Honda file

The mid-1990s VT600C carried on with the same 583 cc liquid-cooled V-twin, four-speed gearbox and chain drive, wrapped in the low, hardtail-look chassis that made it a popular first cruiser. Changes in these years were limited to colours and trim, with the chrome-heavy Deluxe offered alongside the standard bike.
