I just got one , a 750 ACE, black. Actually, a very good friend of mine from church, we go way back like 2 years or so. I just got my motorcycle license this past Labor day weekend, took the riders class here in the Ranch Harley- Davidson in College Station, TX. Passed the class. Anyway, back to my friend. His name is Shawn Fox , he so rides. I went over to his house this weekend and we're just looking at bikes on the net. He asks me what I'm looking for, wanting to get, and I tell him , something between 650cc to 900cc, just a good starter bike. He has a Suzuki 750 sports bike that he let me ride a few time around the block, that was fun, very fast small bike for me. I'm 5'4" 160lbs. Btw. So we're looking and I see this black 1998 Honda Shadow Ace750 for $1500. It has 78,000 miles on it , one owner, mostly highway miles. He bought it for $1200. So not knowing anything, we made a video of me riding the Suzuki 750 sportbike , I popped the clutch twice, got that on video, that was funny. So today after work , he invited me back to his house to make another video so I can share it on the media. But when I get there he wanted to use my cell phone and learn how to make a video. So his wife starts recording and he opens the garage door with remote. He now has 3 bikes( Honda Shadow 750 ace, Suzuki 750 sports & Yamaha 1600 road star) . So I'm surprised that he now has a third bike. Then I get this feeling , no it can't be ,I don't deserve this. He bought me the Honda 750 Ace for a Christmas present! How awesome is that! I was sooo surprised, gave him and his wife a big bear hug. I asked him why did he do this to me, he told me that he's tired of riding alone and that he new it would be a while before I can get a bike. Because I had a little money saved up, not enough but I needed to use the money on my dog because she was sick. So I sacrificed my money for the bike for my dog. Which was the dog that he gave me. So I do believe that God blessed me by sacrificing my needs for others, my dog, and He blessed me with this bike and awesome friends. I believe God had me at the right place at the right time. HE knew my heart, so I prayed over him and his family for many more blessings. He added a pillion seat plus he has a sissy bar for it, and some saddle bags that might fit. Also he's going to put some LED lights on it. My other friend, well he's my wife's cousin's husband, is going to help look for a front fender for it, because it needs one. I know I don't deserve this bike, but God is good all the time , and all the time God is good. That's my story. Feel free to share. God bless you guys and SRK cycles.✌
I have a 2000 Honda Shadow ACE 750. Its my first bike. I learned how to ride on this bike. It comfortable, very forgiving and super easy to ride. Great beginner cruiser. Maintenance is easy and the engine feels like its indestructible. Because, well.... it a Honda
I own the exact same bike, I actually posted a vlog on my channel of me riding cross country on it from CA to MS. This was my first bike and I have to say it amazing. Great for anyone in my opinion, not just beginners. If anyone is looking for a cruiser that's not too expensive, id say this is the one!
I agree about the "first bike" comment. It insinuates that it is OK for a few months and then move on to a "real" bike. Seriously? Some of us don't need to ride a couch around. I like Shadows and Sportsters best of all bikes.
I bought a 2003 Shadow ACE 750 with 7500 miles on it in April 2022. The first cruiser bike for me. At first the bike felt funny to me because you sit so low and the handlebars are pretty wide. After a couple days it just felt right to me, I have put 2k miles on it by July 2022 and I love it
I just got a pre-owned 2020 Honda Shadow Phantom 750 with only 300 original miles in mint condition and took it to the dealership for her 1st ever oil change and maintenance a week ago... I'm loving this bike a lot...😊 Thanks for sharing this video with us! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Have a great rest of your night! Greetings from Douglas, Arizona 🌵🦠😷🇵🇷 Like#402
I love my 1998 honda shadow VT 750 , and I weigh 210lbs at 20 so I’m a pretty big guy, that bike picks up great. Has great control, breaks are right to the point . Great bike to do cross country trips in for sure my longest trip as a beginner rider is 250 miles round trip and I’m preparing for longer in the future !!
I just bought a 2000 Honda 750 Shadow A.C.E. , today , I have the battery on the charger & previous owner said she would only run while spraying starter fluid in carb , can’t wait to hear the old girl run , thanks for video , may God Bless
The only thing I changed on my 2003 shadow ace was the seat. Put on the Mustang seat front and back with the back rests. Made all the difference in the world. God bless.
I've been riding this bike for 8 years, and have nothing to complain about. The only reason I would sell it is to upgrade to a bigger engine, as actually the only issue I've had is to keep up with guys who ride bigger bikes (1300cc or more) as the Honda lacks in torque, and its max comfortable speed is only around 65-70 mph while bigger bikes can cruise comfy even at 80-85....
that's bullshit, i have no problem keeping up with my brother and his friends that ride harleys. can keep up doing 85 or so no problem. might be in back of the pack, but right there with them.
I currently have a 98 Honda Shadow VT750 C3W and must say its been to the Yukon, B.C. AB, part of N.W.T and this summer taking it to Newfoundland. I should say I've replace the back sprocket from a T41 to T38, does about 250 km per tank and replace the horn, chain and tires. I'm looking at upgrading in 3 years when I turn 70 yrs.
