Motorcycle specifications Honda750 Shadow RS 2010 Honda launches Shadow-ster

presentation of the 750 Shadow RS 2010

stuck for ages in its custom philosophy, the 750 Shadow becomes more urban and punchy in this new RS version. More European, the Shadow RS nonetheless draws part of its inspiration from a well-known machine. Indeed, the first impression you get on discovering this custom roadster is of a Harley Sportster. Almost halfway between the 883 and the Iron, this Honda is discreet and compact. The fork's shallower rake (3°) contributes significantly to this impression of compactness. The chrome is hidden but not obliterated, the engine is out of sight, and accessibility is at the forefront.

With repositioned controls and seat (87 mm higher), the riding position is more natural, more suited to urban use. The engine remains the conventional and eternal 745 cm3 V-twin. It delivers modest power, with most of the available torque refocused on low and mid-range revs. Admittedly, the machine responds a little better to urban demands. But when it comes to sensations, 43 horsepower won't give you the chills. Additional work on the injection system helps quench the thirst of the little twin-cylinder (for a custom), which is just as well, as the fuel tank is smaller. It loses 4 liters and shouts stop at 10.7 liters. Minor regrets: the presence of a chain (we'd have preferred a cardan shaft or belt, which would have been much cleaner), a poorly-integrated rear headlight-plate-turn signal assembly and an old-fashioned drum brake.

Less powerful than the standard Shadow custom, the RS boasts a 19" front wheel and a reduced wheelbase, which should make it more agile and playful, while benefiting from lower fuel consumption and an attractive price tag. At under 7,000 euros, it's just above entry-level roadsters like the ER-6n, CBF 600 or XJ6 ; and well below its designated competitors, the Triumph Bonneville and Harley 883. But the Shadow doesn't have the reputation of these two stars.

latrace Model 2011

it's a great bike, and I've been riding it for 7 years. It's extremely reliable, inexpensive to maintain and very pleasant to ride with your nose in the wind.
of course, it's not for the faint-hearted, and with 43 riders we're not going to be racing with Rossi, but for those who want a simple bike without the headaches, it's for them 05/16/2017 22:04 Rating : 5/5 Respond to latrace

tranquille et ultra simple

furyans Model 2010

No surprise, it's the moulbif de l'africa in injection mode and 18-pony deflated, puncture-proof engine...In any case, the injection is really well thought out, it pulls well, no need to rev it up. The engine is ultra-smooth, and starts up again on a flick of the throttle without any jerking. The gearbox is super smooth. Significantly more comfortable than my ex 883R, it brakes better, despite the drum at the rear, and my fuel consumption is 4.4L.... The finish is perfect, as is often the case with Honda...Remember to over-inflate the gumshoes very slightly....232 kg with a full tank, i.e. 23 kg less than miss HD....Very little vibration, the steering engages a little at low speeds. The turning radius for a "custom" is really good, and the caster angle of the column is tighter than on other wheels of the same type. In the tests, you're told that the riding position is close to that of a roadster...but I don't think so...In any case, no backache after 200 km...The only thing that bothers a bit is the 883-style air filter, which your knee comes right up against...The little extra, the original noise is just perfect, Miss Honda does better than Miss HD in original pots...it's bluffing...Bought with 13000 kms (2012 model) in first hand fully equipped, windshield, sissy bar, leather saddlebags and package carrier for 3300â'¬ not a clean sign... 03/30/2017 22:53 Rating : 5/5 Respond to furyans

Nico's Model 2010

I'm discovering this new shadow...It's got a nice little face...from 883 Harley!!!! But it's nice! Still, a little more oomph would have been a plus! 43 horses...hum, it's legit". Ideal for touring. 04/08/2010 00:10 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Nico's
