Are you just searching for words to say on the video when you say the bike has no character? Those Honda shadows are probably the most reliable motorcycles built in the last 40 years. I wish I would have bought one when they were in production. I’ve owned 23 motorcycles, all the major Japanese brands and several Harleys, and still regard the Shadow as one of the best. It’s character is in its simple design, it’s American cruiser look, build quality, and an engine that gets you there and back time after time.

It's all of the above. The perfect motorcycle. It's reliable and very beautiful. But it's kind of like looking at a perfect 10 in a magazine. All the above, but it lacks the character your girlfriend with the tattoo or crooked smile may have. If that makes any sense. As you, I've owned Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki and Harleys. This is my second Shadow and they've both been extremely well-made motorcycles. I would recommend one to anybody over almost anything.

The thing with the foot pegs is there's supposed to be a spring in there. It's hard to install the spring, and they're loose because whoever installed them left the springs out.

Beautiful bike. Just bought a 2006 Sabre with 23,000 miles on it. $500 😅 Its my first motorcycle. Got it running after sitting for over 10 years, refreshed everything, now she runs like a champ. Really happy with the bike, all ive heard is good things about reliability so im excited for the future with it 🤙🏽 Learning to ride slowly but enjoying every second of it! Msf course soon 😎

Add a small amount of "Marvel's Mystery Oil" to your fuel, about an ounce per tank full! It will help to keep your carb clean!

I've tried to buy one of those 1100 Shadows 2 or 3 different times, but each time had problems meeting with the seller. Kind of weird.

Really nice Sabre 1100. I am shopping for one currently. I wonder if Honda made more 750s than 1100s. Seem a bit harder to find. I run nothing but Ethanol free fuel in my bikes. For the extra few dollars, the peace of mind makes it worth it.

I love that look. I just bought a black 2001 Shadow Spirit 750 and it doesn not look as cool and beefy as your Sabre, but it's cool and sounds amazing even stock. EDIT : I LOVE that color and as a musician, the color of my bass matters, too.

It's tricky to put on. I would advise putting masking tape all over the fender in the areas where the bolts are. Very easy to scratch your fender doing it.
