• 2002 Honda VT1100C Shadow Spirit

Do you pine for the simplicity of the '60s? Then the VT1100 Spirit's long 41mm raked front fork, skinny 110/90-19 front tire, mag wheels and bobbed fenders are your ride to nostalgia.

There's also performance to back up the Spirit's 'attitude'. The massive, 170/80-15 rear tire's wide footprint transfers the 1099cc V-twin's torque to the road while the large-diameter, 336mm front disc brake with twin-piston caliper combine with a heavy-duty drum rear brake to provide excellent stopping power. Of course, Honda didn't forget the comfort side of the equation with a 'King and Queen' stepped seat and a sissy bar for comfort and security.

Shadow Spirit 1100. Make your weekend something to look forward to.
