| P_Neddie's Full Review: 2000 Honda Valkyrie Tourer |
According to others:
The brand new 125 Shadow simply does not look like a 125, principally because of the fantastic looking 90° liquid-cooled v-twin at its heart. Allied to its slick 5-speed gearbox, the Shadow will cruise with the biggest of them all and not look out of place. It goes superbly. It looks even better because it's got everything that classic cruisers are meant to have, like a tear drop fuel tank, a low, well-padded seat, and the obligatory lashings of chrome everywhere.
I say:
The 125 Shadow certainly has the look of its bigger brother, but it also has a lot of the weight. There are 250 cruisers that weigh a lot less than this. While that also helps to give it a feeling of solidity on the road, it does nothing for the performance. Although the new engine is willing enough, it struggles to propel the baby Shadow up to interesting speeds. However, I must say that this bike is nicely put together.
