Overview

The Honda Shadow Spirit 750 is a cruiser in the Shadow family, produced from 2005 to 2017. The 2017 model has a liquid-cooled 745.0 cm³ four-stroke V-twin producing 46 hp (34 kW) and 64.0 Nm of torque at 3,500 rpm, with a wet weight of 243.1 kg.

The 653 mm seat height helps riders reach the ground, and it was introduced in 2008, down from 676 mm in 2007. At 243.1 kg wet, the bike takes more effort to maneuver at walking speed; its shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, while five-position rear spring-preload adjustment lets you tune support for different loads.

Pros and cons

Advantages

Low seat
The 653 mm seat height makes it easier to get a foot down when stopping.
Shaft final drive
The shaft drive needs no chain cleaning or adjustment.
Adjustable rear preload
Five preload positions let you adapt rear spring support to the load.

Things to consider

Weight at low speed
At 243.1 kg wet, parking and tight, slow-speed maneuvers take more effort.
Rear drum brake
The 180 mm rear drum offers less fade resistance than a disc during repeated hard braking.
Short rear travel
The 89 mm of rear wheel travel leaves less room to absorb large bumps.

You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
