2008 Honda Shadow Aero® •
$3,999
Shadow Aero® (VT750C) Has engine guard, lowers, fairing and hard bags. Very nice for the year, come view.
Full-sized looks and 750 cc performance without the full-sized price tag. Sound like a stretch? Not when you’re talking about the Honda Shadow Aero®. Stunning is one way to describe its long, low, retro styling simply drenched in chrome from tip to tail and boasting classic valanced fenders, spoked wheels and five all-new colors. Staggering is another - especially once you see that all this muscular V-twin style and performance could be yours for a mid-sized price.
