I bought a bike from the auction for only $300 and got it running in 4 minutes! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJaIist739KVYmQ.html

I'll trade you half a swiss army knife, a couple cans of baked beans and an old antique pocket watch i found in the river.

$350 and I’ll also bring a gas can that doesn’t dump gas everywhere

Just a word of advice when you pour gasoline on a bike that's sparking from the jumper cables probably want to do it outside and not next to your inventory just in case it goes poof 😂

Ah my second bike. 1986 Shadow 500 in that same red. Yep, I'm old enough to have bought it new. That was one absolutely fantastic motorcycle. Shaft drive, water cooled with auxiliary fans that would kick on when needed. Extremely comfortable on road trips with a very smoooooth ride. One caveat -- passengers had to learn NOT to attempt using that little back jabbing spine breaker as an actual backrest and more of a butt stop.

My first street motorcycle ever, and the one that I learned on, was a 1985 Honda Shadow 500 back in 2003. I loved that bike. It was light yet snappy. I rode the heck out of it and did all my young "hooliganing" on it. It had a well done custom paint job, navy blue with silver flames. She was a looker. Ended up selling it for double what I paid for it. Now days I ride a Vulcan 900, but I still miss that bike sometimes.

That was my first motorcycle! I loved it! We had some excellent adventures! I'm so glad that you featured the Shadow 500 in your video! I've watched this video over and over. I wish I still had my bike. Thank you so much Sean and company!

I just found your channel (July 2023), and I really like your strategy: buy the cheapest bike at auction and get it running. And, you are not bad at troubleshooting (wiring, carbs, etc.). You have been working with my era of bikes (72 years young). I'm living vicariously through you! Keep on wrenching!

Sheesh. Just left the Kawasaki 440 video came here and just laughed as this Honda shadow is what I rode while in the military like 1985 to 87. Fun Bike.

I offer many prayers for you and your family daily, free of charge! Much love brother!

I will come on down and cook everyone at your dealership burgers that made form scratch with bacon and cheese and of course fresh french fries

Jumpers made a spark right after fuel's been everywhere... loved it😅

I'm a new sub and I'm not surprised at all the negative comments from the motorcycle expert master trolls 😂. Channels about anything motorized have to deal with the biggest trolls I swear, everyone knows everything lmao.

Classic bike at a bargain price. Keep up the work of saving these old rides.. Good stuff man. Those were the bikes a lot of us were riding back in the day.

If you will take 500 Canadian, I will drive 2000km and that would be awesome road trip to see you guys and get some tank straps

My mom rode one of those from Colorado to Calgary Alberta and back! Looked just like that.

Hands down, one of the best bikes ever built. Totally worth fixing.

I don't know .. the cheese Burgers are sounding pretty good right now LOL ;)

I bust out laughing when you said get the electronics (soaked in gas). BTW, my very first bike was a Honda 550 Nighthawk and this one reminds me of it even though the Nighthawk was a I4. It was such a great bike and brought me into the world of riding my own motorcycle. Previously my only experience was riding someone else's bike. Way back when my first experience was a mini bike that a friend in neighborhood let me ride. DONE!!!! I was HOOKED! I never got to own my own (2 wheel powered vehicle) until the Nighthawk. Great memories including lawman chases. LOL!

I just found your 'I bought the cheapest bike at the auction' series and I can't stop watching!

I had the '86 Shadow 500 in candy apple red I bought new. $2600. Top speed 86mph,air adjustable front forks that would walk you into the incoming road on undulating curves.Brings back the memories. Yours is missing the sissy bar back rest with the lockable rear compartment

My name is Scott, and I am not from Tijuana. For the Hnda, I offer Maria's brother, Miguel.

Man I would love to run into a deal like that for my stepsons first bike.

I wish I lived in America. You guys have such nicer access to motorcycles, especially auctions.

