2023 HONDA SHADOW AERO,

PERFORMANCE V-TWIN ENGINE

Nothing pumps out the torque like a big V-twin. The Aero’s power makes it perfect for around-town cruising, commutes and casual weekend-long rides.

PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION (PGM-FI)

Forget about fiddling with a choke—the Shadow's fuel injection system means no-hassle startups on cold mornings or at high altitudes, and optimal performance in any condition.

THREE-VALVE DUAL-PLUG COMBUSTION CHAMBER

It’s the best of both worlds: The three-valve combustion chambers used on many of our V-twin cruisers feature two intake valves and one exhaust, helping them breathe efficiently to boost both horsepower and torque.

 

2-INTO-2 EXHAUST SYSTEM

Sleek pipes feature bullet-style mufflers for that classic cruiser style of yesteryear. Large-diameter head pipes and the 2-into-2 system design combine to put out true, V-twin cruiser sound.

TANK-MOUNTED INSTRUMENTS

A key element of the Shadow Aero’s look are the tank-mounted instruments. Set in a gorgeous chromed pod and complemented by the chromed fuel-filler cap, they really set off the bike’s classic lines.

BLACKED-OUT STYLING

The closer you look at a Shadow Aero, the better it looks. That’s because the styling is so unified. Check out the way the blacked-out engine, rims, and frame all work together visually.

CHROME HIGHLIGHTS

Chrome highlights include cylinder-head covers, air-cleaner cover, engine sidecovers, brake and clutch-lever brackets, rear brake pedal, shift lever, handlebar, rear shock covers and more.

FULL FRONT FENDER

A wide metal front fender gives the Aero a classic styling touch.

SPOKED WHEELS

Spoked wheels give the Aero a classic look.

COMFORT COMFORTABLE SADDLE

Broad, low-slung solo seat features a detachable passenger seat.

LOW SEAT HEIGHT

The Aero’s low seat height makes flat-footing it at stoplights or in parking lots a breeze. And the Aero’s narrow seat/tank junction makes it feel even lower.

DRIVETRAIN FIVE-SPEED TRANSMISSION

Wide-ratio five-speed transmission lets you cruise the boulevard at a low, unhurried pace, yet allows you to hop on the highway without revving the engine through the roof.

SHAFT FINAL DRIVE

Clean, efficient, proven, and low maintenance. Shaft final drive is the perfect choice for a machine like this, and for riders who pile on the miles. You never have to worry about lubrication or adjustment out on the road. And an added plus: it helps keep your bike cleaner, too.
