I owned a vt125 shadow in 2009.
I loved that bike and went to bike rally's and long distance trips in the UK.
I sold it go get a bigger bike.
I have had 4 different Honda Shadow 750 models and the 125 is the best!
I did 10000 miles in my first year and sold her.
The bike is engineered to last forever.
It's beautiful to look at.
It's cheap to run and repair.
It's a very easy to learn mechanics on.
The suspension is and seat is comfortable.
The only negative I can say about this bike, is it's a 125. If this was a 250cc Vtwin engine and shaft drive, I would think it the best bike for me.
It will cruise at 65mph all day long.
My wife has a vt125 shadow also.
I still ride her and everytime I'm amazed how enjoyable it is.
We have done two trips from London around France for a total of 6 weeks (Brittany and Loire)
My wife took her honda shadow 125 and it has been great. One of the trips I was in my vt750 shadow and we swapped bikes for 5 minute's and her bike was more comfortable and so mut lighter and easier to handle.
You won't regret buying one.
In fact i will probably buy one for myself if she gets sick of me using hers!
