Features

745cc V-twin Engine The Shadow RS's 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.

Three-Valve Dual-Plug Combustion Chamber

Fuel Injection Fuel Injection ensures optimal fuel delivery, and thus performance, utilizing sensors for intake-port pressure, engine-coolant temperature, intake-air temperature and atmospheric pressure.

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.

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 that's practical too, letting you see what's going on around you.

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.
