It is a Shadow and got laid down on the right side.

I ended up with a new 2007 Honda Shadow VLX600. Got it from a local dealer for a pretty good deal.

Thanks for the help!

Is this a good ...

What do you think?

Hi All!

I took the MSF course & got my licence in November. My friend lent me her Honda Rebel 250 to start out but due to living in Wisconsin & family obligations, I have only put on about 150 miles. Now its summer & I am ready (I think), she needs the bike back for her daughter.

Husband has 1985 ...
