You've capture the sound of that bike perfectly man. I can't get over how great it sounds. I'm really glad your enjoying it. Cheers from Canada brother.

I’ve had my ACE Tourer for 23 years now. My friends who ride HD can’t believe how cool my bike still is. Love the vt1100’s! Rides and handles great- she’s a keeper! Great review

Pretty fair review I'd say, it's not a '83 V65 Magna (My last bike) but it is a handful of motorcycle! I have a '97 VT 1100C2 ACE in Pearl Ivory Cream and Black. The torque figures for this one and the flying V are not that far apart, the shadow pulls like a freight train at incredibly low rpm, exactly how low can't be told because there is no tach on them, which makes you fly by the seat of your pants. The bike will turn easily in the 16' and is extremely agile for it's weight and size. Since I've cranked up the shocks to 5 (I'm 245) I don't scrape the floorboards as much but I still do occasionally. It's very comfortable on long trips, has an awesome exhaust note with the factory pipes, it gets 35 MPG even when being roasted which will give you about 200 kms before reserve, the single crank pin vibration is pleasant and since the handle bars are isolated it doesn't transfer into your arms but the feel of it elsewise is divine. The wide handlebars make counter steering on the corners effortless and to sum things up it's the closest thing to flying while your still on the ground. It is a true classic and any enthusiast would do themselves well to get a ride on one to get the experience. Cheers

Thank you very much for riding on the beautiful Honda Shadow 1100, I drive a Honda Shadow 1100 the C2 myself and I am also very satisfied with the motorcycle. However, yours looks nicer than mine but it was fun to drive around the USA for a bit with you.

Love the sound of those pipes! I have a 1996 Shadow ACE1100 C2. It's a great cruiser!

Im supposed to go look at one to buy tomorrow along with a 750. Two for the price of one. Thanks for the videos they helped so much.

great review. what's your average gas mileage. does the A.C.E. have 2 carbs? what octane do you usually use.

Music to my ears. A beautiful bike. My first bike was a Honda when they just started importing them to the States. I wish I had it today. A real classic.

I use trip odo for gauging gas. Fill up between 80 to 100 miles driven. I have been putting in an ounce of seafoam per gal of gas too to keep the carbs clean (i hope). Is that a single pin crank motor? What is that Gauge on the right bar?

Nice bike and love the laugh

Would you recommend the shadow 1100 for a first bike? I wasn’t sure how it compares size wise to the 750 version.

Great review excellent!!! Thank you

90hp? Do you have two 1100 ACE engines in there? They are rated 52 crank HP.

Great review. Thank you.

La Honda Shadow VT 1100 C2 A.C.E. 1996 est la plus grande réussite jamais réalisée chez un constructeur. J'ai la même depuis dix ans et je ne suis jamais en panne... Pour la remercier d'être si jolie et si parfaite, je ne lui donne que de l'essence super indice d'octane 100 ! Et elle ronronne de plaisir.

Wonder why Honda didnt put a fuel gage on the VT 1100 ??

When you mentioned the vibration, at what speed happens. I have a 2006, 1100 shadow spirit and I feel vibrating at the bottom just passing 65mph. And it's my first bike ever LOVE IT

Wow, I got the exact bike a 1998 Honda shadow Aero 1100 and Ive never rode a motorcycle before and I really want to what's ur advice?
