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.

2012 Honda Gold Wing Tour: Part 4

Fri, 20 May 2011

Yesterday aboard the 2012 Honda Gold Wing was quite an eye opener. I had shared my impressions of some of the upgrades to the new Wing in blog posts earlier in the week (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), but these focused mostly on some comfort and convenience updates and the bike’s ability to eat up open stretches of pavement. But on this day we put the Wing to a completely different test: the Tail of the Dragon, US 129 in North Carolina.

From a Honda press release: American Honda Motor Corp., Inc. announced today that it has renewed its contract with GEICO Honda for an additional three years, ensuring that the Factory Connection-run program will continue running Honda’s factory-supported 250 team through the 2017 season. Honda’s long professional relationship with Factory Connection owners Mike Grondahl, Jeff Majkrzak and Rick Zielfelder started in 1995, when the company began providing the factory team with suspension-related technical support.
