Brillant video. Love the commentary. Just bought this bike for my other half and it has the same V&H pipes (yeah after market) I read the comments and I agree, new pads on the brakes make all the difference. Awesome first bike!

Ohhhh that exhaust sound! Sounds the part, looks the part. Classic Honda. As a sportbike rider it actually looks like fun! I've built up enough skill to see myself being able to competently handle a cruiser. My body is ready for the couchboat

Man, this looks so incredibly similar to the VT750. I'd love to try one of these to see how they compare. I love riding my VT750, but it is about that total cruiser mindset. You just rip it sometimes and other times, you just sit back and relax. Shadows carry their weight VERY low compared to other bikes, so they don't feel like they are going to tip.

I ride a suzuki inazuma 250 with one exhaust on each side and weighing atleast 12 kilos each, the bike feels so bloody heavy!. This bike is freakin heavy. And every time I jumped on an 1100 triumph Bonneville because I like to sit on this things at the bike shop lol, it felt like a feather lol. So I can't wait to get my own cruiser :D.

Put some quality sintered brake pads in that puppy and she will stop just fine Honda just use standard el cheapo pads change em lickety split you will definately feel more strength and confidence in the brakes. my shadow stops great its no sports bike but it sure is cool also because your used to your sport bike brakes your comparing them with the sport bike feel. Your comparing the shadow to your sports bike because that's what you own and have experience riding and lets face it, it does nothing like a sports bike cruiser baby CRUISER. Even this baby shadow sounds fantastic with the pipes it has on, these bikes are real sleepers guys they slip on under the radar without anyone noticing how bloody good they are. Take it form me I been riding all forms of motorcycles for 35plus years these cruisers are the bomb. love the vid you didn't rag the bike just enjoyed it.

Was you by chance using the rear brakes with the front, that is how these bikes stop better, and it works on standard & sports bikes as well, it can help cornering in sharp corners, if you haven't been riding like that it really comes in handy, it can keep you upright on slick areas better & rocks roads as well. It's good to ride all the type one can.. yl

That makes sense, less weight to stop as well. I've been thinking of buying one of these bikes, or the X model seeing I ride so much, and they are cheap to buy if you get a year old one, they are on sale $4,550.00 US + tax & tiles fees, so not bad in my little book. lol

Is my option on (honda) cool or in need to chose another bike?? Thank you and sorry for my english

Been riding the shadow 400 for a few months now and it’s a top bike very comfortable but gutless going uphill needs to go down a gear to get up there but apart from that I’m so happy with it my upgrade will be the 750 same bike and same motor just the sleeves in the cylinder walls are the only difference in size from 400 to 750

I ride a VLX400 for 5 years now 80-120kph is the happy spot for the engine higher than that the engine would be screaming Steep Climbs..it's a 400cc V-Twin on a Wide Ratio Box you would be downshifting very soon if you would compare it to a car it feels like a 90's Corolla with a 1.6L engine & 4/AT with soft suspension
