I bought a VT1100 Shadow last weekend. I reeeally like it. I can't believe how much more comfortable it is than my Ninja was.

good lookin bike. got some "pick me up?'" have you opened it up yet?

**nitrox28** · 07-07-2006, 09:32 PM

More TQ than my ZX-7RR had actually! Not alot of power when you crack the throttle in 4th and 5th gear though. It gets the job done.

Nice bike. I rode a Shadow 750 before I went to Harleys! Loved that bike. I ride a Vrod nightrod now.

Lol. Unfortunately I never got into music (other than listening). Though I have a few talents - guitars/music is not one of them.

can you ride 2 up , on the VROD ...dont look like to much room back there ..

**310stanger** · 07-08-2006, 11:21 AM

ha its a harley that wont leak oil. sweet looking bike, being that its a honda you should enjoy many trouble free miles. it should have a butt load more torque then the zx7rr but i would imagine not anywhere near the top end rush.

You can, but its certainly not very comfortable.

Not sure if you were referring to the shadow (calling it a Harley that wont leak oil). The import cruisers are tending to copy the styling of the Harleys more and more, but I have to say - Harley Davidson is starting to copy the import manufacturers as well when it comes to reliability, tolerances and build quality. Neither of the 2 Harleys (04 Sporty and 06 VRod) I have owned ever leaked a single drop of oil. The stereotypes of Harleys may have been valid on the older bikes, but not the newer ones.

It's a 1997 with 16,000 miles and I paid $2500. My County Clerk said retail was $4100 so I might sell it for $3000 this fall. My friends and I just got back form a 100 mile ride. No problems at all.

How does 2 up work with your bike ... It does look all tucked up good , I can see it leaning well in a turn ..
