That'll be a slightly different riding experience to the mental scream if you wanna go faster Yam.
The neighbour that had an 08 750 Shadow really liked it, and did often commute into the city on it too. I think if it was really shit weather he wouldn't bother though as he'd have had to work overtime to pay for his monthly supplies of Autosol then.
Funny thing thinking about it, as at my end of the street all we've ever had is scooters, cruisers and 125's. At the other end of the street is where the people with proper and serious bikes live RSVR's and D675's mainly. |

Yep I'm just a slight fellow so hope I can pick it up of the stand. I haven't seen the bike as it's coming from London'ish area.
Glad it's going to be a different riding experience, sport bikes are well made for the track but road riding is not the greatest really....hopefully.
Chrome is an issue I wouldn't have bothered with if I had the money. A new Indian would be in order! Unfortunately I'm going to have to bribe my nephew to get out his toothbrush.
The bike I have loved most is my old Shadow 125, my first bike.
What do you ride Stevo? I promise not to judge you |

Your right I need a new bike, by bestie since 2008 was a ride on a DRZ 400. Had nothing with over 40bhp for 10years!
But none of your RC/ Duke proper bike talk. Going orange is just one example of the kind of bike I'd buy new, as I don't want a proper adults real road bike. Im still an immature little kid that wants a Super Retard 250-450cc bike.
Realistically all I'm ever going to do is squirt it down the local back lanes on sunny evenings for an hour and then padlock it back down in my garage after. I just havnt got any real mainstream bike riding interest anymore or feel the need to explore, commute, or tour. A big proper capable bike would probably come out once a year at best if I decided to do something really interesting like tour the Highlands, or France/Spain or a trip to the TT etc.
Enjoy the Shadow, just try not to dazzle anyone on the road except the ladies with all that chrome. |

They do one in the good ol US of A, it's called the Phantom and it's all satin black with chrome exhausts........looks pretty good.
I'll bite Struan, I like your Shadow, it's well proportioned and I think the saddle bags and sissy bar set it off well.
The Japs have been trying to do cruisers/customs for nearly 40 years and they so often get it completely wrong, that looks like one of the better ones.
Still can't get my head round single front discs on bikes of this size though, they may be up to the job, but for symmetry and ultimate performance reasons, I would rather they put on slightly smaller double discs. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

First I apologise for my fowl mouthed words that were above before I deleted it. (Really must not type when drunk).
My R6 will be gone early next week, ended up just trading it in. The dealer that I bought the Shadow from they gave me what I think as an acceptable price. No doubt the dealer will sell her at over £2k. Anyway someone will be getting a good old bike.
Looking forward to spamming this page with Shadow shots quite shortly. |
