– 2005 Honda Shadow Spirit VT1100C
The Shadow Spirit is a cruiser taking its styling cues from classic choppers of old. A pullback handlebar, bobbed rear fender, cruiser footpegs and a powerful V-twin engine make this as fun to stare at as it is to ride.
Thanks to a brawny 1099cc 45° V-twin engine, the Shadow Spirit delivers performance to match its classic styling and low-slung good looks.
