presentation of the VT 750 DC SHADOW SPIRIT 2008

the 750 Shadow is back after a 2-year hiatus. It returns under the name Shadow Spirit. It benefits from a new look inspired by recent VTX models, a revised engine for more torque, a lower seat height, greater rigidity, and a cardan shaft. Hidden behind its drum, the transmission and the two exhausts, the rear wheel is stubby and unobtrusive. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the large (21'') and very thin front rim (only 90 mm wide) is unabashedly on display. From ¾ rear, it looks like an 883. From the front, the identity marries Shadow history with VTX presence. More comfort seems to have been highlighted in red in the specifications. In terms of security, the Shadow is fitted with a coded key-operated anti-theft device. Performance-wise, the Shadow Spirit is clearly not a power cruiser. Modest power and adapted braking are the guests of the cruising spirit, charming and relaxed... Strolling and bucolic, for the mount and the rider, are the most indicated.

Bilout69 Model 2008

Nice bike, but strangely enough, with fuel injection, it uses more fuel than the 2 750 shadow bikes I had before this one. 03/06/2020 07:11 Rating : 4/5 Respond to Bilout69
