Don't know anything about how well it rides - but it looks good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3OLleZOHUw

A guy who commuted to Boeing on the same ferry I did, had one....

Yes, a pretty looking bike ( is that a good thing for a dude to ride....a pretty thing Undecided

)

As which always seemed to be the case, with our jap thumper, no respect....

I don't care how long their noses were, they could easily look down them to our bike Grin

He taunted me one too many times off the line....

I bit.

I blew his fat little slug bike to sheet.

Understand, I don't go fast....its not my nature.
Heck, I take a novel with me to poop.

It felt good, this one time.
He never did it again.

Yes, its a pretty bike, ours is ugly, like a chick with a hot bikini body, but when she smiles, she is missing her front teeth....

I don't know what that means, sorry Huh

So....I guess it is a typical V-Twin cruiser kind of a bike........I expect more from Honda - with a smooth engine and 1.5 times the HP it could have been a Sportster killer.

My neighbor has a Shadow, an older one from the late 90s. It's pretty dependable according to him. So it's got that going for it.

It almost looks like Honda tried to copy a peanut tank which looks good on a bobber but doesn't fit the light cruiser they have it on. I'm with Bot on that airbox, way too much.
