Either bike would be a good choice. The shadow sabre like i have feels a little heavier than the spirit 1100 and a lot heavier than the vulcan but its relative(they all weigh about the same and you will only notice it till you get used to driving any new bike). The sabre will want to turn in on itself faster than the other two because of its weight but it tracks better in corners than its spirit brother. The spirit is better suited for highway riding and the sabre is more for around town cruising(although i have ridden mine for 1000 mile weekends with no problems. The sabre is faster than its brother off the line and if you crack the throttle it unloads tons of bottem end torque..it will scare the "crumb" out of you if your not ready for it..
I guess it depends on what kind of "look" in a bike your looking for..the bikes you were comparing are both really good bikes
