AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Honda Shadow VT1100 “The General” – Custom Military Build, Austrian Einzeltypisierung
Every so often a custom build comes along that’s more than a paint job — it’s a whole character. Meet “The General”: a Honda Shadow VT1100 (SC32/C, 1099cc) reimagined as a hand-built military machine, right down to genuine WW2 military hardware.
Build highlights:
• Hand-textured, hammered military-green paintwork on tank, fenders, and side panels
• Genuine WW2 gas mask canister on the headlight assembly
• Genuine real bullets incorporated into the belt trim
• Genuine military ammo boxes used as the rear saddlebags
• US Army-style star graphics on tank and saddlebags
• Matching custom handlebars, mirrors, levers, and grips
• “THE GENERAL” lettering on the engine side covers
• Chrome kept in excellent, well-maintained condition
Papers & registration: Einzeltypisierung (individual type approval) completed in Austria, with valid Austrian registration and active plates (Salzburg) — road legal and ready to ride.
Mileage: 47000 km, engine and mechanicals in good, well-cared-for condition.
This isn’t a bike that was modified and forgotten — it’s a fully realized theme build, combining genuine period military hardware with meticulous custom work, and the paperwork to actually take it on the road.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
