Need someones opinion

#1 Unread post by sarahh_00 »

I have a 1987 Honda Rebel 250 I bought last April. (I took the motorcycle safety course in Oct. 2008.) At the end of the riding season I was serously thinking about getting a Honda Shadow Spirit 750. I went to a dealer just to look around and I found one I LOVE!!!!! Very comfy and looks great!!

Now my question is.....What do you think???


Thanks for all you help!! :wink:

It sounds to me as if you're already sold on it.

The Spirit 750 is a wonderful bike.


But as the old saying goes - "You do not buy the bike. It buys you."

Take it for a ride and see how you feel.

Than buy it. :D

Good next bike, and logical next step...but yeah, if the dealer allows test rides, take it for a spin to make sure the handling suits you.

Yep! If the fit and handling works you should do it! Those are great bikes and very reliable.

It's a great bike, and a logical step up. Honda's Shadow's are the closest to bulletproof I know of this side of an Abrams. Solid purchase if you're comfortable.

If you want reliable you go with a Goldwing or a Magna... I've seen both with well over 100K on them...
