Honda Shadow description

Honda Shadow VT700C, 1986.  

When initially released the bike was reviewed as "...almost maintenance free. In addition to the automatic valve-lash adjusters, camchain tensioners and hydraulic clutch, the VT750(predecessor with same features) has a pointless ignition, a brushless generator, and shaft drive. Only the spark plugs, engine oil and filters require attention; no motorcycle has ever offered such hassle-free ownership." This bike will easily last you the rest of your life and help you survive a zombie apocalypse.  No chains, has a trouble free shaft drive. The indestructible V-twin was considered to be the most technologically advanced V-Twin at time of release.

This is the perfect starter bike for those looking to be able to cruise on the highways as well as local roads. I've ridden this bike all over NY, NJ and NYC from Brooklyn to Bear mountain through the Hudson valley area. I replaced the brake levers and front and rear tires early summer. Tires are still practically new.

The bike has low mileage but does show it's age cosmetically.  It is flawless mechanically and has no trouble at all with cold starts.  It was my first bike and I was hoping to pour more time into beautifying the bike but time is more valuable commodity for me at the moment.

Bike is perfect size for developing riding skills.  It's not so small that you're compromised on the highway.  It's not so big that you can get yourself into trouble.  You'll be able to get along local roads and enjoy road curves as well as being able to cruise highways with more than enough power to spare.  This bike will take you everywhere trouble free without breaking your bank before you plop down dough for your dream bike.

Priced to move.  The bike is also perfect for restoration or customization projects. 

Feel free to contact me to take a look at the bike and test ride.  It's really a fantastic bike. Hate to part with it.  Bike is also advertised locally and will be sold to whoever closes sale first.

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Honda has signed Dani Pedrosa to a two-year contract extension that will see the Spanish racer stay with its factory MotoGP team through the 2016 season. By the end of the contract, Pedrosa will have spent a whole decade racing for Honda in the premier class to go with another five seasons in the 125cc and 250cc classes. The signing follows a similar two-year contract extension for Pedrosa’s teammate, the reigning World Champion Marc Marquez while over in the Yamaha camp, Valentino Rossi also recently signed a two-year contract extension, making 2016 the year to watch for silly season drama.

Tue, 07 Jan 2014

Joan Barreda won his second special stage this year and now boasts a lead of more than 13 minutes over Cyril Despres and Marc Coma, the two other beneficiaries of a particularly decisive stage. Today’s stage, part one of the first marathon stage with no team service, was characterized by the highest ever racing altitude in Dakar history. Facing the 22,841 foot summit of the Aconcagua, South America´s highest mountain, the motorcycle riders had to cross a pass over 14,107 feet in elevation in trial-like conditions.
