2008 HONDA SHADOW AERO,

Full-sized looks and 750cc performance without the full-sized price tag. Sound like a stretch? Not when youre talking about the Honda Shadow Aero. Stunning is one way to describe its long, low, retro styling simply drenched in chrome from tip to tail and boasting classic valanced fenders, spoked wheels and five all-new colors. Staggering is another—especially once you see that all this muscular V-twin style and performance could be yours for a mid-sized price.
