To stay fresh in the game, Honda’s 2004 Shadow Aero VT750 underwent a major redesign, giving it a retro-look along with a strong dose of VTX styling-including large, valanced fenders similar to its bigger brethren. Despite its relatively small displacement for a cruiser, the Aero now has the appearance of a much larger machine, which is especially accentuated by its oh-so-loonnggg rear fender. Another major change is the switch from chain to shaft final drive, which reduces maintenance and cleaning chores. Steering is light and stable and the bike tracks well through corners, which should build confidence, especially in new or re-entry riders.
