New Honda 750 2010

This is a great looking bike!! But what's up with the 2.3 gallon tank? Even at 52 average mpg you would have to fill up every 100 miles.

Biker Dash · 12-03-2009, 05:27 PM

I would be swapping it for a larger tank, probably the one from the Phantom, and use the space where the speedo is on the Phantom tank for an info pod of some sort.

iamjustifyd · 12-03-2009, 05:34 PM

So then you would be buying 2 new bikes?

Biker Dash · 12-03-2009, 05:44 PM

No, just one and a tank. Actually, I might be able to use one off something like an 02 Shadow. That would give me just under 4 gallons of fuel. I wonder if it would be possible to fit that new 75ci V-4 into the RS frame? Then I would have to find a way to convert the engine over to a chain drive... Bring back the Sabre!

chaindad · 12-03-2009, 06:02 PM

I HATE that bike!!!! lol

Just sayin'...

Biker Dash · 12-03-2009, 06:55 PM

Whats wrong with the bike chaindad?

internationalballer · 12-03-2009, 08:06 PM

I have to agree with Daddio on this one. It's a decent lookin bike, but definitely not my thang.

iamjustifyd · 12-03-2009, 09:01 PM

I've always liked that syling. And the problem with my tailbone leaves me real limited on a cruiser that I can buy. Triumph T100 is always an option

Munkey990 · 12-04-2009, 10:12 AM

Can you say "Harley Sportster"?

iamjustifyd · 12-04-2009, 10:17 AM

yeah, I like some of the 1200's. There is a new one out, black and orange, came out last year I think?

Biker Dash · 12-04-2009, 04:03 PM

Yeah, but this is a bike that will easily do anything a 1200 Sportster will do, do it a lot more reliably, will do it with 450 less cc's, and is about 50lbs or so lighter.

Ummmm....we already covered this on another thread....lol

When I think of late model Shadows.....I think shaft drive....forward controls....kicked back cruiser....

This bike is none of the above....market it under a different name....putting the Shadow name on a Sportster clone is blasphemy....hehe

The only thing I like about this bike is that sweet white paint job....

Just sayin'....

Biker Dash · 12-04-2009, 11:12 PM

I was thinking that the frame on that bike might be perfect for slipping a certain new V-4 into.

BRING BACK THE SABRE!!!

chaindad · 12-04-2009, 11:22 PM

Okay......NOW you're talkin' brother!!!!

Actually with the tiny fuel tank a 250 twin may be more appropriate....

BRING BACK THE SABRE!
BRING BACK THE MAGNA!
BRING BACK THE NIGHTHAWK!

Just leave my Shadows alone...lol

Just sayin'....

Biker Dash · 12-04-2009, 11:40 PM

Hey now, all you need to do is mount a bigger tank on it... Besides, that bike looks to be an excellent format for customization.

chaindad · 12-05-2009, 02:36 PM

Much prefer the Phantom as far as 2010 750Shadows are concerned!

Biker Dash · 12-05-2009, 05:52 PM

Yeah, that Phantom is a nice looking ride, and would probably feel just like my ACE, except for the shaft drive. I'd like to see them bring back the 1100 Shadows. Something bigger than a 750, but not a massive as a VTX.

7fifty4 · 12-29-2009, 03:24 PM

i agree with munkey 990... looks just like a sportster only a little stouter

ccRider246 · 01-04-2010, 12:40 PM

I went to the International Motorcycle show here in the Detroit area on Saturday. I was interested in seeing the Phantom and the NT700V. I'm 6'3 and weight about 235. The Phantom was way too small for me. However, the NT700 feels like a good size. It's a very comfortable bike. I checked out a Dyna Glide in the HD booth - also way too small. I felt like I was on a mini bike. Maybe its because the seats are so low and I am used to my 750F.
Of all the bikes I sat on, the 3 best for me (fit-wise) were the KLR650, VStorm 650 and the NT700V. I didn't see BMW at the show but maybe I just missed them.

Biker Dash · 01-04-2010, 01:21 PM

That NT700V, is that the clutchless cruiser with the crotchrocket styled looks?

ccRider246 · 01-07-2010, 04:25 PM

No, that's the DN-01. The NT700V looks like a down scaled ST1300. It's a shaft driven V Twin with integral hard side cases. It has a manual adjustable windscreen. It was a very good fit for me. It's a bit lighter than my 750F but the center of gravity seems lower. I will have to find a place to test ride it in the spring.

