About this model
About the Honda VT 800
The Honda VT800C Shadow is an American-style cruiser produced in 1988 and 1989 only. The 800 cc 45-degree V-twin is air-cooled and delivers power in a smooth, linear fashion suited to relaxed riding. The low seat, teardrop tank and clean classic lines place it firmly in Honda's Shadow family, sitting between the lighter VT600C and the larger VT1100 in the range.
The VT800C suits experienced riders looking for a compact, characterful cruiser with classic styling. It is undemanding but dependable, with typical cruiser ergonomics and an upright seating position. Its short production run makes good examples relatively rare on the used market. Contemporary rivals included the Kawasaki VN800 and Yamaha Virago 750.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the carburettor for gum and varnish build-up; a rebuild is often necessary on bikes that have stood for years.
- Inspect the cam chain and tensioner: the 800 cc V-twin can develop rattles at higher mileage.
- Corrosion on exhaust and chrome parts is common given the age; original rust-free parts are scarce.
- Check the wiring harness for brittleness and cracked insulation; rubber degrades over decades.
- Ask about the condition of brake hoses and wheel cylinders; originals are old enough to warrant replacement.
