Hey Guys thanks for watching, Please forgive the poor audio Quality. We screwed that one up

the thing about japanese companies that tried to sell in the american market is they never tried to sell by saying we are better than the americans, they just said, "hey look, look how american we are!" and i love that

That was my bike! I miss her already I hope she went to a good home! So glad you did a video on her

$2,500? I would buy it just to put it in my living room. Beautiful thing.

My first (and current) bike is a Shadow VLX Deluxe and it's the PERFECT beginner bike. I've gotten so much more confident on it and will be ready to upgrade soon, but I'll always love the Shadow. It's also got a special place in my heart because I live in Marysville, Ohio and my bike was built just down the road from me. My mom also worked at the factory and put the side covers on it when it was built!

I had one of these. I put 108,000 miles on my 97 I bought new in 98. Zero repairs and minimal maintenance I feel I really got my money’s worth. It still looked new when I traded it in on a VTX 1800. I’m really enjoying my ST1300 now but looking for an 18 and up Goldwing to take into retirement but I believe I will always remember that ACE as my favorite.

Now I want to go riding..

Just bought one of these today. 7k mile from an 80 year old gentleman in Southern California. Looks like it just left the showroom. I’m super excited. Thanks for posting!

I used to work for a full line Honda dealer as a mechanic. I bought one brand new and set it in 97 as a non current still the crate. My ACE just had black wall tires and was the magenta and frost white color scheme. I pull the factory pipes off it shortly after buying it and put Cobra Bouelvard classic fishtail on it and Dynojet kit and a K N filter on it. I was just remiencing as I found some pics of it which brought me here. Cheers from Saskatchewan, Canada

Yes... I miss the old style vids I don't care much about amazon bikes

I've owned many Motorcycles in my time including Harleys. I bought my 06 Shadow Spirit 1100 brand new and now have 50 thousand miles on it and still cant get enough of it. Only failures so far have been fuel pump at 40 thousand and voltage regulator recently. Very reliable and easy maintenance bikes. Looking to get 100+ thousand out of it. And had to tune carbs recently because of some sitting for longer periods of time. that's it.

I loved my 1998 Honda 1100 Shadow ACE. It was a beautiful bike and I put some serious miles on it. I weigh around 300 and my daughter around 180. We still cruised 90 mph when necessary. In South Florida, I-95 seems to be a speed suggestion. The bike was totaled when I was hit from behind in 2004.

I had a 2001 Shadow Ace Tourer model with the factory hard bags, one of the best bikes I've owned.

I have the Shadow 1100 Aero, 1999 model and love it. I am a big dude, and it pulls me with ease.

I don't have a bike yet, never had, but I've been drooling about the shadow for a long time, and this bike is beautiful.

I worked at the Marysville Motorcycle Plant for Honda 18 years in the welding dept. til the plant closed in June of 2009. I put many welds on these frames by hand.80% of the welds were done by hand on all the frames we built in weld including the Gold Wing and VTX 1300 and 1800. I used to own a '99 Shadow Aero 1100, one of the classiest bikes Honda ever made. If i remember correctly, the 88 Shadow VT800 had a 4 speed transmission!

The ACE at $2,500 is great value. The Shadow that replaced the ACE - the Aero 1100 - is possibly even prettier with that monstrous 2-into-1 chrome exhaust and big headlight with the integrated speedo. The two years with the single pin crank - '98 and '99 - made that thing look and sound like an instant classic.

My first bike was a shadow 600. The previous owner didn’t take care of it. I had a blast rebuilding, replacing, upgrading. Parts are everywhere. Such a great bike. I regret selling it.

I'm currently riding a '98 Shadow Ace 750 (VT750CD2) in the same paint colors. When I bought it six years ago good used Shadows were going for about $3000, and I paid a little less than that. Aside from regular maintenance it's given me no trouble at all. Last time gas was four bucks a gallon I commuted on it, and i've put a bunch of miles on. Best day so far: I rode it from Maine to Laconia and back on first day of Bike Week in 2019.

I have a 99 Honda Shadow 1100 ACE Touring. I'm the second owner and I absolutely love my "Heifer". Only ever put tires on her. Have 8" inch bars and new grips bring delivered this coming week.

I bought one of those last week and love it. You have a great channel... thanks for all of the videos. 👍

man I really appreciate you goin out in the freezing cold to make these quality videos for us. Thanks

I have a Spirit, but because it was my dad's and when he passed I had to keep it- I've always wanted the ACE version. Slowly, I'll be making changes to it to suit my taste- like passing lamps and more chrome. The two-tone ACE is gorgeous, and I have no desire at all to own a Harley.