These old Hondas (including the magna) have un potted CDI units so you can open them up. The solder joints inside crack causing intermittent spark

There used to be a guy named Shawn who owned a bike shop. Sadly he blew himself up Trying to start a Honda shadow😂😂😂😂😂

I dont have an offer to make. I just wanted to say that i would love to make a deal for a motorcycle from your shop one of these days. Maybe even give you my suzuki savage 650 as a trade in or something. I think it would be the coolest thing to see a vid with myself in it or maybe even a bike that i traded to you for something different. My next bike, i am really leaning towards a goldwing. I just love the way those bikes look and how much room and comfort they have for my wife on the back. Bro, I live your vids, I watch them everyday like it's my releigon. Keep up the amazing vids man!!!

I hate new gas cans so much! They never work right! They are "safer" how is spilling gas everywhere safe!?

That's identical to my '86 Honda shadow 500! Love my bike, I get a lot of compliments on it when I'm riding around on it.

Hey my cheap motorcycle helmet is SNELL rated and I whip

The soak-it-with-gas comment and Caleb pushing at the end was quite funny.

My dad had an '89 shadow 1100. Loved that thing! Was sad when he sold it, because I was with him when he bought it in late '89- early '90.

my dad got a 3000 1954 bsa a7 that someone personalized by putting yellow letters that says PETE on the front fender. its a real mess bu i like it .got it running for him

I will trade you 300$. A good condition Oxford sprint magnetic tank bag. A Rivals Nerf gun. And a fully stickers Kali helmet with OG kawasaki colors! Love the channel brother!!!

Just now seeing this video. I bought my 85 shadow new. After about a year kill switch went out. Would crank over but would not start. Had to sell 2 years later after losing job. Great Bike.

I have 4 bikes in my stable right now and this one will always have a place in it. It’s so versatile, down for anything, with a little bit of attitude to boot

I Love these Honda's. Im Telling you THESE 80s bike's Are Comming Back

The best I can do is 10$, I'm taking all the risk here.

I had an 83 750 Shadow. That thing was a BEAST! But, below 60 degrees it didn’t want to start.

I got my 85 Magna v30 for 100$ from a pornstar friend who was moving and used it as a seat in her garage. Thought it was useless and only good parts were the frame and seat. I pumped up the tires, rolled it into neutral, got it onto a trailer, drove it home, cleaned the carbs, put pod filters on it as it was missing the manifold, and she needs a battery. And she's good to go.

You've bought the cheapest bike at the auction but they're also one of the best bikes ever made. Best bike Honda ever made in my opinion. Dont sell it for peanuts. Bikers who know their bikes and build custom bikes will chew your arm off for a good condition VT500 or VT700 as they make an excellent bobber. They sell for between 1500 euro and 3000 euro over here in Ireland in that condition. I just finished restoring my own 85 VT700 which was imported from the US. Personally I think you should keep this bike and do a full restoration/custom bobber build on it. It would make a great video. They're technically simple to work on and crazy reliable. The quality of parts that went into those bikes back then by Honda doesnt happen anymore. The only weak point on those bikes is the rear swingarm. The box metal part in front of the rear tyre wasnt welded properly so water gets in and they rust from the inside out so nowadays most of them need to be taken off and welded up to repair so they are road safe. Check the frame on the left side near where the swingarm mounting bolt screws in as it may have a large rust hole as well near the original kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rql4m66mxt_YmYU.html

Hey, got a newfangled invention that might help when you’re pouring gasoline, it’s called a funnel!!

I bought a $40 1983 Honda Shadow VT500C. Got a new battery and did some maintenance. My first motorcycle indeed.

8:36 daaaaaaang... that spark from the jump box after covering the bike in gas..

replacement tires will cost more than the bike!! ha ha.

Wow! Mixing raw fuel with electrical sparks looks like a great idea. Especially inside.

