Rider Profile

Best ForA relaxed, low-strung V-twin cruiser that suits beginner to intermediate riders comfortable with a long, heavy machine at low speeds.
PurposeBuilt for laid-back boulevard cruising and classic cruiser styling rather than outright performance or long-distance touring.
Rider FitThe low 653mm seat height makes it approachable for shorter riders, though the 228kg dry weight demands confident low-speed handling and slow-maneuver strength.
CharacterA traditional, torque-focused shaft-drive cruiser with a smooth SOHC V-twin, understated retro looks, and unhurried, easygoing road manners.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking sharp cornering agility, high-speed performance, or any off-road capability.

2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 (vt 750 C2) Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 653mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 (vt 750 C2), 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.
