a road test from https://www.wisebuyers.co.uk/motorcycles/bike-reviews/Honda/VT125+Shadow/197/

so no dummy cylinders as I can see

as for speed - what do I know I aint rode anything else - apart from the cbt bike


You've got to stare hard at the Shadow before you realise that what you're looking at is just a 125cc motorcycle that you can ride on L-plates.

Designed with classic American styling, the Shadow VT125 has the presence of a much larger machine, thanks partly to the heavily finned motor.

But don't let the fins fool you - this is no basic air-cooled unit. The smallest Shadow is a liquid-cooled, eight-valve, single-overhead cam 90-degree V-twin with an 11.8:1 compression ratio.

Its beautifully executed details include a teardrop petrol tank topped by a glittering, chrome finish speedometer, wide handlebars and deeply styled 'fenders' draped over wide, wire-spoked wheels, all underlined by a chromed two-into-one exhaust.

Power output is 15bhp at 11000rpm, substantially more than that other popular Honda lightweight, the CG125. That pumps out just 10.5bhp at 7500rpm.

The five-speed VT125 needs the extra poke because, at 145Kg, it tips the scales a whopping 38Kg more than the CG. But the weight gives the VT a solid, dependable feel - just what you'd expect of a cruiser.

Seat height is a lowly 680mm (27in) so planting both feet firmly on the ground when you stop shouldn't be a problem for anyone.

With Honda reliability and 8000 miles between services, the Shadow VT125 is a very attractive package.

Shares the same motor as my varadero 125,
the little plastic silver bits at top of cyclinder are for effect.. there isn't much of anything behind them.

Dero used to get to 70mph...
all that chrome on that...erm bike.. will almost certainly help it reach a ton.. off a cliff Laughing

And Joe, stop trying to glorify your bike...it's still a 125 Rolling Eyes

Posting the review off the Honda website won't do you any favours.
