At de japanske fabrikker laver 400cc-udgaver af de fleste af deres
større mc'er er ingen nyhed. Men blandt dagens pressemeddelelser i Honda
JP's Press room er en vedr. VT400 Shadow Slasher "Spirit of the
Phoenix"-specialudgave, som i mine - godt nok ikke chopper-trænede -
øjne ligner en lille HD Sportster - eller hvad synes I:
<http://www.honda.co.jp/news/2004/2041129-shadowslasher.html>

Af undersættelsen i Google's Language tools fremgår det iøvrigt, at den
debuterer 20. dec. i år og at Honda laver 500 stk. Undersættelsen af
rubrikken om sædehøjden er nu også ganske komisk, hør bare:

"This shadow スラッシャー in the HONDA American custom motorcycle series
makes the lowest seat high (0.645m), actualizes the good quality of
stately riding in a car attitude and the foot arriving. It is the model
which obtains favorable comment in the wide layer where the man and
woman of 20 generations was centered. In addition, it has become the
model which gives the lightest impression in the shadow series with the
adoption of the undersized fender and the headlight."
