Pros: Nice looking bike, lots of chrome, reasonably fun to ride, classic styling, inexpensive.
Cons: Underpowered, buzzy, chain drive, legs billow out, too much plastic.
Summary: I bought my father a 2002 Ace 750 for father's day in 2002, just in time for the Honda Hoot. He put me through college, after all. I'm not the primary rider, but I do give it a whirl occasionally. This review is written both on my impressions of the ... read more

Summary: After doing a significant amount of research into entry-level bikes, I purchased a 2003 Shadow 750 ACE a few months ago. I considered a few bikes, namely the Kawi V-star Classic, the Shadow 1100 ACE, and a Harley Sportster. My budget was in ... read more

Pros: Handling, reliability, power, style, liquid cooled engine
Cons: back-seat comfort, power when carrying passenger, both brakes should have been upgraded to dual discs.
Summary: I have had this bike for 6 years now and I still love it. I was a new rider when I bought this brand new and have never been bored with it. It was a great deal at $6299 when you compare it to the lower/mid level Harley's. The power and handling are ... read more

Pros: Reliable, fun to ride, easy to handle, comfortable for short trips, good beginner bike
Cons: Lack of power on highway
Summary: This was my first bike and it definitely was a good and reliable bike out the gate. I am 6'3 about 250lbs and it carried me around with no problems, and was comfortable to ride on. I never really took it on real long rides, meaning no rides over 50 ... read more

Pros: This bike is sharp, clean, sleek, and sexy looking. Light weight, easy to ride.
Cons: The bike is underpowered, uncomfortable for taller, and heavier riders after about 45 minutes.
Summary: This bike is a very clean bike. The cutting corners using the chromed plastics isn't worth the efforts in the long run. The pegs should be placed either farther forward, or more underneith the rider in order to maintain a constant comfortable ride. ... read more

Pros: Styling, reliability
Cons: Underpowered, maintenance schedule, chain final drive.
Summary: When this bike was first released, I was amazed on how much it looks like a Harley. I get many people who see the bike for the first time, and are astonished to find that it's a Honda. As I write this review, I find that my feelings on the bike are ... read more

Cons: haven't found any yet
Summary: So o.k. I've only had my Shadow for 3 days however in that time I've put about 200 miles on it. I have ridden for about 4 years, started with a Suzuki and in March purchased a Yamaha 750 that had barely been ridden. I really wanted a Honda but since I ... read more

Pros: Classic lines, good MPG, excellent reliability, comfort & value
Cons: rear drum brake
Summary: I bought my ACE in April and I think I made a wise decision for a number of reasons. After growing up on rice-burners (GSXR 750 & Ninja 900) with unbelievable speed and handling capabilities, I had to give them up when I got married and had a daughter. ... read more

Pros: Gorgeous, reliable, fun, and all around a great bike
Cons: No matter what the price point, chromed plastic is not cool.
Summary: own a 2002 ACE 750. These bikes were first produced in 1998 and have only undergone minor changes since then. The only notable differences is the location of the speedometer. On the pre-2000 models it was located forward of the handle bar, after that it ... read more

Pros: Disgustingly Beautiful, Inexpensive, Reliable.
Cons: Underpowered, Seat is uncomfortable, Left side needs chrome.
Summary: I have a sexy black on chrome 2001 ace (which is exactly the same as an 02'). It is such a pretty bike. People on the sreet compliment my bike all the time. It has been mistaken for a 1953 Harley-Davidson Panhead. It is literally a rolling comercial for ... read more

Summary: This is one beautiful motorcycle. Mine is red and black. It looks and performs great. A definite head turner. I always get looks while cruising through town or just getting gas. A lot of people think it's a Harley because of the classic retro look but ... read more

Pros: Stunner!
Cons: Hard seat.
Summary: This is the first review for the 2002 on epinions. Although this bike has been in production for 5 or 6 years, all reviews have been stuck in the 2000 block. I suppose that’s just fine because I can’t find any difference between the year models. The only ... read more

Pros: Solid performance and fat bike feel and economical.
Cons: Chain drive maintenance and cleaning required.
Summary: The Honda ACE line is one of the fattest medium sized bikes on the market. It is only a 750, but sits like a 1200 or 1400 sized motorcycle in many respects. It handles with the ease of a small lighter bike, but present the image and style of its much
