The 750 offers and a lean, aggressive look with a strong performance while still being relatively easy on the pocket.

REVIEW:

The new Shadow also departs from its chain-driven predecessors by featuring a new enclosed shaft final drive which provides smooth and silent operation with little in the way of maintenance and its associated grime and hassle.

The cruising doesn’t come easier than settled deep into the saddle of the long, low and lean Shadow 750. With one of the lowest, most comfortable seats in its class, the Shadow 750 glistens with delicious chrome highlighting that turn heads wherever you go, giving you the full flavour of riding enjoyment that lasts the whole day through. Rolling on the throttle, every powerful pulse of acceleration brings a smile to your face. Its slim and beautifully configured liquid-cooled V-twin effortlessly pulls you up to cruising speed while its clean and quiet shaft drive purrs gently along beneath you. The only view out over its handlebars is the wide, beckoning road ahead, with no clutter of meters and cables between you and the horizon. Can the easy life get any sweeter than this? Aboard the new Shadow 750, it doesn’t matter where you go, it’s the getting there that’s all the fun.
