Yes its suitable. I am a 300 lbs man and I took my 2005 shadow for long rides (2 + hrs) on the interstate all the time with no problems at all at 70 to 85 mph. I have also been about 110 mph riding with my buddy on his crouch rocket. 750 cc get a bad rep from people how make a shit load of money and wanna make fun of people who ride for the pure pleasure and not the COOL FACTOR. I ride because I enjoy not because I wanna be cool. Ride want you can, when you can, and fuck the people who say other wise!

Is a Shadow 750 big enough for a man? I guess perception is everything, since a Shadow 750 has the same seat height and a slightly longer wheelbase than a Harley Road King, and pretty evenly matched in performance. But nobody ever asks if a Road King is "big enough for a man". LOL!

a grown man can tour the world on a bicycle, so yea it's more than enough bike.. and thx for the video - good work 👍

My wife and I went camping on my Shadow Aero several times, tent, air mattress, bed roll, 2 changes of clothes and a burner and coffee pot. Good times...

Love the highway videos. I've been looking for videos about bikes on the highway. Please keep em coming.

Im riding a Honda Shadow Phantom right now. Its my first bike, when I first started it felt like a lot of power. Now that I've been riding for two years it doesn't feel like that much. It can keep up on the highway, I'm able to pass cars no problem. I do plan on upgrading to a FXDB next year though, I feel ready for something bigger, but the honda 750 was a great first bike

Gee, I'm so old that I remember when a 650 was a "big" bike...

I had 2002 shadow spirit 750. I switched out the sprockets on it because it did wine and vibrate a lot. It was so smooth after that and got better mpg. Took it on a 1100 mile trip through the hill country around San Antonio.

I ride a 2011 Shadow Phantom, im 6'2 and my bike is an import and has Mustang touring seats fitted by the previous owner in the states. Its real comfy and smooth. plenty quick enough with my 13stone frame aboard. I saw 90 on the clock the other day and 70 plus is easily achieved all day. The limiting factor is not the bike, its the traffic clogged roads here in the U.K. You guys in the states are so lucky to have such big empty roads and cheap gas !

I ride a Shadow, 2004, Aero 750. It's a 5-speed. In fifth at 55mph, I can accelerate to 70mph in just under six seconds. It is bare-bones stock and very well taken care of. I love my Shadow. It well does 110mph without sounding like it's going to have a heart attack.

I have a 750 Aero and it is perfect for me. Very stable on the road, will not get blown around and at 73 years old it is a little more easy for me to handle. A good bike for traveling. Only bad thing, gas, it only carries 3.5 gals, I carry and extra 4 in a special container setup.

Ive had my vt750 shadow aero for 2 years now. im 6'1 and 200lbs. I have no problem with any highway in my area (ontario). Its a fantastic ride. Obviously, there are faster bikes out there and bigger engines but the shadow 750 has more than enough juice to deal with any legal speed.

Personally I think the Shadow Aero is one of my all time favorite bikes. I learned to ride on one and am going to bebgettingone soon. I am 6'1 250lbs andI fit perfectly on it in my opinion. To me all around great bike.

You've got to be kidding. If a Shadow 750 isn't big enough for solo touring, you need to learn how to ride. I have ridden to 37 states and piled up over 40,000 miles on a Honda Rebel 250. That's right, a Honda REBEL 250cc. I'm 6' 220. I did have to get another seat, and forward mount controls to fit properly, and ride in the right lane, but it pretty much kept up with right lane traffic. I rode it at WOT most of the time. A Rebel can be ridden at WOT for nearly 100,000 miles before it starts to show significant wear. I belong to a "minimalist" touring club, we ride bikes of no more than 250cc. The most common bike being a 250cc dual sport. But many have much smaller bikes. People have ridden around the world on bikes 100cc or smaller. And you're wondering if 750cc is enough? I also have a Kawasaki Vulcan 750, which tops out at 120 mph+, and will outrun most 1500cc cruisers. It is a left lane cruiser that will run 90 mph all day without even breathing hard, 3500 rpm below redline. But, since you have doubts, I wouldn't take any chances. Get a Goldwing 1800. Passing on the shoulder is illegal and dangerous. So is weaving back and forth like that. On a slower bike, those slow big trucks or someone towing a camp trailer are your friend. Fall in behind one and let them block traffic for you. Don't worry about what is going on in the left lane. In my state the speed limit is 75 mph, and I've been tailgated while doing 90+ If speed is your thing, get a Hayabusa or a Ninja ZX1400. You can go 180+. Speed is not what cruising is all about.

had a 2002 honda ace with cobra delete​ baffled exhaust. sounded so mean! went two up alot with it and still pulled 85 miles an hour. alot of compliments on the sound and loved how easy it was to ride.