I bought an 82 VT750 for 500 on Ebay. It had like 5K miles on it. I drove from Granby, CT to Deary New Hampshire and loaded it in the back of my truck. I rode that bike for like 10 years. I rode the crap out of that bike, rain, snow, sleet, and all weather. I changed the oil one a month. The most expensive thing I ever had to do was replace the stator for 300 dollars. It was shaft drive and there really wasn't much in the way of maintenance beyond tires and brake shoes. I sold it to a Harley Tech at Gengras HD in East Hartford when I bought my FLSTF in 2001 and he chopped it. That bike is still on the road and it never had valve job, or any kind of rebuild. You can't kill a honda shadow for nothing. I have had my FLSTF since 2001 and at 65K I replaced the cams, tensioner, and oiler to be upgraded to modern specs but that's it on the FLSTF.

I just got my own 1984 Honda Shadow 500 last year. It'll be my first bike and I can't wait to get it cleaned up. It runs but needs alot of cleanup and repainting

I bought one of these last year ('83 model) and took the motor and put it on my go kart.

ill trade you a 10 speed huffy, at least you could ride that lol

must be nice to be a dealer who can go to those kinds of auctions. Those bikes are really nice looking for the money, worth putting a few hundred bucks into if they needed it.

Classic NES with 2 controllers (and a duck hunt gun) and two games (Paperboy2 and Friday the 13th). I'll also consider throwing in a Sega Genesis model 2 with controllers and a few games!

5:28 AVE "Focus you F!"

Riding those cheap old beaters is actually a lot of fun. You can beat the piss out of them and do things that you would never feel comfortable trying with your nice bikes and no big deal if you dump those over. My first motorcycle was a 1978 Yamaha 750 Special with the top speed of 110 for the shape it was in. I had a blast on that bike learning to do wheelies and Donuts on the road keeping my feet on the pegs. I never did dump it over either. Kind of wish I still had a beater to progress with

How did I just find this channel I love this stuff working on older bikes !!!!

Love it brother.. Those bikes are cool starter bikes. If you weren't so far I'd buy it for my wife! God bless.. Chuck from T& M Motorsports.

More on the magna please I love the story with that bike. Please keep it!

My first bike was a 1985 Honda Shadow VT500! I loved it and that bike is the reason I still ride today. Now I have a Honda VTX1800 that was recommended by you in a past review! I love your videos keep up the good work!

Anybody else see the giant arc at 8:38 at the bottom of the red insulator of the jump pack to the bike frame? Good thing he mopped up that gas.

I'd make an even better offer for this... A fifth of Knob Creek *and* Bulleit bourbon.

8:35 you saw that spark on that passenger peg right.?

alright my best offer is a half tootsie rolll a lollypop i found in the trash and a 4 peice nugget but i ate 2 and a half of them

Yooooooo!!!!!! As if josh from tik tok is in this vid!!! So crazy, I’ve watched him for ages on tik tok! Getting my first big boy motorcycle soon I hope! Only just found this KZfaq channel couple of weeks back! Love the content really do!!

A 70s something Harley sprint in pieces, and a Bible

We'll take the best offer, as long as it's cash! haha

I had a 1986 Honda Shadow VT1100c which was running, new tires etc fall in my lap for $100! Had it a year, runs perfect

Three antique french novels, a Johns Hopkins t-shirt, a signed photo of me shirtless holding the American flag atop my 1970 mustang, and a firm southern handshake

Hey! This video is not private anymore 🤣! Love it

125.01 and a dozen ears of Iowa’s finest sweet corn 🌽. Hell I’ll even throw in a bushel of Busch light 🍻. Would do a sweet video riding it back to Iowa as well.

I have a 1986 Honda TRX 70 that I have rebuilt but still needs a little work to be perfect. I had a 1984 Honda Shadow 700 in "Medium metallic Scorpio Red". Great color! Wait, I have about $1,000 the TRX so I guess I do not want to trade.

i bought a 2004 drz400e for $100 CAD. (like $60 USD). cleaned the tank and carb and fixed the fuel shut off. rides mint now

😂 yes perfect! Soak everything really good with gas first always!

This is 'the guy' who always gets everything cheaper than anyone else and always makes money when he sells.........

