2012 Honda Motorcycle
When it comes to styling, the 2012 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 C2 has both classic and muscle-bike elements.
The Shadow Spirit 750 features that retro “dragbike” look with its low, 25.8-inch seat height, long lines and 21-inch front wheel.
As muscular as the styling is the motorcyce’s three-valve, 745cc 52-degree V-Twin, an engine that easily propels the 542-pound machine around while getting an average 56 mpg.
The Honda Shadow Spirit 750 CS is capable of such good fuel mileage due to its new upgrade for 2012 – Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) that incorporates a single 34mm-diameter throttle body.
Besides the PGM-FI upgrade, the only other new feature on the Shadow Spirit is a paint option – Candy Orange Flame.