My husband is 5’6 and 180 lbs. I’m 5’7 and 200 lbs. we both easily rode on our Honda shadow aero 750 2007. Got a sissy bar for it. It’s an amazing sounding bike and we are about to take it on a 990 mile ride from LA county to beautiful Oregon :)

My 2012 Honda Shadow Aero VT750C tops out at around 93 mph. You can run her at that speed for 20 min. but when you get home you will see she blew out about a quart of oil from overpressurizing the sump. So you need to add a quart of oil. I think she would do 75mph all day every day without blowing oil. So yes she can handle any Interstate, as long as you don't mind being constantly passed by speeders! She is still just about my favorite bike because I travel on the Interstate maybe once every several years. These days I have saddle bags "Connindales" from bicycles, waterproof cloth, very lightweight and good capacity. I have also dropped the stock bars way down, she looks like an old board track racer and she handles twice as good! I have the shocks in position 5, or hardest setting to control the handling, she will not wobble no matter how hard I push her on a technical back road. She's a keeper for sure!

Thanks for the review! (Just getting back on bikes after years away) Kinda off subject here, just wondering what kinda helmet your using? Very little wind noise in recording.

had a 1985 shadow 700. loved that bike. you're making me want another...

I have a 2009 Shadow I bought in St. Albert in Alberta Canada. I cruised between Edmonton and Victoria on my Leave every chance I got. Even with my sore back, it is still a great bike for this grown MAN.

Been there done that..."03" 750 ACE. COUPLE OF TRIPS TO NC from VA...no problems. With a full A.L.I.C.E. pak and two full large saddle bags.

Lol you give crap to the car for not using his blinkers and yet you don't use yours! haha! the shadow it's good for highway for sure I've taken my phantom from Las Vegas to L.A. going 90 almost the whole way and it performed great. I'm not trying to create a debate or hating on your video in fact i like your video and it seems like you have a pretty cool personality! I'm just writing about what I have experienced on the shadow! peace! ✌

like the videos, gotta 2012 shadow Phantom, love it, gets me from Lancaster to Chester county and back no problem.

6' 200 pounder. I had a Shadow Aero 750 and I made many 450 mile round trips, mostly on I75, with it. It's not my first choice, but it was adequate.

Your reviewd are the best. I come from a sales background and I can tell that it is hard to find a good salesman that's not pushy but respects the customers and treats them like you would want to be treated. You make more sales that way anyhow. I hope they appreciate you with that dealership.

“and THATS why you use your signals” *doesnt use a signal*

I em 6"1, 240 pounds my shadow can keep 80 without any problems for a looong time I love him.

bigger bikes are over rated . i dont see any thing wrong with the shadow 750 . you go to fast you cant enjoy the ride that much .

What are you using as far as your microphone setup? Perfect noise cancelling. I'd really like to know.

It is. I've just completed a 8,000-mile ride through the Southeast USA and Mexico, and this is the 4th such ride I've made on my 09 Shadow Aero. Roads, Mountains, Desert, it did it all. Not the best bike for each situation, but it did fine.

I ride my 2007 Shadow Spirit 750 just fine...and I'm a grown man. I did sprocket modification, though; I replaced the rear 41 tooth sprocket with a 38 tooth one. Otherwise, it would rev-out at highway speeds over 60mph. Now, my bike and I can ride comfortably at 75-80mph, if I wish. The sprocket modification is very safe for the bike and engine. It's a very common modification discussed on the Honda Shadow forum.

I am 6'4", 215lbs, and ride a 03 shadow 750, it's PLENTY of motor for a highway or byway, my only physical problem is the small frame for a large framed man. I'd say anyone at our under 6'should have no problem fitting comfortably on it. my stock shadow(ace American classic) will top out around 140mph wide open on flat ground. I would suggest to the man in the video to speed shift on a shadow as opposed to clutch grabbing Everytime, extend the life a bit.

I have a ‘13 Areo and my wife and I ride the Cherahola Skyway regularly in Tennessee/ North C. Absolutely no problem whatsoever. Does a great job!

My first four bikes were two Triumph Bonnie 650's One 68 Honda CB750 and a Yanaha 650. Yhey back in the late 60's and early 70's were plenty fast. I hate freeways at 70 all day with out a shield like my electra gluide, I like the old scenic hwys Rt 66 and Rt 2 come to mind. lots of smelling the roses and easy pull off the road camping.

The initial comment is nuts. I rode a Honda cb 350 for years including a 7,000 mile trip to the East Coast and Back and I had my Honda cb360 at 110 on the freeway in 1976.. The older cycles seemed more powerful. I also have a 360 Scrambler from around 75 . Just about anything bigger than a 125 is ok.

Which helmet and Bluetooth system you are using? sounds very clean.

