Honda Shadow description

 My loss is your gain...

I bought this new in 2012 and got one good ride out of it before I was in a pretty severe car accident (unrelated to the bike) that has left me with lasting back pain that has made it impossible for me to ride anymore. I had hope for years that I'd be able to get back on the road on this bike, but it just isn't going to happen.

So the bike has sat in my shed, started up regularly but un-ridden. It only has 132 miles on it, mechanically it is basically brand new. It does have some light surface oxidation / rust on the pipes, fork covers and a few bolts but this is easily cleanable. My shed is unfortunately not climate controlled so it had access to some moisture over the years. All else is in pretty pristine shape. The bike has never been down, there is no damage, all electronics work and it starts right up every time.

It comes with both the stock seat and the Mustang Wide Touring Two-Piece Vintage Seats that I added (Manufacturer Site). Currently only the Rider seat is installed but the passenger seat does come with the bike as well. This seat is far more comfortable than the stock and makes riding this bike a far more enjoyable affair. Even with the aftermarket seat, the seat height on this bike remains one of the lowest on the market so it should be comfortable and manageable for riders of just about any size.

The stock flat black paint is beautiful. The stock foot forward low slung riding position is extremely comfortable. The bike is powerful enough to not leave you want while still being plenty manageable for newer riders. I especially recommend this bike to shorter riders such as myself.

It is being sold as is with no warranty offered or implied. But as you can see from the photos and below video, it's good to go. The title is clear and it's ready to go to a new home. Buyer is responsible for any shipping arrangements/fees. Full payment required within 7 days of Auction End. This bike is for sale locally so I reserve the right to close the auction early.

Below is a video of the bike starting and running.

How do 1000s compare to the 800s

Wed, 09 Nov 2011

Now MotoGP has completed its transformation from 800 to 1000cc, how do the lap times between the different bikes compare using Valencia and the post-season test as a benchmark.. Yesterday, Dani Pedrosa was the quickest 1000 on his Honda RC213V setting a time of 1:32.186. To find the quickest time from the outgoing 800 era you have to look at his current Repsol Honda team-mate, Casey Stoner, but it wasn't set on a Honda.

Honda Tuner Mugen Motorsports to Enter 2012 TT Zero Electric Race at Isle of Man

Thu, 16 Feb 2012

Engine tuning company Mugen Motorsports announced it will compete in the TT Zero electric motorcycle race at the 2012 Isle of Man TT. Though not officially a Honda company,Mugen was founded by Hirotoshi Honda, son of Honda founder Soichiro Honda, and the company is best known for its work as an engine tuner and parts maker for Honda vehicles. The Mugen entry to the TT Zero represents possibly the closest connection so far between a traditional motorcycle OEM and the relatively new realm of electric motorcycle racing.

Motorcycle Beginner Diary: What I Love About Being a Motorcyclist

Mon, 06 Jun 2011

Hey folks, it’s Dennis here, Motorcycle.com‘s Designated Newbie. As documented in our Motorcycle Beginner articles (and if you haven’t read them yet, check out the Related Reading links below!) we’re taking a look at the new rider experience and what it means to be a motorcyclist. I’ve had a couple of weeks’ worth of riding on the new Honda CBR250R (more on that in our next Motorcycle Beginner article) and so far I’m having a blast.
