I have been riding since the 1970's. Now I am a Disabled American Veteran, I can no longer handle my 1980 Honda GL1100 Interstate, fully dressed out bike. I bought a 2004 Honda Shadow Aero VT750C, it is much easier to handle for me, and the American Legion Riders require a 750 or larger bike. This bike is perfect, for me & my wife to ride!

As a 400+lb man who is also 6'3, who currently rides a 2007 Shadow Aero 750... yeah, I was surprised at how well that bike does. I have no complaints. I certainly want to upgrade to a bigger bike, but considering I had pretty much no riding experience before, this was the perfect "starter bike" for me. I've had it for about 2 years, put 5,000 miles on it. Very happy with it.

I’m right around 330lbs myself, my big concern was getting a bike that didn’t look like it was up my arse but was also under the 800cc insurance hike we have here. Looks like a shadow 750 is the one.

@joemann7971 4 жыл бұрын

@@MrAceofspades327 I was almost considering getting a bigger bike as my first bike, but since I'm also a beginner (and I'm also around 330 lbs), I was convinced from this video that the Shadow 750 was more than big enough to start off. I absolutely love the bike. I got a killer deal on a 2019 from a dealership my wife works with. I walked out the door with under $10K total for gear, (helmet with bluetooth/communicator, jacket, gloves), the bike, extended warranty, gap insurance, and that was all including taxes. The bike literally had 0 miles on it. I am pumped about this bike. I was originally wanted an indian scout, which has more than double the power of the Shadow, but considering that it costs almost twice as much, I think I made the right choice. Plus, my wife also wants to learn to ride. So, she could probably take over this bike when I outgrow it.

I live in Germany where I'm able to ride 160 km/h (100mph) on a highway with my Shadow Aero 2014. The seat is very comfortable. It's a great shaft driven bike. It has enough torque and power to ride 50 km/h in the very final gear at 1500 rpm, which is nice. I have no desire revving high the engine and no one is in my way. Honda Germany has equipped this particular motorcycle with sissy bar, top case, two bags, alarm system, navigation, ABS+CBS, fuel injection, catalytic converter, windshield, and so on. I have no need to swing my leg over any other motorcycle anymore :-) PS. My GPS remembers the last fastest route. It shows up in the left down corner. I was 164 km/h quick just yesterday. You can see it for yourself on my youtube channel.

@longjohnnyvee4857 6 жыл бұрын

In 1981, I traveled Chicago to east coast to gulf coast to west coast back to Chicago on a 1969 Honda 450 Twin. I was 6'1" and only about 190lbs in those days. I could cruise at around 75, once the Harley FX full fairing I had installed settled into a position where it wouldn't cause steering shimmy. Going through the salt flats I opened her up and topped out at about 95mph . That bike was rated at about 45 hp factory fresh, and it was well into middle age when I rode it cross country, loaded with my camping gear. The idea that we "need" massive horsepower to go on the highway is just wrong. How much over the speed limit do we "need" to travel? There's not many people purchasing even the smallest cars with the idea that they need to be able to get up to 100 mph in order to safely pass a semi truck
