The first Shadows were the VT500C and VT750C introduced in 1983 to enter the American cruiser market, followed by the VT700C, a tariff-busting 700 cc model made in 1984 for the United States after tariff restrictions on imported Japanese bikes over 701 cc. A new liquid cooled 750 cc SOHC V-twin with three valves per cylinder and a 45 degree angle, two carburetors, six speeds and shaft final drive propelled the VT750C. The tariff ended in 1985, and the line then grew. Each model year has its own page.