I'm currently deciding on one. Took a test drive today. From a 600 Vlx to this. More power, Crusing potential and wide bars but it makes You feel like the king of the road. Super smooth!
All around, the Honda Shadow Ace is a great bike! Honda's in general produce amazing metric Cruisers. I had a 2003 750 ACE for about 5 years which I just recently sold and upgraded to a VTX 1800. Although that case is an all-around great bike it is somewhat under-powered. if you're looking for a cruiser that won't break the bank and has a great availability of parts this is the bike you should consider. Maintenance is very simple and this bike will run forever pretty much problem free. I had about 70,000 miles when I sold it and in all the years I owned this particular bike and never even burn the drop of oil! One of the main reasons I sold it is because I ride with guys that have big Cruisers 1500s and up and I had a very hard time keeping up.
First things first. I love your videos, you are a very cool dude! I own this very bike, the guy that sold it to me told me it was a Shadow Spirit and through your Spirt's Video and this video I realized the I have an ACE lol not a Spirit. I'm like you, not into the wind-guard, makes the bike look silly. Anyways, this is my first cruiser and I've been riding it for 2 weeks now. Amazing Bike, not just for beginners by the way. Rode Kawasaki Ninja's and Suzuki Katana's in addition to renting Harley's on and off for 14 years so this bike is def not ONLY for beginners. The handle bars on my ACE are not the stock, the past owner had put on the Ape Bars, different, but I got used to them. Lastly, as a Muslim, I respect you for sharing the words of wisdom. Stay blessed and stay safe. Cheers!
I too also have the exact same bike. Was first cruiser and its never had issues except with the o-rings in the coolant crossover tube needing replaced. Upgraded to a '05 roadstar warrior 1700 so the ACE don't get much love now. Torque is addictive :)
I can't really say about reliability yet. Mine is an 06 aero that I just got in March. It's my first bike and I LOVE it!! Has floorboards, crash bar, windshield, and Mustang seat. Definitely recommend the seat for any bike. Just took a little 2hr highway ride and absolutely no problems cruising at 70ish the hole trip, oh and 2 hrs back as well. No butt sore either. Lol.
I had an '02 Honda Shadow ACE and loved it. Put V&H Cruzers on it and do the air ox mod along with a set of Barnett clutch springs and the aftermarket ignition and you'll be in for a pleasant surprise riding an awesome little cruiser. I have an Electra Glide now, but would buy that old school bike back if the opportunity arose. They are TANKS in that they run forever with just some basic maintenance.
Had a 2011 Shadow 750 AERO before moving overseas. Great bike around town, didn't care for taking it on the highway. Always felt like it needed another gear. 6 ft. 215 lbs 50 - 53 mpg per tank
Forgot to mention- put a lower tooth count sprocket (38?) On ot and you'll stop searching for 6th gear. Not an issue if you put on the Barnett clutch springs. You'll also want to check out a Memphis Shades Barwing fairing and maybe the Kuryakyn handlebar helmet locks which double as bar end weights to get rid of the buzz in the bars. I also had upgraded to a Mustang seat and cruised thousands of comfortable miles.
So, I just got my M2 Summer 2019. I'd always been backseat. My first ride is exactly what you're riding.. an '02 as well And yes, the bars are wide.. lol. But I love my Taz. I'm the 4th owner but the first female rider for him..I love my Taz. Rides smooth. I have a windscreen but it hasn't been put on yet. Took me a bit to get used to the weight. Since I'd never ridden alone. I'm not a big woman and am fairly strong but it sti took me a bit to start getting used to it. Watching you ride made me feel I was on mine..lol Too cold, snow, salt and sand still on the roads here in Ontario right now . The size of the gas tank was intimidating for the first month Ride safe.
I have a 2001 ace in my collection its my favorite bike to ride i also am an old harley guy so i still love them dont like any thing not carborated evos are my thing an i have the last shovel 2004 that was put out keep the rubber down guys an stay in the wind
@@dclan6516 Well, I had it delivered to my house and took it around the block and accidentally went up a hill and stalled out 3/4 of the way up. After stalling 10 more times, I finally made it to a level spot where I parked it. Happened to be outside of a Harley owners house which I knocked on his door and he was nice enough to ride it a block back to my house lol. Took the motorcycle safety course a week after getting the bike amd failed that but it made me a little more comfy taking mine out. It should be called the motorcycle refresher course because I was the only one who had never ridden before and felt like I was holding everyone back. I live on top of a very steep hill and at the bottom is a huge zoo parking lot which I've been trying to get to but don't feel comfy riding to. Gonna find someone to ride the bike down there in the morning and I'll spend the day riding down there.
Update: My dad drove it down the hill to his house on flat ground. I took it out 3 times at about 1am and got semi comfy w it, enough so to take it up and down my huge hill. I've been taking it out the last couple weeks for an hour or so every night and am having a blast with it. I bought the Ride Like A Pro series w the book and have been practicing slow speed maneuvers. Still haven't gotten on the highway yet but just been enjoying cruising around.
