Honda Shadow description

I have a 1983 Honda Shadow vt500c (500cc) for sale. The bike runs well, lots of power. Brand new air filter, front and rear tires and tubes, battery. The bike starts up great with an electric starter, it takes regular gas, and an optional plexiglass ferring is included if desired. There is small inch long split in the seats seam (not noticeable).

Before the bike is fully warmed up, 1st gear requires high rpms, and there is a slight jump between mid and full throttle. After the bike warms up, this hiccup disappears. This is a relatively minor issue and would probably be fixed with more driving, or a simple carb clean according to my mechanic. I recently had a local bike shop perform a checkup during the new tire installations and this was the only issue they noted.

I installed a new horn, and turn signal mounts (these wear out on older bikes). Need to get rid of the bike due to wife's demands. :) All blinkers, horns, brake lights, startup, shifters, brakes, etc... in good working order. The bike also has a cruise control feature built in to the throttle.

The Honda shadow is shaft driven, like many BMWs, this means you don't need to deal with chain maintenance.

The bike can seat two people if desired, with retractable foot-pegs for the back seat. A motorcycle helmet and trickle charger is included if needed. Great first bike!

Local pickup only.

VTR-Powered Honda Lawnmower Sets Guinness World Record + Video

Wed, 02 Apr 2014

A lawnmower powered by the engine from a Honda VTR1000F Superhawk has set a new Guinness record for the world’s fastest mower. Honda UK revealed its 996cc V-Twin-powered Mean Mower last summer, claiming it had been tested at a speed of 100 mph but could reach a theoretical top speed of 133 mph. Those claims were put to the test in March at the IDIADA Proving Ground in Tarragona, Spain, with an official Guinness World Records adjudicator on hand to observe.

Looking forward to the NX200 - Honda's new touring enduro

It will be a real adventurer, only a small one. The motorcycle will focus on the Asian markets. These isn't much information about the bike yet, but it is preliminary known that it will be built on the CB190 platform and will receive a single-cylinder engine with a displacement of 184 cc.

A wet and grey day in Calais in 1992 wouldn’t be the obvious situation for a life changing experience, but for a 11 year old lad on a boring booze cruise from Dover this is exactly what happened. Pockets bulging with funny money I headed to the Tabac for the obligatory bangers, dirty playing cards and some sweets.  Then it happened, I stood in front of the magazine rack and reached up, as if drawn by an external force.  At the time I wasn’t tall enough for Playboy or L’ Escort so settled for a copy of Moto Verte, the French motocross mag.  Life would never be the same again. Inside there was a double page spread, with a fresh faced Jeremy McGrath resting a leg over his #15 Honda CR125.  Sporting a pair of fluro MX trousers with a, now retro, bright white surname emblazoned jersey, and casting an eye over a seriously vast motocross park.  I stared at this Sinisalo advert all the way home, partly because all the articles were in foreign, but also because I was transfixed.  What and how do I become a motocross champion?
