Just picked up a 2008 in 2024 only has 15k miles on in new exhaust mini apes solid bags and it’s my first bike and I’m having a damn blast man if anyone sees this and you’re thinking about getting a bike GET ONE

I love how a 750 cc, almost 2.5m and 260kg bike is a small lightweight entry bike according to american standards

[gtags]

Have a 2004 with 60K and other than oil change and tires I've spent nothing on the bike, so dependable!

I have a hard tail 06 750 spirit, it sounds awesome straight piped. Even Harley guys compliment it. It was my first bike, I'm a smaller guy at 5'4 145lbs, so I don't think I'll ever need a bigger bike.

I've owned lots of cruisers, like yourself. Ridden plenty more. Indians, Harley's, Honda's, Suzuki's, Kawasakis.
The 750 shadow is the absolute epitome of a cruiser I think. Something about it, it's just right.

I just picked up a 2004 Honda Shadow 750 this week for $650! Just a little over 3, 000 miles on the bike and everything on this bike is factory. Previous owner left it sitting for 10 years. This week I took the bike on a four-hour ride and it ran like a champ!!! Well worth the money.

The Shadow my third bike and my first new bike I bought. I have traveled between Victoria, BC to Edmonton, Alberta (X3), and all over Washington State, USA numerous times. It does have plenty of power and handles HIGHWAYs and backroads, takes the counters with ease.

Hello family ! I am 53, a 20 year re-entry rider after owning over half a dozen street bikes all inspired by MAD MAX, and Honda Interceptors. I was in my 20's then, and now in my 50's I have arthritis in my left knee. It's bone on bone and I was dreaming of owning a Vulcan 900, but it was too big for me at a stop light. The Honda Shadow Spirit 750 is low. I am 6' tall and it feels SO comfortable. I just bought one YESTERDAY ! Yes ! Yesterday for the first time in over 20 years. I got as far as my driveway and chickened out. I need a riding partner for my re-maiden voyage. I feel so much conflict, yet it felt SO natural. I'm just afraid of stop lights, although the previous owners had the entire church pray for me.

Once upon a time, 750 was big. 500 was enough.

[joeredden]

I just got a 2007 shadow 750 today and and I love it. Has all the power I need.

I know this is old video, but was very helpful in confirming my decision on this bike. Grew up on bikes, road one everywhere, day or night, nice or raining weather. Had a bad accident that pit me in crutches for almost 2 years. 20 + years later went to get back on. Did not want to be "wanting" more, but do not want a tank either. The shadow seemed to fit my wants, (no more sport bikes too) never really been a cruiser guy so was unsure if a 750 cruiser. 750 sport bikes had good power to size but no experience with cruisers in this size. And always been a Honda fan, though have owned all four Japanese makes. Hey, I'm half Japanese, what can I say. But am all American beef. Though I have given the Harley sport 750 a look, and suzuki boulevard c50, but shadow I think wins out. Thank you much. I did buy a couple dirt bikes when I healed, so I have been on bikes since, did have a gs500 but was too small. But now its 20+ years later still want more then a 500 but not to much either.

I totally agree. I just sold my Honda Shadow Ace 750 and upgraded to a VTX 1800 C. I rode the shadow for 4 years and loved it. I must admit though after a while it does start to feel underpowered. The best mod I did to my shadow is switch down to a 38 tooth sprocket and did the four degree mod. The problem with the shadow is that after about 5500 RPMs the Power Band drops Like a Stone. I used to have trouble keeping up with my buddies who mostly ride 1500s. After I got my VTX my body's only see my tail lights haha

I've owned 10 bikes in the last 17 years. My VT750 Aero was a great bike. Sure it's not blazing fast, not the most torque. But it is nigh bullet proof, it's fun, unassumimg and surprisingly good through twisty stuff (did scrape a lot lol) they are a much under rated bike.

[charlesevans]

I'm the one that bought this bike got to ride it the other day and I'm happy with it nice bike. would I buy a nother one from SRK if they had one I was interested YES I would. everything went gust Like they said it would. thank you!

[obiwankenobi]

So just to be clear everybody is fine correct?

[mightyminifarm]

Listening to you rattle off the current events in 2017 made me lol just wait till 2020, we got the corona and it’s so much fun

We lost our home and everything in it in that storm. The God we serve came through in epic fashion. Today we have 3 homes. Your worst day can easily be the start of your best day. God Is Good. All the time.

[mrvwbug]

The irony is that "little" 750 Shadow might have comparable power to weight to a lot of the twin cam Harleys given how much lighter it is. Also a great sounding motor, those 750 Shadows are great bikes, plenty of power but manageable enough for a new rider and absolutely rock solid reliable and cheap to maintain.

Here I am 7 years after this video, with 2 hurricanes, potentially 3.

Had to check that this video wasn’t recent with you talking about the 2 hurricanes 7 years ago.
