When the Honda VT750S – also known globally as the Shadow RS – arrived on the scene in 2010, it delivered a brilliant fusion of two worlds: the rugged, purposeful styling of a classic American roadster and the flawless, bulletproof reliability only a modern Honda can provide. This motorcycle wasn’t just a cruiser; it was a beautifully balanced, immensely enjoyable machine built to make every single mile a pleasure.
At the core of the VT750S lies the legendary 745cc, liquid-cooled, 52-degree V-twin engine. This is a powerplant designed not for eye-watering top speed, but for usable, thrilling torque right where you need it – down low.
The engine delivers a delightful 62 Nm of torque at a mere 3,250 rpm. This means instantaneous, satisfying acceleration off the line, making city commuting an absolute joy and ensuring you pull cleanly away from any junction.
Honda’s addition of the sophisticated PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system for this model year ensures effortless cold starts, impeccable throttle response, and smooth, consistent power delivery. The signature thumping exhaust note, reminiscent of classic V-twins, further enhances the bike’s charismatic personality.
The VT750S is a visual masterpiece, capturing the essence of a traditional standard motorcycle while benefiting from modern engineering finesse.
The riding position is a triumph of design. Unlike extreme cruisers, the VT750S features a standard, upright riding posture. The handlebars are flat and comfortable, and the footpegs are positioned slightly higher and further back than usual for a cruiser.
This allows for a naturally relaxed yet engaged stance, making both short hops and longer weekend rides exceptionally comfortable. Best of all, this ergonomic choice provides superior cornering clearance, letting you lean into the bends with confidence!
The aesthetic touches are pure class:
Despite its classic appearance, the Shadow RS is surprisingly nimble and responsive. The combination of its lightweight design (just 232 kg wet) and balanced geometry ensures it handles beautifully in busy traffic and flicks effortlessly through winding backroads.
