HONDA  VT125C Shadow  £3399 Introduction Colours Specifications

Introduction The fun and friendly Shadow 125 is the most full featured and satisfying American Classic cruiser in the entire 125cc class. With the looks, styling and proportions of a larger machine, its light and comfortable feel gives riders of all experience levels greater ease and confidence on the move to maximise riding enjoyment. Its low saddle-type seat, wide pull-back bars and forward-mounted pegs provide a comfortably laid-back riding position and a delightfully easy reach to the ground. The Shadow 125's strong, responsive liquid-cooled V-twin engine pumps out a strong surge of torque-filled acceleration accompanied by a pulsating growl of impressive performance. Detailing, of course, is the best in its class, with the shine of chrome visible everywhere from its headlight and large, tank-mounted instrument panel to its gorgeous 2-into-1 exhaust system. Rest assured the Shadow is also one of the most solid and reliable bikes on the road, and just as economical to run as it is to buy.
