Great condition Honda Shadow 750cc Spirit. Just under 30K miles. I have gone and bought myself something bigger so it’s time for this beauty to go to someone else. This bike is light, loud and easy to handle. Shaft Drive and very low maintenance. It has been a great first bike. New tires last year and new battery this year. I have the title. It is also set up for a battery charger. No test rides without cash. Show less

Had since 2015 .Great looking bike-New black paint and alot of chrome. 50,000 miles on it. Just rode 1600 miles round trip six days last june. Very dependable. Great performance. Always getting compliments. I left the Honda emblem off the tank to create some mystery. Sometimes i miss the sound of my Harley exhaust but i love the dependability of the Honda. Show less

Man have I been missing out. I have truly owned over a 100 motorcycles. I just purchased a very clean low miles Shadow Spirit 1100. This bike is awesome, rides nice plenty power, both feet on the ground. Handles great, surprisingly Nimble for a cruiser. Feels lighter than it it is. And yes it’s shaft drive. I’m a happy rider again. Hey everybody go get one while you can! Show less

I bought this bike end of June 2014 with 8660 kms. It now has 123,000 kms and still has original brakes and clutch. No major repairs, great torque and handles beautifully. I love this bike! I recently bought a 2001 Kawasaki Voyager xii, which I also love, but have no plans to ever sell my Honda. Show less

I've owned my 2009 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 for two years and love it. It's a very comfortable ride, has decent power and has been very reliable. I've added a few "extras" to make it even better. I would definitely it purchase again if I had to do it all over. Show less

I last posted in 2011 and have had the bike for two years now. I now have almost 42k on the ole Honda Shadow Spirit 750DC. It has been a good, reliable bike. Pros to this bike are many. Cons are chain drive (buy a good chain and that will help) and tube tires. Mpg. averages around 50. Show less

I have owned a couple of other bikes and was actually in search of a Harley but found the prices to be too high. I found this bike and it was in great shape with a couple of add ons. The price was fair and the bike has turned out to be excellent. It sounds great with the Vance & Hines pipes and rides well. I'm very pleased with the Honda line. Show less

Taller riders would do well to install a control relocation kit. Sadly, at the time of this review, none really exist for this model. Otherwise, this is an excellent bike. It feels light and agile, and is quite responsive to a twist of the throttle. Show less

I bought my bike new in the spring of 2001 and have put all but about 50 of the 82.6K miles on it. I have left it basically stock except for functional modifications. Stock pipes and carb jets, handlebars, etc. - all I can say for this bike is it is reliable as in all these years I have had to perform very few repairs. I replaced the plugs at 39K (checked at 49 and 82 and they still looked as good as new so I left them in), Stator at 39K, kill switch at 40k, diaphragms in the carbs at 60k. There was one front fork seal leaking at 70K. All together it cost less that $650 in these 11 yrs. The ride is great. I added a driver's backrest and although usually at about 100-130 miles I get a ache in my shoulders. I have the same problem no matter what I ride, including a Yamaha Venture I used to have. Riding with my wife is no problem as it has enough power for 2 up as well. It handles good and is very stable. I've done 400 miles a day on it and that's about all I want but know guys who can do more comfortably. I tried a Mustang Classic seat but it didn't agree with me so I went back to a stock one. It will cruise backroads at 40-50 mph. all day and hit the interstate at 75-85 just as well. It does lack a little in torque but once you learn to downshift and use 5th gear basically over 60-65, it's fine. Barring any major problems I am looking at over 100K on this bike as to be honest I haven't ridden anything I like better yet in its class. Show less
