Bike insurance customers may be excited to hear Honda has announced a new addition to its line up with the unveiling of the Shadow RS.

The company claims the all-new machine is likely to appeal to riders of all levels of experience due to its suitability for commuting, light touring and weekend ride-outs.

Featuring a V-twin 750cc engine with a traditional air-cooled look, the Shadow RS is enhanced by luxurious chrome detailing, wire-spoked wheels and twin mufflers.

Precise control is provided by the 19-inch front wheel and sturdy 41mm front forks, while at the rear forward-tilted dual conventional dampers with adjustable spring preload guarantee a smooth ride.

With power delivery focused in the low and mid-range, bikers can enjoy a satisfying experience while remaining in control.

A sleek metallic grey finish completes the Shadow RS' stylish design and lends impact to the black-painted engine, gleaming exhaust pipes, headlamps and grab rail covers.

Due to hit dealerships from spring 2010, the price of the new machine will be announced nearer the time.
