    I own and ride a 2009 Honda Shadow, Arrow. I can't tell you how many times I have had people tell me that my bike is beautiful. I enjoy riding it. It is a joy.

    My wife and I lived in Comox BC when I retired. Me on my Gold Wing, my wife on her 750 Shadow Aero took a 3 1/2 month motorcycle trip across Canada and the US. The shadow is a fantastic bike, not one single issue of any concern.

    I have the exact same bike and color. I’m 5’10 and 200 lbs.
    I’ve gone past 100 mph on several occasions.
    60, 75 mph is nothing for this bike. It will start to wind out a bit at 85 but will still take on more throttle.
    It’s a great cruiser.
    But it can also go when I need it to.

    If you're looking for a good used Honda V-twin. I suggest the Honda Shadow Spirit VT1100C Made between 1997 to 2007. That bike has the best gear ratio for highway riding. (14% Higher geared) as such gets the best as mpg. The Honda 1100 Sabre's the engine RPM is a little busy at highway speeds. Also you will likely get bored with the smaller 750 after a short while. The 1100's are a lot better for 2-up especially if you live in a hilly area and still gets around 45mpg (if you stay out of it). The 1100 gives a lot more legroom than the 750. Notice how his knees hit that tank? the 750 Needs a 6" forward control mod badly. the 1100 is about 3 inches higher seat height but still plenty low enough to the ground. The foot pegs are higher too so you don't scrape on corners. The seat is WAY more comfortable too. You can find good used older motorcycles with low miles cheap, people buy them and hardly ride them.

      Comparing the Sabre and the Spirit, does the higher gearing difference in the Spirit come from the transmission or the shaft drive system / differential?

  • @edwardkeeter762
    @edwardkeeter762 3 місяці тому +2

    The ONLY thing that the Aero doesn't bring to the table is hard acceleration. Don't get me wrong, it's plenty quick for real-world riding, it just won't ever win a stoplight drag race. But that's not what you buy a classic style cruiser for anyway. Otherwise it's gorgeous, comfortable, customizable, versatile, and utterly bulletproof. That having been said, I wouldn't object to Honda adding a 6th gear, an oil level sight glass, or a center stand.
