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.

Ryan Villopoto won his fifth race of the season while James Stewart took second place to just barely remain in contention for the 2014 AMA Supercross title.

WSBK 2013: Moscow Race Report

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Marco Melandri captured his third win of the season, the Ducati 1199 Panigale scored its first podium while Sylvain Guintoli regained the championship lead despite dislocating his collarbone days before the race. But the big news at Moscow Raceway of course was the tragic death of Andrea Antonelli in the World Supersport race. The opening-lap crash in severely wet conditions naturally led to the cancellation of the rest of the events as the World Superbike community mourns the loss of the 25-year-old Antonelli.

Honda VFR1200 blog: Dearly Beloved

Wed, 25 Nov 2009

FOR WHAT we are about to receive... We all know motorcycling's a religion, which may be why Honda chose a defunct church to launch the 2010 VFR1200F - the bike the company reckon will take the sports-touring market by storm. Rain-soaked Spain is the venue for the European launch of the all-new Honda VFR1200F.
