Honda Shadow description

 My loss is your gain...

I bought this new in 2012 and got one good ride out of it before I was in a pretty severe car accident (unrelated to the bike) that has left me with lasting back pain that has made it impossible for me to ride anymore. I had hope for years that I'd be able to get back on the road on this bike, but it just isn't going to happen.

So the bike has sat in my shed, started up regularly but un-ridden. It only has 132 miles on it, mechanically it is basically brand new. It does have some light surface oxidation / rust on the pipes, fork covers and a few bolts but this is easily cleanable. My shed is unfortunately not climate controlled so it had access to some moisture over the years. All else is in pretty pristine shape. The bike has never been down, there is no damage, all electronics work and it starts right up every time.

It comes with both the stock seat and the Mustang Wide Touring Two-Piece Vintage Seats that I added (Manufacturer Site). Currently only the Rider seat is installed but the passenger seat does come with the bike as well. This seat is far more comfortable than the stock and makes riding this bike a far more enjoyable affair. Even with the aftermarket seat, the seat height on this bike remains one of the lowest on the market so it should be comfortable and manageable for riders of just about any size.

The stock flat black paint is beautiful. The stock foot forward low slung riding position is extremely comfortable. The bike is powerful enough to not leave you want while still being plenty manageable for newer riders. I especially recommend this bike to shorter riders such as myself.

It is being sold as is with no warranty offered or implied. But as you can see from the photos and below video, it's good to go. The title is clear and it's ready to go to a new home. Buyer is responsible for any shipping arrangements/fees. Full payment required within 7 days of Auction End. This bike is for sale locally so I reserve the right to close the auction early.

Below is a video of the bike starting and running.

Postie Bike Challenge [video]

Fri, 19 Jun 2009

The Postie Bike Challenge started in 2002 as a one-off event in Brisbane, Australia to prove that small bikes can travel long distances over both asphalt, dirt, sand, or stony surfaces has turned into a 10-day charity event.  The entry fee is $4,000 but almost everything is taken care of, including: Late model Honda CT110 Postie bike (registered to you!) All breakfasts, lunches and dinners All fuel for the trip One way air ticket back to Brisbane Support truck to carry equipment, clothing bag and mechanics Final celebration dinner and hotel accommodation That’s right, you can keep the Honda CT110 Postie bike (designed for commercial and agricultural, also used by Australia Post) but the concept is to give the bike to charity in your name after the event is over, its up to you but more than 90% of the participants do give the bike back. Hit the jump to see the video and for more info on this years trek. The 2009 Postie Bike Challenge will take place from October 3rd to the 13th and will go from Brisbane to Melbourne, the destination changes every year.  The route taken will be about 2,000 miles (the direct route is about 1,000 miles).  If your interested, get your entry form and deposit in ASAP, last years event was sold out.

Honda CTX1300 Spotted During Film Shoot

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

Last month, we were one of the first to report on these leaked documents listing several upcoming Honda models, including one CTX1300. These images of the Honda CTX1300 were taken during the bike’s promotional filming on a motorcycle that looks to be production-ready. With a body style closely resembling that of the smaller displacement CTX700, the major, and most obvious, difference with the 1300 is the larger, 1261cc engine, believed to be sourced from Honda’s sport-touring stalwart, the ST1300.

VFR800F Coming to US as 2014 Honda Interceptor

Tue, 04 Feb 2014

We’ll admit, we weren’t confident Honda would import the VFR800F to these shores when it was first announced at last fall’s EICMA show in Milan. As such, we are pleased to report American Honda is bringing back the V-4 sport-tourer to the U.S. market as the Honda Interceptor.
