Overview
The 2012 Honda Shadow Aero VT750ABS is a cruiser from the Shadow family, produced for 2012. It uses a 745 cm³, liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin with SOHC pushrod operation and three valves per cylinder, and weighs 260 kg.
Its 658 mm seat height can make stopping and putting a foot down easier, while the 260 kg weight will take more effort to manage at walking speed. The shaft final drive needs no chain cleaning or adjustment, and rear-shock preload can be set in five positions to suit the load and desired ride setup. The 14-liter fuel tank gives you its capacity, but the motorcycle’s range cannot be determined from the information available.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft final drive
It avoids the chain cleaning and adjustment required by a chain final drive.
Low seat
The 658 mm seat height can make it easier to get a foot down at stops.
Adjustable rear preload
Five preload positions let you adjust the rear suspension for different loads or ride preferences.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 260 kg, it takes more effort to maneuver in tight spaces and when parking.
Rear drum brake
The rear drum brake is less suited to repeated hard braking than a disc brake.
