Pros: Looks great, fit & finish is top-notch, great rear braking power, typical Honda reliability.

----- Overview ----- . Honda has been a strong name in motorcycling for decades, with both ...

Pros: Style, Cost, & Reliability
Cons: Stock Seat - No Fuel Gague

Let me give a little background, I used to be a motorcycle mechanic and until the summer of 2000 I still had my original 1980 Suzuki 550L. Sweet bike but after 20 years it had to go. I had dreams of a Harley Road King but couldn't justify the $'s. I...

Pros: Beautiful bike
Cons: None at all

The first thing that I did was change the not so good seat to a Mustang seat.I put Leather lyke hard saddle bags on it and a Rifle 23" windshield up front. I love my bike! It looks and feels just like my ol' 69 Harley electra glide without all of...

Pros: looks, smoothness, reliability
Cons: lack of a fuel guage

The first time I saw this bike I was impressed by its retro looks and its long, low profile. (It's 8'4" from tip to tip!!!) And I couldn't beat the price when my brother and father just spent 3 times what I did on HDs. Granted, I'd buy a HD if i...

Pros: The power and looks are a perfect combination. The whitewalls are a visual plus.
Cons: The turning radius is long. Other than that it is a perfect bike.

I purchased a yellow and black 2000 Honda Shadow Aero from a dealership in August of 2000. I now have 2500 miles on my new machine and I enjoyed every last minute of it. the style of the bike sets it apart from all the other bikes out there, with its...

Pros: 2002 has same style, smoother motor. Water cooled. Steady at speed. Shaft drive.
Cons: It's BIG. Not as big as a VTX, but close.

The 2002 Aero has the same great styling as the older Aero's and a smoother motor to boot. Honda's reputation for quality must be a consideration for anyone looking for a long term investment of this size. Face it, when you are approaching $10,000 and up...

Pros: Classic style. Low seat. reliability. Shaft driven. Chrome.
Cons: Not much cheaper than a Sportster. No center stand. Plastic fenders.

After not being on a bike for 10 years, I was somehow subliminally drawn to the Neighborhood Honda dealer. My very first bike was a 1986 Shadow and the bike did good by me. Beemers today looked to muck like UFOs. I could not justify the cost of a Hog ...

Pros: Retro styling, reliability, low end V-Twin grunt, good value.
Cons: Ugly shaft drive housing and mirror. Too quiet an exhaust note for the rowdy crowd.

I bought a black 2002 VT1100C3 with 682 original miles last November. Paid $5,500 which is an outstanding buy considering the bike retailed with options for more than $9,000 new. It's now June and I have put over 1,400 miles on it. I hadn't ridden ...

Pros: - very comfortable
- great style
- bulletproof engine
- low maintentance

Cons: - n/a

While I've only had the bike 5 days, I've managed to put about 400 km's on and get a feel for it.... and it feels great! For perspective, I'm 5'8" tall and my last bike was a 1984 virago 750. The single pin engine does vibrate a little bit and it ...

Pros: Looks, Ride, Good Handling for this type of bike, White Walls.
Cons: Single Pin Engine: Vibration wrists/feet, Noise, poor gas mileage, handling. HIGH Depreciation, hard to sell!!

I owned this bike for two years and put about 10,000 miles on it and I think Honda makes a good product. Unique Engine: This bike attempts to duplicate the Harley-Davidson experience by using the single pin crankshaft design that Harley is so ...

Pros: Pretty and dependable
Cons: underpowered

My 98 Aero was purchased used with 7000 miles. A smooth retro bike with the Harley look without the Harley price or problems.May be slightly under powered but very smooth,little vibration and utterly dependable.
I recently added after market...

Pros: Price,looks and a great ride
Cons: no fuel gauge

When I first walked into the show room this bike stood out from all the rest and said BUY ME! I'm talking about the Honda Aero VT1100C3 the bike that has the classic looks with out the large chunk of cash coming out of your wallet. The bike has a lot of...

Pros: Looks, price, parts, accessories
Cons: None

I bought this bike instead of a HD. I love the looks, sound, ride, attention, and bolting on all the accessories. This motorcyle rides plush. If you don't like the ride, then the shocks are fully adjustable. To ride this bike is the envy of all. Every...

Pros: stylish, reliable and affordable
Cons: suspension too harsh, seat is not that comfortable, fuel tank is too small.

I wanted a reliable commuter with some style. The Shadow delivers and considering it's price around $6k new I really shouldn't complain. I purchased a light bar, rear storage rack, backrest, and saddle bags. It all amounted to about $8k, so now I can ...

Pros: Unique, classic look. Lots of power and excellent sound.
Cons: Cramped without the hiway pegs.

My 2000 Shadow Aero is certainly the best bike I have ever owned. Her name is Scarlet and she has treated my royally from minute the I bought her. More power than is required for a 6-foot 220 pound man. I'm not out to race, I just need to roll on ...
