The VT600C is a cruiser motorcycle produced by Honda from 1988 to 2007. With it a small tear drop tank, sparkling bodywork, softly curving dual seat and a V-twin engine, the Shadow looked great. However, its all-American look concealed the latest Japanese technology. Though it appeared to have a rigid frame, in fact it possessed an effective cantilever suspension. The 52-degree v-twin had offset cranks rather than the more common forked connecting rods in the interest of the best possible balance, and a single overhead camshaft per cylinder controlled three valves, a favorite technology of Honda's since the CB400T of 1978. It was the secret of the excellent torque of the engine, which meant that four speeds were sufficient.
Little changed over the years, except for the colour, this is the correct 1992 Candy Glory Red.
