Positioned in Honda's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2000 Honda VT 1100 C Shadow Spirit relies on a 1099 cc (67.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 87.5 x 91.4 mm (3.4 x 3.6 inches) with a 8.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the VT 1100 C Shadow Spirit measures 252.2 kg (556 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 729 mm (28.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,651 mm (65 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.89-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.88 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 270 km (168 miles) between fill-ups.