Sir, you are a saint for getting out in this cold weather! Thank you for this video.. especially for the reading of the good word. I really appreciate it!

We bought our son a 2008 Honda Shadow - spirit I think? It had the raked front end...really a cool bike that rode SO easy - even me being a HD guy...I had to admit I liked it. Now 6 years after we got it for him, he has zero plans to trade it. He lived in Colorado and had it rejetted for altitude...then reset it back when he moved out of the mountains. He's a firefighter/EMT and it's his stress relief and he and his wife actually rode it away from their wedding. Pretty cool pics and video. I've had great luck mechanically with my HDs over the years I know...but I think all he's ever done to that bike is some rubber, oil changed, and that carb work for when he lived at 11,000 feet. The Shadow is a great line. Totally should get more love from anyone who wants to not ride HD.

I grew up in southeastern PA and those are my favorite roads. Love watching SRK videos. And yeah, it's cold there in January. You gotta go fast to keep warm.

I’m a new rider, and that’s the biggest reason I have been looking for a shadow. You see guys of all backgrounds riding them, they look awesome, and as a tall man standing at 6’ 5” sometimes it’s hard to find bikes I can fit on and not look ridiculous. But in my searches, most of the shadows I see in good to very good co diction go for about 4000 bucks in my area, so it won’t break the bank. Love em

I have a 1996 I bought from under a tree in a yard. It sat for 3 years there. Rebuilt the carbs and new fluids and rubber, I've been driving it flawlessly for 3 years now. I love it totally. Oh, I paid 500 for it and put in probably another 600 and it's worth every dime. I love my American Classic Shadow 1100

Great video on a great bike. I ride a 97 1100 ace . Keep them coming Shawn God bless.

I have the spirit 750 . I ride the he'll out of it. Went from NH to Western North Carolina in about 20 hours on it last spring . What a runner . I'll never sell it.

I just got me a 1998 Honda Shadow Ace and love it. Its 24 years old and it's a piece of history now.

Hey Sean. Because of your videos gave me alot of insight of mortorcycles. I'm 6 foot 2 and I own a yamaha vstar 650 midnight custom. Entry level. I enjoy it. Keep up awesome work of the videos.

That bike is just gorgeous in its simplicity and elegant in function.

I learned to ride on a 750 ACE. Wonderful bike.

This brings back so many memories. I had a Honda Shadow Spirit 750. I rode that thing everywhere. Seriously, I drove that thing to the moon and back. I almost put 100K miles on the bike. That was until I wrecked it. When I was stationed at Ft Hood I would ride it to Austin and back every weekend. Sometimes I would ride it to Dallas and back. One time I rode it to Big Bend National Park from Ft Hood. I loved that thing.

Real nice review and as always it's good to see an older bike in such good shape. I myself ride a classic ('88 Suzuki GSX1100F) and understand all too well riding in the cold since only a week ago did a Vancouver to Squamish run in 8 - 10 degree Celsius weather.

I had an ACE 750. It had Cobra pipes on it and sounded great! I should've never sold it.

I ride a 600 and I love it. Can't wait for the weather to warm up here Illinois

I currently drive a 2001 Honda shadow Ace as my first bike and I get so many compliments on it! I love it!

Talking the language of my channel. Honda! (Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha,Harley, OK bikes!!😂) Love you guys! Keep it up!

I've only ever saw one of these bikes at a Honda dealer here in Scotland, really like the look of them.

I have a 2006 shadow 750. Love it. It's my standby bike. Over 50k miles still purrs

I've been ridding 20 years and have ridden everything. I currently ride a 1998 Shadow Aero 1100

Nice video 😀 Thanks from the Netherlands 👍👍

Lookin back at my first bike!😇 Love the videos!

Honda really got the attention of Harley, with the ACE, and the Aero 1100. I wanted an Aero 1100, ever since they came out with them in 98. Finally got one a couple years ago, turquoise blue, and black. It was a 99, and had the single pin crank. The long two into one fishtail exhaust was slightly modified for a louder tone, and man it sounded righteous. Beautiful, reliable bike. The only place I think Honda dropped the ball on it, was giving it only 5 speeds. It's my understanding, that Harely actually sued Honda over the Aero, and the single pin crank desigin. Thanks for the great review.

I had a 2003 750 ace. It was very dependable. As soon as you started it up, the sound brought me back to mine. I ended changing to a sport tour style bike. But, I'd have kept them both if my wife would've let me. After 3 years of ownership I traded it for only 100 dollars less than I paid for it.

I had the 750 ace in the same color. Loved that little bike. Sold it to my brother in law and he is still loving it.

I sure hope the Shadow 750 will be my first bike someday. I love those bikes!