This is the first bike I owned in the USA. I live in Thailand now and I have spent the past 10 years trying to find an 85-86 Honda Shadow 500cc but no luck so far. If I were to buy this bike ship it here the Tariffs Thailand puts on an imported motorcycle is 50-60% of the cost of the bike. Which means the price of the bike more than doubles. I am guessing that it would cost me 4-5 grand to ship it to Thailand.

LOL You are Killing me over here. lol sometimes you can't fix a bike by putting gas in it and and wiping the paint with a wash rag. so informative.

wow im quite late to this video, i had no clue this bike exists, i think im in love guys: anyone that owns this beauty can tell me more about it?, i think i know what my next bike is gonna be, and i want to know more about it.

there's a man who's never had a bike fire. really. they happen that quick.

Oh my gosh. That was my first motorcycle! Mine was black and I think a 1983. I traded a clapped out Chevy truck for it. I rode that thing everywhere! Even filled the tank seam and did a custom paint job. Great first bike. Sold it for almost a grand after the first season I had it.

I can offer you my hover round mobility chair let me know

I love watching you're videos bro, also the Bible Verses. Godbless bro. New subs here from Philippines.

Having your boy pushing you on the bike at the end earned you a subscribe. Loving these videos.

My 85 vt500c has 5500 miles, runs looks and rides like new great bike.

You are going to get lots of weirdos calling and texting you after putting your number out there like that.

I’ll teach you how to play D&D and run an epic session in exchange for this bike 👍

The commercial was actually for the 700. I had a 1983 500 Shadow that I loved.

My first 2 legal motorcycles were Honda's 1. Night Hawk 550 # 2. V65 Magna. I was hard on them. 2nd gear was gone, thought the drive shaft., not a mechanic. I was always doing wheelies on the Magna. Never got to fix it, Got ripped off the bike n jumped, they were smashing bottles over my head. ( Thank god I was wearing a Helmet) see kids, always wear your helmet.... One guy rode off , while they were stompin on me, I heard him trying to get in second gear.lol... I faked a seizure, they gave me enough space , got up and ran.. The stories become scarier through my Harleys, should probably stop... I'm affiliated with with God today, Took me long enough to realise God was always the one getting me through.. sweet bike Beard Guy, I really Like you man

I can trade my failed dreams and all my hopes for tomorrow and throw in my Twinkie I’ve been saving for the end of days !!

I’ll offer you to be on my KZfaq channel lmao jk😂 I’m not to big yet but great vid guys Ima save up money and buy one of your bikes one day

Original Tamiya Thunder Dragon, 2 sets of rims, 3 sets of tires, another body, all hop up parts still on the spree, original remote, two batteries, full box of extra parts and the upgraded remote control. Worth about 1k - 1.2k.

I'll tell ya how good that bike is , I used a 1983 Shadow 500 to ride from Denver to Baltimore twice out and twice back ........ Miss that lil thing !!!!

I will offer 200 bucks and i promise i will get it running and give it as a gift to my friends daughter

An Ithaca double barrel shotgun with a damascas barrel (needs refinished), a long bow without the string, a bottle of Mead.

man i miss my shadow. I had a 1987 700cc one here in ireland, but lack of money, and a lapsed learner permit, ment i had to sell. On a pluss it isnt rotting in the garden anymore, and someone is looking after her. Great bike. Low maintance and just keeps going. Wish i could pick something up this cheap here in ireland, would happily work on it hahaha. Bike prices gone through the roof here. So getting back to riding wont be happening for me for a long time. Love the channel, great content

It was sparking good from the side lolol

Looks identical to my first bike, I'd love to have it back. I'd trade you all 7 of the original hard back Harry Potter books for it. Good read.

I really wish that these auction deals were available to the general public. If that would happen, impoverished essential workers like me could afford a motorcycle.

My first bike was an ‘84 Suzuki GS550L. It was an In-line 4 but other that that it was almost identical to that Honda.

I play pool in biker bars and my first bike was a Shadow 600. I still miss that thing sometimes! Great little bike to get around town on. Fill it up on Monday for $5 and ride it all week!

I love when he gets out the tools. Always in for a good video.
