Overview

The Honda Shadow VLX Deluxe is a cruiser from the Shadow family, produced for 2006–2007. The 2007 model has a liquid-cooled, 583.0 cm³ four-stroke V-twin making 44 hp (33 kW), with a dry weight of 207.7 kg.

Its 650 mm seat height gives the bike a low seating position, which can make it easier to plant your feet at a stop. At 207.7 kg dry, it takes deliberate handling at walking speed; the rear shock’s seven-position spring-preload adjustment lets riders tune its spring setting for load and preference. The 11.00-liter tank gives a fixed amount of fuel between stops, while the chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.

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