Honda’s new retro VT750S now available

17th June 2010 Print

The all-new classically styled Honda VT750S is now available from Honda motorcycle dealerships across the UK, priced at just £5,845 on the road.

Guaranteed to turn heads with its retro looks and sleek metallic grey colouring, the VT750S is a great motorcycle for riders of all experience levels with its comfortable riding position and great all-round manageable performance.

Powering the new VT750S is a liquid-cooled, V-twin of 745cc. The motor is thoroughly modern, boasting Honda’s latest PGM-FI fuel-injection system which gives excellent economy and low emissions, but in keeping with the classic styling, the V-twin features finned barrels for that ‘air-cooled’ look. Performance is impressive, with the motor designed to give optimum performance in the low to mid-section of the rev-range – just where you need it out on the road.

Even though the frame uses a strong, steel double cradle design, the overall chassis compliments the style and performance of the motor and is light and compact. Steering geometry has been specifically chosen to give excellent feedback and neutral handling, aided by a 19-inch front and 16-inch/150mm rear wheel.  Sturdy 41mm forks and twin shocks, which are adjustable for pre-load, give a smooth ride, while adding to the classic look. A large 296mm front brake disc is aided by a 180mm drum at the rear, both being more than adequate to bring the VT750S to a swift and safe halt.

As good as the marriage between chassis and engine, is it is the overall styling of the VT750S which is sure to win a lot of fans and turn many heads. The look is one of a classic naked street motorcycle from the 1960s and 1970s. The upright riding position, chrome finished headlight, twin exhausts, wire-spoked wheels and teardrop tank all hint to a bygone age of motorcycling, but now brought right up to date and all with the reassurance of Honda reliability, performance and build-quality.
