2009 Honda Shadow Spirit Red Low-Rider Cruiser - $2,500 Savings!

 2009 Honda Shadow Spirit New: $6,999

2012 Honda Shadow Spirit New: $8,240

2009 Honda Shadow Spirit like new: $3,995 (BIN this auction)!

 Only 1 ½ years old (purchased in late 2010)! This is my wife’s cruiser – she’s an experienced, easy rider. This cruiser is perfect for a male or female who needs a very low seat height (25.7 inches), the lowest in the industry! I find this Honda Shadow to be the best handling cruiser we’ve owned (fourth) and the lightest – the larger, narrower front wheel and tire make turning effortless at any speed!

 This motorcycle has never been raced, dropped or abused in any way. It has never seen rain and spends most of its life with my collection – in my garage. It is in pristine condition with only 2,800 miles! The 600 mile service was completed by a certified Honda mechanic.

 I have added shorter handlebars (with less rise) to provide greater conform for a shorter rider (5’ 6”). They look fantastic on this cruiser! The original handlebars will be provided to the buyer. There are no additional modifications to this motorcycle.

 If you would like the best looking/handling cruiser in this category at a $2,500 savings – bid on this beauty – you will not be disappointed.

 No hidden dealer fees! Illinois buyers – save hundreds on sales tax with private party purchase!

 2009 Honda Shadow Spirit General Information:

 Timeless styling, V-twin power and value that will make your head turn. The Honda Shadows, big-time cruisers with full-size looks and 750cc performance—without the full-size price.

 Sit on a Shadow Spirit 750 and we know what you’re going to think: “This is the perfect bike for me.” And no wonder: The Spirit 750 combines style, performance, comfort, and Honda technology all into a sporty cruiser package. The 21-inch wheel out front sets the tone, and the V-twin engine provides all the fun. In between you’ll find a perfect blend of classic and modern styling touches, including spoked wheels, plenty of chrome, and a super-comfortable riding position. Get ready for some stares when you’re riding this bike. And plenty of envy, too.

 The power that lurks in the Shadows.

There’s nothing like a V-twin when it comes to cruising. And the Shadow Spirit gets one of our best: a 745cc powerplant that provides plenty of torque and a wide, user-friendly powerband.

 Don’t be fuelish.

One of the best things about the Shadow Spirit? It gets awesome fuel economy. How good? How about an estimated 56 miles per gallon? Now that’s Honda smart!

Important Note: Safety is always my first concern as a rider and I advise anyone contemplating purchasing this or any other motorcycle as a first bike to take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course offered at universities and Harley Davidson dealers across the county! Read “Motorcycling Excellence” – a great book on safety and training. Wear a DOT and SNELL 2005 certified helmet. Wear a motorcycle padded jacket (leather or mesh), long pants, and boots when you ride! Gloves are optional but advised – even on those 90 degree sunny days!

Owner Reviews (Powersportnetwork.com):

 A True Five Star Machine!

I just got back into riding after about two years. I looked at a lot of bikes, new and used. I bought this 2009 brand new with zero miles. I took it on a 100-mile ride this weekend, and it was just awesome. The ride had a lot of country roads, with lots of twists and turns, exactly what I needed to get comfortable with this bike. It runs great, handles great. This is a keeper!

 Speechless!!

I just bought my first bike in March 2009. I have wanted one for years. I am shorter female and had a hard time finding a bike that fit me in height and weight. After speaking to several dealerships, I decided on the Honda Shadow Spirit 750 C2. Beautiful bike! It is definitely suited for the female rider. I had it lowered 2 inches. Even being lowered, it is a smooth ride. Being new to the bike world, I am extremely happy with my bike and look forward to many miles on the road.

 WOW!!

This bike is amazing! There is no term that can properly describe how this bike rides, handles, and performs in general. I bought this bike with high aspirations, and I was definitely not disappointed. My previous bike was a V-Star 650 Classic, nice in its own right, but the Shadow...OUTSTANDING!

The study itself is several chapters deep and must be purchased (you can do so at the link above), but in short, Research And Markets have compiled a study observing the evolving global motorcycle industry, itscompetitive landscape, and the corporate and marketing strategiesadopted by the motorcycle companies as some of the factors to have remarkably impacted the global motorcycle industry dynamics.