Im very happy with mine , super economical on gas too, thx for the review

Would you recommend this size bike for a first bike?

I have the honda shadow black widow 750 cc and I am very happy with it. I only experience little strong wind in chest area when I ride on Hwy. Maybe I should look in installing a wind shield but otherwise is a great bike.

Been riding a 2009 Honda 750 Shadow Spirit that I bought from my son. I'm about 5'6" and this bike fits just right. Have made two trips of around 1100 miles one way with camping gear and stuff. She never missed a beat. "Rona" blew my plans for this year but next its NM and AZ and maybe more. I have zero concerns about this bike.

I have 2 Shadows. '86 VT1100C that has been mine since 2004 as a daily rider. '01 Shadow ACE 750 I picked up end of August 2016. The VT1100 developed problems after a shop in Allen,Tx screwed up replacing the rear wheel bearing. Ended up ruining the actual rear wheel and had to replace other parts of the drive train. I got the 01 Shadow 750 for a daily rider as the 1100 awaits some major restoration. I miss the difference in power but still have to keep an eye on my speed as the 750 does get out there quick and can sneak up to the 90's without any warning vibrations. Doesn't sound or feel overwound at all.

I'm 6 foot, 260 lbs. And I fit perfect on my 1995 600cc shadow. Idk why people act like a guy needs a +1000cc bike just to go highway speeds

LOL he had his turn signal on while you were passing him on the shoulder. i guess you didn't see it. Great video!

Yes, the Shadow 750 & my 1100 are both 5 speed, and I never get higher than third unless I'm on the Interstate. I don't go to 2nd until forty mph and third takes me to 60 easily

Does it handle better on the highway than a sportster?

Hi from Portugal.. which one do you prefer, the shadow 750 phantom or the Suzuki Boulevard c50??? Continue the good work. . 😉

I have a 95 800 Suzuki Intruder. Plenty of power for highway speeds, will hit 90 with no problem at all and tops out at about 115. Mid size cruisers will get the job done. I once rode it 714 miles in one day. Yes, those type bikes are good for a grown man.

Doesn't it feel to low for 6"2?

I have a 02 750 ACE and I specifically bought it to ride to Virginia and back. I ride 80 the whole way "2 hr ride" and it does fine. Just wish it had a windshield

Bigger bikes=bigger toys=bigger status. That's what it's all about when it comes to cruisers. 750cc is perfect for most people. Buying a 1500cc is like buying a sports car thinking you'll get the effect every time you go for a ride. You won't.

Which do you think is better ? The Honda Shadow or the Suzuki Boulevard ?

I’m on a 07 shadow 750 it’s been a great first bike but the only problem is I’m 6’4 and after anything more then 30-45 mins my lower back is on fire the feet controls don’t feel extended out enough for me so my legs are constantly cramping

Anyone know what type of handle bars is on the bike in this video?

3:30 Yes he was signalling, fella!

I have a 2008 Shadow Spirit with only 15k miles on it. I replaced the Spirit bars with Aero bars for greater pullback. I replaced the stock seat which made my rearend sore after an hour's worth of riding with a Mustang seat and made a 1-up rider out of it. I also added Honda leather saddlebags and a Switchblade windshield. I cruised from Kissimmee, FL to Connecticut and back. No problems riding Shadow 750 motorcycles on the highway plus they're great around-town bikes.

With an 07 Honda shadow aero I'm happy, I'm 6 foot 171 pounds, I'm 18 and riding for 2 years. She sounds great with cobra streetrods!

My 03 A.C.E. topped out at 120 and I haven't gotten my 04 on the highway yet. These bikes are great for both learners and guys who don't necessarily need a super fast bike but just want to cruise.

What is the fuel capacity on this bike and how far can it go on one tank of gas?

I totally appreciate and understand the video. I have a 2007 Shadow 600cc and it acts exactly how you described. It is a 4 speed and it feels like it has to work super hard even to cruise at 60 mph. And don't even think about going 75 for an extended amount of time, the bike would have a heart attack. Its a great bike that is very reliable, but not a highway cruiser at all. Thanks for the video. 👍🤘

I’m 6’4 350, will this be good for me to start on?

Really like your videos. When the day comes to buy I will seriously consider going through you. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Srkcycles Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Did you hang a left onto Yellow Goose from Harrisburg Pike? Saw you cruised down 283 south towards Lancaster (Route 30), then swung around at the Fruitville Pike interchange and headed back 283 north. I know these roads well my friend. Have cruised them many times on my Shadow Spirit as well. :-)

I used to ride a 2011 Shadow Phantom. Might be because I am a bigger guy, but I felt like it was wound out at 75 mph. Fastest I've gotten it was 85. I bought a Sportster 1200 and now I don't think twice about highway speeds.

Any idea how many miles per tank?

