My step dad has the same one but the 1100!! He let me ride that bike in 2003 when I was 23 yrs old at the time. What a huge difference from my 1982 Suzuki GS 450l.
This is my bike! I ended up moving to another part of the country and am sorely missing it. It was an engagement gift from my fiancé, who got me into riding. It was collecting dust the first month, I was too scared to hop on. One day my car broke down and I was forced to ride it 40 miles each way to work. It's funny how fast you learn when you're left with no choice! I'm picking her up in January and couldn't be more excited! I enjoy riding our 99 Goldwing as well. I can't wait to get back on, and try other bikes!
Really nice cruiser! I like the black and chrome look. As far as the size, yeah, I can understand. I love the sound though, it's so smooth! It may not have all the extras a Harley or an Indian has, but it is less than 10K, so for a bike that is significantly less than the Harley or Indian, I can understand where they are cutting the costs down to make the bike more affordable. Personally, of the Honda's you test rode, I like the Honda CBR 500R a bit better, but it is still a really nice bike for the price a lot of people can afford. Good test ride!
You would need a seat and control mod to ride regularly and comfortably on that bike at 6 - 4. I'm 6 - 2 and ride an 1100 Spirit. I need 2 more inches either in the seat or the controls or 1 inch in both.
Im getting my first motorcycle im 5’9 i was gonna get a 600 but maybe a 750 is where i should start i dont really have experience with them but ill catch it quick around how much should i spend for 02-06
@@MrAlex305fl I have an 2011 with a little over 8,000 miles. I paid 2600 dollars at a Honda dealership in Sarasota, Florida. 3,200 out the door. 400 a year for insurance.
Thks for your comment re: your height and weight. I am 6'2" and 255# and I'm interested in the 750 engines. I'm tired of the 1100-1300 engines. I like the ABS now on bikes, but my main concern is that whatever I get is a shaft-drive! Too bad this video is out of date.
No idea why it being a shaft drive is a concern? Honda has been making this light weight cruiser for 30 years, no big changes, it’s bulletproof. No chain to stretch and lube, no belt to replace every few years. Do scheduled maintenance it’s last forever. Down sides: ALL new bikes have the suck quite exhaust. I put Cobra Longshots on along with the Cobra ignition module and Ram air cleaner. Now people hear me when I want to be heard. The passenger seat sucks, I changed to a Saddlemen King-Queen Gel. Absolutely the best mod I made. Other than that I love it. As a 750 it doesn’t weight 800lbs. Carries me and the wife at 95mph for miles. Highly recommended as long you don’t have Billy Bad Ass complex. Just gas it go whenever you want.
I really love this one even better than the chopper style Honda I'm a big dude myself but my hight is from my body more than from having long legs so this bike just might be perfect for me
At 6'4", you would feel better on a bigger bike! This is a nice bike, for sure. I have an '06 that looks identical to this one. I got it as a second bike. My other one is an '06 Yamaha Stratoliner 1900. Overall, I'm impressed with it!
I have an 09 Shadow Spirit 750. Rode it around for almost a year. I'm 6'1" and it is a tight fit. Just picked up an 02 Shadow 1100 Sabre. Too bad they don't make them anymore. The Shadow 750 is such a forgiving, linear bike. Hard not to love that.
Good job. I bought a 2011 with major electrical problems for 2,600. Easy bike to work on. After fixing the electrical issues, no shop was going to touch it, since the last owner tried to rewire it. I called the Honda dealer and apologized for stealing the bike. As a first bike, handles almost as well as a 250, but with power of a 750. Parts don't seem to be a problem. You can easily get your money back. The Honda dealership where I bought mine had 4, the other 3 sold for over 3,000. I think 1 sold close to 4,000.

@@manuelcarvalho4199 yeah right. Manuel that is your opinion. I just got my motorcycle endorsement back in March. I looked at a lot of new bikes. Then I looked at a few used bikes.

If I see you riding (I live in Florida) I will wave!
Any NC owners who switched maybe? Thinking about trying something new from my honda NC, but my bike is unbeatable, you know it. Is it worth it? How about torque and over taking or acceleration?
That bike works great for me. I'm 5 ft 7 and 230 lb.🤣 Those bikes do need a 6 speed. I run the rag dog shit out of mine. I run 80 and 90 on mine. It want do 120!
I have a old 1986 Honda Shadow 700.
Shaft drive ,water cooled, hydraulic clutch.

I had a 04 sabre in highschool ...you will never kill that engine lol
@@rutniktrainer where did you get your kit?
Since im 5'8 this bike is very comfortable to me
Pickup up a sitting 2001 for $500. Best bike in the price range for sure.

I haven't ridden either yet

I've had a few of these. You have to remember you are a tall dude. Better suited for under 6 foot.
what is chrome is this chrome bike
Recommend any bikes for short riders? I'm 5'3"
Yea, Honda Rebel 1100 all the way! Check out my video on that bike!
??? K Z 400 ???
turn off the music! Why does everyone feel the need to put music in. We want to hear the ride.
Try standing on those forward controls. Good luck if you ever have to stand on the pegs to avoid bumps and obstacles that you can't maneuver around.
I use the rear pegs in a situation of wanting to stand off the seat. Once you get used to it, it works fine
Or just add floorboards like i did
Any personal recommendations for a 6'4 rider? looking for my first bike.
You could try a Harley Davidson Dyna with forward controls, that's what I have and I'm 6'4". Fits me perfect.
I’m 6’ 2” with long legs. I feel cramped up on most bikes.
Exiting out music ruined it
The best thing about it is not a Harley that way you know it cranks every time you want to ride it
That bike works great for me. I'm 5 ft 7 and 230 lb.🤣 Those bikes do need a 6 speed. I run the rag dog shit out of mine. I run 80 and 90 on mine. It want do 120!
Does any one have one four sale around Hillsboro Ohio let me know
Get rid of the stupid music!
