2013 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 VT750C2
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.
Here’s a machine that’s perfect for cruising city streets as well as exploring back-country roads—the Shadow® Spirit 750 C2. Honda has brought together a big-bike look, distinctive street-rod styling and a muscular V-twin engine—now including the sophistication and metering precision of Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI). And it all comes wrapped up in a surprisingly affordable package.
A Lot of Spirit.
The 750 V-twin in the Shadow Spirit produces surprising torque and get up and go. Thanks to Honda’s meticulous engineering.
Get the Low Down.
A low seat height gives you comfort and confidence because it lets many riders put both feet flat on the ground at stops.
Strong, Silent Type.
The Spirit’s durable and virtually maintenance-free shaft final drive ensures smooth, dependable power delivery to the asphalt. No hassles, no grease flying everywhere. Just smooth, quiet power transfer.
Don’t be Fuelish.
One of the best things about the Shadow Spirit? Its awesome fuel economy. How good? How about a 56 mile per gallon? Now that’s Honda smart!

2013 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 VT750C2 Features and Benefits
V-Twin Engine – Nothing pumps out the torque like a big V-Twin. The Spirit’s power makes it perfect for both around-town cruising, commutes, and casual weekend-long rides.
Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) – Forget about fiddling with a choke—the Shadow’s fuel injection system means no-hassle startups on cold mornings or at high altitudes, and optimal performance in any condition.
Five-Speed Transmission – Wide-ratio five-speed transmission lets you cruise the boulevard at a low, unhurried pace, yet lets you hop on the highway without revving the engine through the roof.
Three-Valve Dual-Plug Combustion Chamber
Spoked Wheels – Spoked wheels give the Shadow Spirit a classic look.
21-Inch Front Wheel – The Sprirt’s 21-inch front wheel helps create a narrow, hot rod custom look while providing a light steering feel.
Shorty Front Fender – Minimalist front fender gives the Shadow Spirit a lighter, cleaner, more progressive look.
Low Seat Height – The Spirit’s super-low 25.7-inch seat height is something you’re going to appreciate when you’re maneuvering to park or flat-footing it at stop lights. Plus, the low seat also inspires rider confidence.
Comfortable Saddle – Broad, low-slung one-piece seat design is comfortable for both the rider and passenger.
Dual-Shock Rear Suspension – Dual shocks just plain look right on a bike like the Spirit. And with the super-low seat height, they really help smooth out the bumps and potholes on your ride.
