About the Honda VT 750 C
The Honda VT 750 C Shadow is a V-twin cruiser produced by Honda in various generations since 1983. The 745 cc V-twin with hydraulic valve adjustment and EFI fuel injection (later models) delivers around 45 hp and carries the classic low, wide cruiser silhouette with teardrop tank and wire-spoke wheels. The current generation (RC53/RC58) dates from the 2000s and represents an accessible mid-range cruiser.
The VT 750 C targets riders who want a comfortable, reliable cruiser without a Harley-Davidson budget. The low seat height of around 690 mm also suits shorter riders. Direct rivals include the Yamaha V-Star 650 and Suzuki Boulevard C50. The bike works well for commuting and touring and has an excellent reputation for reliability.

What to check before buying
- Check the front drive shaft or chain for wear (depends on generation); a loose drive shaft coupling causes vibration at constant speed.
- Inspect the cooling fins and oil system for leaks; earlier VT 750 models are air-cooled and oil seepage at the cylinder head gaskets is a known issue.
- Check the rear brake caliper for seizure; with low usage (few kilometres), the caliper dries out and the brake drags.
- Inspect the carburettor rubber seals on older models for hardening and cracking; this causes rich or lean running at idle.
- Check battery charge level; the relatively small battery does not fully recharge on short city runs only and degrades quickly.
