2013 Honda Shadow SHADOW RS New

Cruiser Style + Roadster Cool = Instant Classic.
Yep, elieve your eyes—those are higher-set footpegs and shorter, ore upright bars. So, ow can this be a Shadow cruiser, ou ask? Oh it's all Shadow, ust with a heavy dose of old-school roadster thrown in—you don't have to look too hard to see the classic flat-track influences in the peanut-shaped fuel tank and flatter seat. It all adds up to an amazing motorcycle that's just as much at home on a favorite back road as it is prowling on a Saturday night. And that means fun, ith a capital “F.”
Liquid-Cooled Muscle: The Shadow RS is no stranger to power or torque, hanks to its brawny, iquid-cooled 745cc V-twin. Cruise cross-town or hit the highway—this machine can handle both, nd sound really good doing it.
Honda Fuel Injection: Fuel Injection ensures optimal fuel delivery, nd thus performance, tilizing sensors for intake-port pressure, ngine-coolant temperature, ntake-air temperature and atmospheric pressure.
Comfortable Classic: Higher pegs, ore upright bars, nd a plush, ow, ut slightly flatter saddle add up to cruiser comfort with a sporty feel. Which, hen you think about it, s exactly how it should be with a machine this versatile.
Don't be Fuelish: One of the best things about the Shadow RS? Its awesome fuel economy. How good? How about an estimated 56 miles per gallons? Now that's Honda smart!
