Back to riding after raising the boys. I have a 2003 shadow ACE. I put 8000 miles of smiles this last season.

I stopped riding 25-30 years ago, the itch has been steadily building for the last few years to where it has hit the breaking point. I have always like the Shadow, but now, there will be a new one in the garage before the end of summer. Thanks for your content, it has only helped solidify my choice.

I hear ya! 2011 Honda Shadow Phantom bought in 2017 with no plans of changing!

Had an ‘03 ACE for my first bike. Loved that bike.

IMHO, there are three bikes that area "always the right answer": Honda Shadow. Suzuki SV650, Kawasaki KLR 650. They're all affordable, capable, durable/reliable, approachable, and fairly forgiving of mistakes. I just picked up an 04 Shadow Aero and I love it.

Nice clip. I can feel not only do you love the shadow, you want to let others feel the same. I’m a subscriber now. Thank you

I've got an 04 Aero 750 with just over 35,000 miles and it's still running just like a new one. I also have a 15 Honda CRF250L dual sport I adventure on. Honda definitely makes a fine product that hasn't ever let me down. I live in Florida so the Aero 750 is my daily rider to and from work. I want a Magna 750 next but they are getting harder to find around where I live. I want that banana yellow one from 2000. I'll have one in the garage soon enough.

I have owned many bikes over the years, but my 2007 Aero makes me smile like no other👍👍

If Honda made a 1200 Shadow with the exact same styling as the 750, I think they’d sell a bunch. I bought my wife a new 2006 Shadow Aero and it was an excellent motorcycle. She had to stop riding, so we sold it a few years ago. My only fault with it was that it kinda ran out of steam on the interstate. To this day, I think the Aero is one of the best motorcycles ever made. Ride safe.

I've been looking at other bikes, my wife asked me what I was going to do with Jelly(my shadow) I said "CHOPPER" and told her she could blame this guy I watch named Lucky ACES lmao

MAMSh, Tim when you find the bike that says "you" all over it, you have to get it, and, I mean NOW!❤️🏍️🤓 Doug

I don't have a Shadow, but I have a 1988 Elite 250, a 1981 CM400A and a 2000 Rebel 250, and 3 1978 PA50 II mopeds. My car's a Honda also.

Sold my sportster 1200 r 6 months ago ,also I’m selling my 2013 Harley Electra glide and I’m keeping for ever my 2024 Shadow aero ,no more Harley bs for me ,since I got the shadow on nov 23 2024 feels like a born again rider

About to take a ride on my 01 Ace 750

The Honda Shadow is the Toyota Camry of motorcycles

We'll check out your friend's channel. RV/Camping is our thing haha.. I just started riding a few months ago. I already sold my first bike and I'm considering Honda for my next bike

I bought a mint 1999 VT750 Shadow ACE with just over 7,000 miles on it. But I didn’t have the jack all the way under it and it fell against a pole in my garage and dented the tank😢

In Europe prices are like 50%higher for 2dehands shadows

My OCD is killing me! I wish you would have mounted that convex mirror in the center of the windshield.

Ii Tim I hope all is well. I bought a 2004 Yamaha V-Star 1100 recently, needed an inexpensive second bike when my 2015 Honda Shadow Aero is in the shop for maintenance or repairs. Sometimes the shop will need to keep a bike for awhile during the early and mid season. I can’t go a week or two without some wind therapy. So riders pick up a second older inexpensive bike so that your never are left without a bike. Keep up the good work. Go Bills!

I have a '98 750 ACE out in the shed I've been meaning to get back on the road. Fun little bike, way easier to handle in the parking lot than my road King. My only complaints about the shadow was it was a bit cramped on long trips, pegs would have helped there obviously, and not sure what year yours is, but the real early 750 Shadows have mechanical lifters that need adjustment every couple thousand miles, not impossible to DIY but it's a pita.

Major jet stream drop next week. Heat dome goes over Mexico and Texas should be in the 80s. I hope there are plenty of rides planned?

I really do love my shadow... But here lately it's been a struggle to ride With working remote and really not having any place to go anymore... The hassle of getting all the gear on I'm actually putting on real pants and not sweatpants... Really gets to be an issue.

I agree an 1100 Shadow Aero very similar in style, size and weight to a 750 would sell. I know this because I would buy one. Honda are you listening?

Buy y0urself some X-Large Vulcan Defender Welding gloves from Harbor Freight. If y0u go down, what do you think y0u're going to put out there first to stop your fall? Y0ur hands Did I mention they will keep y0ur hands warm and protected from bumblebee impacts at 60mph? Cost: about 25 bucks. Typical Motorcycle gloves: 80 bucks. Bonus: you can weld with them, that's how I discovered them.

I have a 2006 Honda Shadow and my heart says I want to make it a bobber.

My Aero is pretty awesome...over 40K miles & still kickin'...

I turned my 2001 Shadow 750 ACE into a bobber.

I’m buying a 2014 shadow 750 today. Do you or anyone know if it still has regular valves to adjust and not the stupid bucket and shims.? I am not sure because it’s a 2014

How much older is old enough? I know I can’t take any Honda to my local dealer than 2000. They simply won’t work on it. I’m 76 and I can see well enough to get around, I can change my own oil but when it comes to all the buttons and pieces of plastic on my 2015 Goldwing is more than I have patience for. To me the oldest Shadow I’m looking at is 2011 when they started using fuel injection. I’ve been as far as central South Carolina, carrying money for the purchase and it turned out to be a scam. I was lucky to get the drop on these yokels or I would still be there. I’ve bought more than five vehicles on EBay and another marketplace with no trouble but that one stopped me cold.

No need for a older bike unless its a single carb & easy to work on

Honda V twins are a disappointment. I’ve owned almost all Honda’s and had a 2000 750 ace and currently a 2003 shadow Sabre 1100. I’d take a 750 4cy over a v twin anytime. Shadows are slow cumbersome machines. Sorry if I hurt your feeling but I’m an old biker that don’t bs people. I paid $1850 for the 1100 and have regretted not waiting for a 4cyl even if they cost twice what a shadow does. Cruiser = slow. There’s no reason a cruiser shouldn’t have some balls like the Vmax. If you can’t go faster than 80-90 mph it’s not hey bike. Hitting the brakes don’t always work. Sometimes you’ll need some extra power.

There is a lot of stupid sh1t on this bike, like a fuel pump that isn't actually much of a fuel pump. Rear seat pegs that are way too high up for you to put your feet up on Cylinder heads you can't remove without tearing the whole bike apart Stator coils you can't remove without draining the engine oil. A turn signal that you only can push in to turn off, not just click also back the reverse way. You don't realize how bad this bike is designed until you compare it to an old school Honda air cooled inline twin from the 80's you've been riding for years.
