points really, only the turning circle is about twice as wide as the M25, Honda accesories are really really expensive.

    $5,000 less than a Harley Sportster for a very similar bike. Excellent reliability. Big enough, without being too heavy, for highway travel. Low seat height good for short legs like mine!

    Great Bike for the money. You just can't go wrong here. As always with Honda. They really think things out before their products hit the market, and it shows here. With just an exhaust, carb jetting, and air filter change this bike will hold it's own or just plan spanks some other 900 to 1000 cc bikes. The bike will run at 70 mph all day with out a whimper. It's a worry free ride. If it has gas and oil. It will get you from point A to point B with out a problem. I've been riding for nearly 30 ye ...

    Look are very appealing, probably all the chrome appoiments, overal 43 to 52 miles a gallon, believe it handles fairly well.
    Disappointed in Honda parts pump, gas. Took a month for Honda to come up with a new one. They are very expensive and overated, I'm more inclined to do what service I can do myself.
    Summation, I'd say, find more reasonable parts, it is a shame it would take Honda a month or any bike, parts, especially I mean Honda to place a electrical, gas pump on back order for a month, t ...

    Shadow Spirit VT750 2005 Chain Drive. Very comfortable bike to drive alone and with a passenger. The center of gravity is just right, seating position is excellent. I am 5'11" - 32 inseam and I sit perfectly on it. The fat gas tank, wide flat bars detailed engine and loads of chrome get a lot of compliments. The bike is so smooth running, no shaking like an HD, yet mine has an a nice low rumble from the stock pipes minus the baffles. Gas mileage is 50 MPG!
    I bought my bike in Summer 2008, from t ...

    My first bike and I love it. Accessorizes well. Lots of options available. Replaced horrible stock seat with a Mustang custom seat with drivers back rest. Unbelievable ride now. It actually looks better than the stock seat too. This is a great bike that keeps up with large cruisers.

    My first bike ever. Bought the bike to offset gas prices. The 60 MPG is paying for the bike. the payment and insurance expenses are less than what I would be spending on gas for my truck monthly just to drive to work. Basically, it's a free extra vehicle saving wear and tear on my Supercrew.
    The bike is small enough to handle, yet plenty of umph. Took it to 100 mph twice, just to see if she could do it. It DID have alittle more. So far, I'm a VERY happy camper. 1000 miles down,and a whole lot ...

    Purchased the Honda Shadow 2 weeks ago, great price for a great cruiser. Haven't owned a cruiser before last bike was a Kawasaki gpz900r but due o back injury was unable to ride due to handlebar positioning. The shadow has plenty of grunt and easy to ride. Handles pillion passenger with ease....highly recomend to other ridres starting off in cruising. I'm now 48 years young and hope to be riding for may years to come.