Love my shadow phantom 750, except when I'm riding straight into the wind. Then I really miss my '95 CBR 600.

Im 6' 275lbs and i ride a 03 750 spirit I've had a vtx1800 and still prefer the 750

Didn't see you activate a signal changing lanes.

I need your help may you give me some advice for a good 950, comfortable, small bike for a 18 year old that is 5,3

Good ride, God bless you.

2005 Shadow aero is my first bike, i love it.

Is a Shadow 750 confortable for a tall rider? I'm (6'3) Cheers from Brazil.

Yes, the 750 is big enough to cruise on, however, by adding a stage 1 mod, more hp and more importantly, more torque, at the rear wheel, can be had.

Am I mistaken, or did he criticize the driver at the on ramp for not using a turn signal when he himself failed to use one?

I have a 09 Honda shadow and it does ok at highway speeds but on long road trips it's kinda pushing it. A 900cc or more would feel a lot more at home on the highway than the 750. But for most things the 750 is just fine

TOPP VIDEO! But need co pilot so we see you. Thanks!

I'm 6'0" and around 270 and I ride an 05' Aero 750. I modded mine with performance upgrades this winter and she's got some pep to her now. Stage 2 jets, short pipes K&N air filter. Not a bad bike at all. Easy to control, low center of gravity.

That bike sounds great

Sure you could but why? Yamaha Raiders are out for a decent price and at 1854cc (1900) they rock. Rented a V-45 magna in Thailand for a day and no bottom end torque like a big v-twin.

I had a 2012 phantom. Great comfortable bike, but it tops out at 88mph and take a long time to get there. Passing someone who's doing 70+ is a bit of an effort. The bike is best suited for roads marked for 65 or less. It's a great City and back road bike for sure.I sold it a year after I bought it and moved up to the Honda Fury, which I've had for the last 5 years, also a great bike for everything, and now I'm upgrading to the Valkyrie.

i have a 98 honda shadow ace 750 and do not like the what i call the bullhorn bars they were on the bike when i got her last summer its the red morone and cream colored one i mean it runs great and am planning a trip out west next summer did subcribe to your channel great info thanks

The guy at the on ramp absolutely had his light on...

so I think I can say it is. I am 330lbs 6' 5" and got my 09 aero up to 105 downhill. it's small/slow but bulletproof. 5700 miles on the odometer got it at 3100 miles.

had a 2006 honda shadow aero 750, my first bike and i loved it, had the carb rebuilt, with that being done both cylinders were firing off properly, before that, it was working with one cyl. and it went about 55 to 60 but after that it would fail to go faster

I’ve seen Jonah it’s one of the best plays they have also recommend Moses

Should I get a Honda Shadow for a beginner bike? I really want a motorcycle and I dont know which one to get.

Yup That Bike is a nice Cruiser, and like all Honda’s it starts every single time, quality and dependability says a lot about any manufactured product!

I hope it can cruise ok at 65. Unfortunately, many speed limited are 80 on the highway….wish we could see you cruise at that speed.

I’ve ridden highway comfortably with my 250gz 😂 anyone could tell ya a 750 would keep up with traffuc

Awesome ride 💙💙👍

My old vstar 650 carried me for years. I'm sure this will be just fine! I'm 5"11 and 250 pounds!

I put 100,000 miles on a 1998 Honda shadow ACE over 10 years with 2 trips to sturgis South Dakota from AZ. Loved the bike

I own an "05)" Honda 750 (blacked out and chrome) Spirit . I've built a 2 -1/2 Sissy bar for it 😀

What about the 800? I'm 265lbs and need to commute on freeway. Would it do 70-85 without bieng wot/screaming? I can't find any speed specs on it anywhere

i have chance of getting an 03 honda shadow with 7000 miles. Im 6ft3 and need a bike for my commute. Traffic comes to a halt when I go back to my normal schedule.

Sounds sweet mate

I have a 2007 Honda rebel 250. I'm 5'7 and about 200 pounds. I find it hard to do more than 65 on the bike. It's only got 8000 miles on it. Don't get me wrong. I love the bike. It looks good. Sounds good. And rides good. But I can't get on the highway with it because I can't keep up with right lane traffic. Really wanting an ace 750 bad.

In 1970 my 650 BSA was a great highway cruiser. At one point I went on a three month tour! I rode with a friend on a 650 Triumph. If there is a question about modern 750 motorcycles, they must not be designed very well.

I have the VT1100 2007 Spirit shaft drive, I love it

Before buying my Harley, I rode a 2003 Honda shadow ACE 750 for 14 years. I cruised everywhere on every highway imaginable. At 6’2” 250 lbs, I had more than enough power to cruise and pass traffic.

I'm looking for a beginner bike, and I really like the Shadow
