| gfrey's Full Review: 1995 Honda Shadow VT600C VLX |
The Honda VLX 600 is a good, reliable piece of machinery. Perhaps the most reliable motorcycle I have owned, it justs goes and goes with minimal maintenence. MPG is from 59 to 65!!! Tire wear is minimal and tires (ME 880's) regularly go about 15,000 miles or more. This is more tire life than any other bike I have owned!. It does need a change of sprockets which is easily done at the first chain replacement. This will lower the rpm on the interstate. Don't expect to pass a lot of vehicles on the highway. I always considered 80 mph about top speed although it will do 87 mph in a pinch!
