Honda Shadow 2006 VT750C
Pros: Honda's lengendary reliability, a real head turner, low centre of gravity, easy to ride, smooth transmission, shaft-drive --wow.
Cons: the stock seat not the best on long rides. I added air-hawk cushions.
This was my "back in the saddle" bike after a 25year gap and I couldn't recommend a better one to start with. I love everything about this bike (except the seat). I put on Jardine slash cut pipes and OH what a sweet sound. I will miss that sound when I upgrade shortly to a sports-tourer. I always planned to use this as my stepping stone to a bigger bike and if I could afford to, I would keep it and if I did I would add a touring screen.
