Rider Profile

Best ForSuits beginner to intermediate riders thanks to its low seat height, relaxed power delivery, and predictable manners.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back cruising and easy boulevard riding rather than outright speed or sport performance.
Rider FitIts low 652mm seat height and manageable weight make it approachable for shorter riders, though the 251kg mass demands care at low speeds and when parking.
CharacterA classic V-twin cruiser with a shaft drive, offering torquey low-end pull, a relaxed riding position, and understated custom styling.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking aggressive cornering ability, high-speed touring, or any off-road capability.

2010 Honda Shadow 750 Black Spirit Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 652mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2010 Honda Shadow 750 Black Spirit, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
