Honda’s Shadow Aero is a classically styled metric cruiser with a fully modern powertrain. For 2024 it received a disc brake at the rear, which was previously only available on the ABS version. Buyers will still have to choose between the non-ABS or ABS model (California buyers can only buy the ABS version). The two-tone paint is also new for 2024.
Power comes from a liquid-cooled 745cc V-twin that produces good low-down torque. Programmed Fuel Injection ensures excellent response and efficacy. The Aero uses a five-speed transmission and sends power to a low-maintenance shaft final drive.
An ultralow 26-inch seat means a wide range of riders can get their feet firmly down at stops or maneuvering in parking lots.
The 2024 Honda Shadow Aero is available in one color, which Honda calls black but is really a two-tone fade on the tank and side covers. The non-ABS version is set at $7,949, while the ABS model is $8,249.