Biker Dash · 01-07-2010, 08:14 PM

I was thinking about getting one of them DN-01's and doin some heavy customization to it. I was thinking the driveline from a Magna would be nice.

Archangel · 01-07-2010, 11:19 PM

I am still in love with the newer chopper like Honda the one with the saddle bags humm what's it called????

iamjustifyd · 01-08-2010, 09:23 AM

Fury?

chaindad · 01-08-2010, 11:28 AM

arch....its the Interstate...one of the 1300Customs....you & Nor would look good on that!

iamjustifyd · 01-08-2010, 11:35 AM

AAHHH..very nice. I hadn't seen that one before. Arch...you would look good on anything

Biker Dash · 01-08-2010, 12:51 PM

Those 1300 customs are sweet bikes, though I would want to do a little mixing and matching to get the look I want.

Archangel · 01-08-2010, 08:16 PM

Thanks chaindad for the info I could not remember the name just the look.

iamjustifyd thanks for making me think I am so good looking and giving me a big head, now I think I am all that and a box of chips.

if I were only true

lovegun67 · 04-04-2010, 09:48 PM

Nice Bike.

Hey congrats on your new bike

I just got the 2010 VT759C2 last week, loving it.

I don't know if they are different in the states (I wouldn't think so) but the fuel tank on mine is 3.7-gallon (14 litres).

C.Ya...
Wally....

soxOZ · 04-11-2010, 06:08 AM

Oh OK, just realized that yours is a Shadow RS and mine is the Shadow Spirit, looks like two different bikes...
So your tank is on the small side, what a Bummer...

But really nice looking ride though...

...

The RS is obviously a model designed for the US market as I can't say that I have ever seen one here...
Almost looks like Honda's version of the Harley Sportster...

xXTURKEYXx · 04-12-2010, 07:09 AM

Very nice model.Get better

bmxchickydoo · 04-17-2010, 11:00 PM

I went today to look at a 2009 shadow spirit, just curious on what anyone has to say about them? good and bad, hit me. I love how it feels, it's a perfect seat height and feels comfortable. Just want some feedback on it before i make and big decisions.

bulldogwheeler · 05-07-2010, 07:21 AM

Yes it will! I have an 02 750 spirit and it is a great bike and never gives me any heart burn.

alalien · 05-07-2010, 01:21 PM

It looks like a throwback to the Magna, Shadow, Sabre time of the early to mid 80's. The Street cruisers of the 1/4 mile wars.

Nice looking bike. Not a long haul type of cruiser, but definitely good for getting around town and shorter trips. Hence the 2.5 gallon tank - same size as my 86 Magna VF700.

Wish it was shaft drive though like the 80's models

Jeepmed · 05-08-2010, 10:24 PM

I looked at the 09 Spirit, put money down on the bike, but the more i thought about its seat,and my girlfriends butt. I decided to go with the Aero for the same price.

RUMBLEBK · 05-08-2010, 11:21 PM

Even if you windsheilded and bagged it it is still much more short coupled than an old A.C.E or Shadow deluxe. I bet that bike is very nimble for around town, but not a longer haul cruiser. I see me getting tired fast on that bike. But then at my age I get tired making coffee in the morning!

OldRelayer · 05-09-2010, 10:02 AM

It isn't a bad looking bike but I do prefer the older shadow with the slanted tank, it just looks better. But I would park this one in my shed any day if I could afford it which I can't.

I guess where they have stopped making the Magna, this is it for that class of bike. How does the 750-2 compare to the 750-4. I would expect that there would be little different in power but the 750-4 would be a bit smoother for longer travel. Just a guess, I have no basis for my assumption.

Thanks,
Barry

Thanks,
Barry

Chimicole · 05-09-2010, 01:41 PM

I tried a Spirit when I was looking... just wasn't comfortable to me. Then I tried an AERO.... needless to say, that baby came home with me! I love it!

Guindalf · 05-12-2010, 07:41 PM

First post!

Became the proud owner of an Interstate on Saturday. Can't post a pic yet, but I love it!

Traded a Yamaha Royal Star Midnight Venture for it and it's SOOOO much easier to handle. Riding's fun again!!
