Pros: Great looks, lots of customizing, reliable as any Honda, great riding bike.

Summary: I've had my 00 Shadow ACE for 2 years now, I love it still. It is a great bike and there's no doubt that it isn't a great working bike. Although it lacks power 100+kph, it will do 175kph! (been there, done that). I haven't found anything wrong with this ... read more

Pros: Affordable, classic styling and reliable
Cons: Weak clutch.
Summary: When I first saw the bike I thought, "if it feels half as good as it looks, I'd be crazy not to buy it". I needed a bike to commute on but I spent way more miles just having fun rather than going to work. I picked up a corbin seat with a removeable ... read more
