Overview
The Honda Shadow RS VT750RS is a cruiser produced for 2010. Its liquid-cooled, 745 cm³ 52-degree V-twin has SOHC pushrod valve gear and three valves per cylinder; the motorcycle weighs 228 kg.
The 749 mm seat height gives the bike a relatively low seating position, while its 228 kg weight can make low-speed maneuvering more demanding. Shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment, and the rear shocks have five-position spring preload adjustment to suit different loads. The 9.8 L fuel tank means more frequent stops on longer rides.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft drive
The shaft final drive avoids the routine cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.
Adjustable rear preload
Five-position spring preload adjustment lets the rear suspension be set for different loads.
Low seat
At 749 mm, the seat height can make it easier for many riders to reach the ground at a stop.
Things to consider
Small fuel tank
The 9.8 L capacity means longer rides call for more frequent fuel stops.
Weight at low speed
At 228 kg, the bike can take more effort to maneuver in tight spaces or at walking speed.
Rear drum brake
The rear drum provides less braking performance and feel than a disc brake.
