Made from 1988 to 2008 for international markets, while in Brazil despite some grey imports it started to be made locally in 1998 and phased out in 2005, the Honda VT 600 C which is also better known as Shadow VLX was quite successful within its class. A friend of my father had one, and I remember how it stood out while new, in a market where small-displacement and more utilitarian models still retain the largest share of the Brazilian motorcycle market. As second-hand examples became available at a lower price, sure it attracted buyers willing to turn them into choppers, bobbers, among other sorts of custom motorcycles, to the point it's no longer so easy to spot one in a nearly stock condition such as this '99.