Rode one for years. Shaft drive low maintenance, but the whitewall Dunlop tires were impossible to keep clean like in the video. The single pin crank shook so much on the kickstand that it ensured you replaced the battery every 12-16 months. Sweet spot on the highway was 70mph, but would do 120 with plenty to spare. I put on a nice tuned set of Bubs pipes and rejetted the carb. I paid $6k brand new back in 1990s.

Still one of my handful of potential dream bikes to own one day. Thanks for sharing!

This makes me feel good about owning an older Honda shadow lmfaoo

Your videos are always really cool!

Cool videostyle First introduce second testride. Love it 👍. Greetings from cologne germany

Had a 2002 Honda shadow ace 750…the grey/plum colored one. Absolutely awesome bike and could ride it all day long with the Corbin seat on it (one of the OLD Corbin seats!). Only thing I wish it had was a 6th gear because it felt like it was running out of steam by 70mph. Other than that, absolute great bike that always got compliments

The Rocky III of SRK Videos... Back to Basics. Great review on an Awesome Honda. 👍 😎

For me, the best Honda motorcycle ever built would be a 1978-182 Honda CBX 1000 That’s the best bike Honda made and they have NEVER made a better or same sounding machine since this bike. Guaranteed to make you smile every ride! Super FUN! Where as this cruiser, despite its History, is just another Shadow. Message/Tag me when you get a CBX 1000 and I will drive all the way from Texas to buy it from you. -Jason

Back in 1996, I bought a bike like this brand new for $9999.00. It had a black paint job. The two-tone paint bikes were an additional $500.00. I drove this bike until 2001 and sold it. This is only the second brand new bike I ever bought. I really loved this bike. Whoever bought this bike for $2500.00, got a heck of a deal. These bikes will run forever.

That's a nice looking bike. The one change I think HD has made a mistake with is not having the larger touring models with a shaft drive. Shaft drive very reliable and no worries about belt or chain stretch or breakage.

I love these 1100 shadows, to me they are the ultimate import cruiser. The looks and performance are unparalleled. The fact that its water cooled is just a huge bonus in my opinion. Great bike I would have loved to get it for that price...God bless

I have a '97 honda shadow vt1100c spirit, owned it for a year and I absolutely love it, I'll never get rid of it!

I learned to ride on a 02 shadow ace 750. It was perfect bike to learn and get comfortable on. I rode it for three years and traded up to a heritage 114👍love this one even more

Love your channel. I'd love to see you do a Honda Ruckus video!

I own a 1988 Honda Shadow 800cc which you didn’t mention they made. Which surprised me. That 1100 is beautiful and awesome. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you. Stay safe.

That bike is beautiful! I have a VTX1800 but i like the Shadow 1100 ACE and AERO for their lighter weight, styling and general simplicity of use.

I have a 02 shadow spirit 750 that I bought brand new. Looks like a harley lowrider. It has Vance and Hines exhaust and I replaced the rear sprocket with a new one that had 1 less tooth. The bike always felt like it needed another gear before the replacement. That made all the difference. Love that bike.

I got the shadow spirit and love it. Can’t wait for it to warm up so I can ride!!

I own a 2001 Honda Shadow 1100, best bike I’ve ever owned, extremely dependable, just needs oil and tires. Love it, ride every summer all summer long.

This was my first bike - 1995 ACE 1100 -first year of that model with the single pin that gave it that sound. Two tone red and white with Dunlop white walls like this one. Thought I'd have to dodge a bunch of bullets from people all over Milwaukee for "not gettin' a Harley!" - but people actually loved that bike - just kept getting compliments on it everywhere I went. Miss the hell out of that bike now -rode it for seven years all up and down Wisconsin and never left me stranded in 40K+ miles of riding. I can still remember starting it up the first time I brought it home -and couldn't believe they got away with it sounding that much like a Harley, even with the stock exhaust. I later looked it up on my laptop and -oh yeah, they didn't:-) This was the infamous Bike Harley sued Honda over and later Kawasaki I believe. I later put the slash-cut Jardine's they made for this motor which amplified the Harley sound even more and then added cobra boards like the example in the video. Was a great bike to learn on -got excellent mileage and very nimble handling, plus a great road trip machine. Honda knocked it out of the park with this bike for sure

I love my Shadow Sabre 1100. I'm 5'5'' it was my first bike. Put the Vans n Hines pro pipe and a jet kit on it, KN Filter. Its so much more fun on my commutes. My front fender is Plastic though. Just a thick one thought it was metal until I got a deep scratch on it.

