Some classics never go out of style. Like your favorite leather jacket, or blue jeans. Or, if we’re talking about cruisers, a bike like the 2020 Honda Shadow Aero. Talk about timeless—for thousands of riders, the Aero just looks the way a motorcycle should. Sure, part of that is due to the chrome highlights, the V-twin engine and the swept-back twin exhaust. And thanks to the low-slung seat, pullback handlebar, and forward-set pegs, the Aero is also extraordinarily comfortable to ride, too. Why not see for yourself? Want to combine classic looks with modern engineering? The Aero is also available with optional anti-lock brakes.