I know this is a 3-year-old video, but I recently got gifted the Honda 750 ACE that I learned to ride on 15 years ago, for someone who is 6 ft 5 the stock bars and front controls are a little awkward, I have narrower H bars off a Yamaha Bolt and I'm going to get extended forward controls which will make it more comfortable for me, besides that my bike has 60,000 miles on it and still runs on the original engine just fine
I have a '99 as my first and still riding for the past 17 years. Don't see any real reason to update. I did updated to a smaller rear sprocket to knock down the high revs when traveling fast highways.
That is inspirational. I bought a shadow 750 ace deluxe from 99 just 3 years ago. I've already put about 15,000 miles on it and I'm in love. My brother keeps trying to get me to upgrade but it's rather just get another motorcycle all together i just love it that much. I need to do the sprocket swap though because i think that will solve my highway issues.
Would you recommend the Rebel 500 or a Shadow for a shorter rider? I'm looking for my first bike and would like to see a comparison between the two since they're currently on my list of potential bikes.
Shadow. I'm 5' 5 just test drive a Shadow ace american classic. It's perfect brother. I have a 93 shadow 600 vlx and I'm upgrading as we speak. It super smooth and looks like and feels like a king.
I have a 04 honda Shadow Sabre 1100 and I love it! It does have a high rev when you shift but I think all of them do. I also have a 83 Honda Nighthawk 450 as well and I love them both so much fun to ride!
I have to disagree. I think that the Aero is the most American. It just seems that it was fashioned after the Indian motorcycle. How American is that? I ride a Honda Shadow, Aero VT 750 (2004). Yes, the handlebars are wide. I find them, not only comfortable, but they give a lot of authority of counter steer. I like that. Easy to ride and has plenty of control. I have to say that my only complaint is the footpegs are too far forward. I can not stand up on the pegs If I do, my legs are against the handlebars. And that sucks.
the rebel is a cruiser ... I rode one for thousands of miles great bike I got a goldwing now and want to downgrade ? to a shadow had a intruder 700 that I loved but I traded for the wing so I could travel with my ex It was fun but too big just ride around town so shadow , v star or another intruder is my near future
You watch the channel for free let them be themselves. Whenever I hear "words of wisdom" I automatically click 20 seconds ahead. Just deal with it man.
I'm not a believer. But these guys are passionate about their motorcycles, and make some of the most informative motorcycle videos on YT. Let them express themselves. They're cool.
I just bought one of these. 21/08/2021
2000 ACE.. 750.
It's 21 yrs old and is still like new .
Absolutely love it. 👌

I have three Honda Shadows.One 1998 Ace , one 2007 Shadow Aero and one 1997 Ace slightly custom made. I just love Honda Shadows!!!

Hi Joe, I'm looking at a Honda Shadow 750 ACE, low mileage, do you know what is fair price?
@@heatherwelch3787 not sure where you're located but typically they should be under $3k
Thanks Joe! I'm in Cali, looking for a great low to the ground 750 Honda. Stumbled upon one, It looks great low miles, asking $3,500 which seems high.
Just bought one yesterday. Very impressed with it so far. Great review.
How do u like it
Had an 06,600 loved it now have a 2016 phantom shadow…love it even more. Mustang seat and Vance and Hines short shots….absolutely love it!!

Would you recommend the Rebel 500 or a Shadow for a shorter rider? I'm looking for my first bike and would like to see a comparison between the two since they're currently on my list of potential bikes.
Shadow. I'm 5' 5 just test drive a Shadow ace american classic. It's perfect brother. I have a 93 shadow 600 vlx and I'm upgrading as we speak. It super smooth and looks like and feels like a king.
I have a 04 honda Shadow Sabre 1100 and I love it! It does have a high rev when you shift but I think all of them do. I also have a 83 Honda Nighthawk 450 as well and I love them both so much fun to ride!
I dont like wind screens either look stupid on a crusier on a sports bike they look nice but not a crusier
great review and keep reading the words of wisdom
😉👍 I own one. 400cc though. They do last for ever.
I have a honda shodow sabre and i love it
I had one like this, wanted to upgrade. Got a HD Road King. just too much bike. Sold it, Got another Shadow.
cardand or chain?
Should be chain
Thanks for giving beginner perspective especially for us girls.
I have to disagree. I think that the Aero is the most American. It just seems that it was fashioned after the Indian motorcycle. How American is that? I ride a Honda Shadow, Aero VT 750 (2004). Yes, the handlebars are wide. I find them, not only comfortable, but they give a lot of authority of counter steer. I like that. Easy to ride and has plenty of control. I have to say that my only complaint is the footpegs are too far forward. I can not stand up on the pegs If I do, my legs are against the handlebars. And that sucks.
same bike i have did away with the windshild up for sale 50
Right what I have... ✌🏻😎
Lol cuz they stole it from Harley-Davidson
the rebel is a cruiser ... I rode one for thousands of miles great bike
I got a goldwing now and want to downgrade ? to a shadow
had a intruder 700 that I loved but I traded for the wing so I could travel with my ex
It was fun but too big just ride around town
so shadow , v star or another intruder is my near future
Constructive criticism? Less um's

I'm not a believer. But these guys are passionate about their motorcycles, and make some of the most informative motorcycle videos on YT. Let them express themselves. They're cool.