I love your chanels man, and I love that you share bible verses. I am looking into getting into motorcycles and getting my first one and you have been incredibly informative and helpful. I actually was interested in the ace and saw it on your website and I'm kicking myself for not driving up from Alabama to get it. I'll tell you this, my first bike will be purchased from you guys. Be blessed guys!

That's badass! I have a Shadow Phantom and love her!

I love the Shadow range and have owned 2 ACE 1100s. Great bikes.

Digging that vaquero in the background ,,, let's see you show that please , I'm thinking that is my next bike

Just bought my first bike a 96 Honda Shadow 1100VT and I love it perfect beginner bike for me

These bikes are bulletproof, awesome and inexpensive to operate. 👍🏻

Thanks Sean, nice bike, great condition too. Makes me miss my Virago 1100.

2007 Honda Shadow Sabre VT1100 gave $2800 love my bike powerful great ride

Hey man I absolutely LOVE this channel!! I started riding in 84 while in high school and have had mostly sport bikes over the years but I love all bikes. I bought a 1996 Honda CBR1000F a few years back for $900 that was pretty trashed but only had 12,000 miles on it, it has taken me a fee years and about $2000 to get it back to stock and running like it should. SO just wanted ask ask if you had any thoughts on my particular bike? Be safe and take care!!! 😎🙏

I''ve got a green with creme white second hand. Amazing bike! Have it since october. Great content btw on this channel.

Honda shadow ace 1100 is my first bike and truly love it!

I own the c50t, love it! You mentioned how good it was and I bought one! 2018

I've got a 94 spirit version thats all lowered n painted custom bars and seat etc etc,,, I love it..

I have a 1996 1100 ACE I have owned since new. They are amazing bikes!

Shadows are nice bikes, I had a 96 VT600C VLX as my first motorcycle and I had a lot of fun cruising around on it.

I have one of these. Im actually currently building it into a bobber. Bulletproof engine, but a weak aftermarket offering. Docile engine, very easy to learn on. Looking forward to the new Rebel 1100.

Yes, we see that full size drift trike in the background. Can't wait for that vid.

I have a 09 750 Honda Shadow Aries I love her. I've been riding her for a year no complaints

Had 1996 ACE 1100 for several years, great bike with some glaring flaws built in. The ACE was a 5 speed, single crank pin engine. Those are the pluses! The negatives were that the early models rider footpeg location was sort of mid ish control combined with the wide tank made seating position like a vertical OBGYN exam. The bikes that came without footboards still included the heel/toe shifter which was useless and the rear section catches your leg as the try to get your foot onto the peg. Most aftermarket stuff for the early bikes has long been discontinued.

back in the day I had a cb 750 custom from Japan. i am now to old to ride a bike, My fave all time bike was my klr 600. Love watching these videos. Keeping me sane through this virus! Keep em coming, I have watched for a few years and never commented. I am in the uk. thanks mate god bless and ride safe. regards Mick

I had a 2001 Honda Shadow 1100 Spirit and loved it. Ran Great and was very dependable.

Just picked up a 98’ Shadow ACE 750 with that same red/white paint scheme yesterday. Previous owner took very good care of it. Only 18k miles on it! It’s a beauty, and paid $2200. I would like to replace the pegs with some floorboards and it’ll make a sweet commute bike

I saw on your website you have a 2012 raider and a 2012 Stryker. Would love to see a comparison video of the 2 bikes , love the content. Keep making us here in landisville famous !!

Had a 2000 750. It's what I returned to street riding on after about a decade hiatus. Loved it, got rear-ended at it was totaled. I still think about that bike.

It’s not the destination it’s the journey

I've got the shadow aero 750, upgraded from my 250 last season, can't wait for spring to come around to ride

I own hondas and a Harley and can easily say Honda is my bike of choice. My VTX 1300R is simply the best . Right 1300 cc engine, right suspension, right weight and blows the doors off my Harley Road king. The Road king is a nice bike. The VLX 600, VTX 1300R and Goldwing are FANTASTIC BIKES. Yes I know, my wife doesn't think anyone should own 4 bikes either.

My first bike is a VT 125 shadow.. 125 vtwin... Love it. Been standing in my garage for years but ill probably never sell it, still start it and ride it now and then. Kinda regret making it a bobber..

I like then so much I have 2 one is a 2001 ACE Touring Black with wide whitewall tires factory stock with just under 12k. Second a 1998 VT-1100 AERO two tone maroon with wide whitewall tires with V/H exhaust and carb's jetted to speck with just under 9800 miles I love them both.

I have an 09 Shadow Aero 750 and love it. The ACE is awesome. Would consider getting one when I move to something bigger. Otherwise, audio was all over the place in the first half of the video. Don’t know what’s up, since that’s not usually a problem in your vids.
