2013 Honda Shadow RS, 2013 Honda Shadow RS Cruiser Style + Roadster Cool = Instant Classic Yep, believe your eyes those are higher-set footpegs and shorter, more upright bars. So, how can this be a Shadow cruiser, you ask? Oh it s all Shadow, just 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, with a capital F. Great Ideas Never Go Out of Style The Honda Shadow RS is proof that classic ideas never go out of style. Agile and responsive, this V-twin roadster has crisp, uncluttered lines and standard-style riding ergonomics that deliver comfort and cool and plenty of fun in one distinctive package. The bike s higher pegs improve ground clearance when cornering, while its sophisticated, PGM-FI fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 745cc V-twin engine makes every ride an unforgettable pleasure. 745cc V-twin Engine The Shadow RSs liquid-cooled, 745cc V-twin produces impressive, perfect-for-cruising-or-commuting power across the entire rpm range, while its long-stroke crankshaft design helps create a brawny V-twin pulse and low-rpm torque. Five-Speed Transmission Wide-ratio five-speed transmission lets you cruise the boulevard at a low, unhurried pace, yet lets you hop on the highway without revving the engine through the roof. Handlebar-Mounted Instruments Putting the speedometer and the other instruments up on the handlebar in a single, uncluttered gauge gives the RS a sporty, purposeful, super-clean look. It also makes them easy to read! Upright Seating Position With the Shadow RS, you sit low, but a bit more upright, and the footpegs are a little further back. The result? A bike that offers all-day-long comfort, and one thats practical too, letting you see whats going on around you. Chain Final Drive Some riders just think a classic cruiser needs a chain. The Shadow RS hears you there. The chain is light and efficient and best of all, it just looks right, and helps set your Shadow RS apart.
