The Shadow Sabre was, at its introduction, the hot rod (or in motorcycle jargon, the street rod) of Honda's cruiser line. [5] As such, it has lower gearing than other 1100cc Shadows, for a stronger punch off the line, while retaining exactly the same (dual pin crank) engine as the others.
The Honda VTX 1800 was launched in 2001 as a 2002 model.

The following year, the higher spec RC42 CB750 would debut for Europe and Japanese markets (in Europe it went by either CB750F2 or CB Seven-Fifty ).
