This is an '87 bike, 20 years old, 750cc WTF is the point in more for motorways, larger displacement just means more torque for accelerating at traffic light challenge
, the FZ had enough of that. Why would I need anything larger?

If you happen to find an "unwanted" 675 over there... and it somehow found its "way" onto a cargo container being shipped to the coast of Texas... I promise I'd find her a good home

Tell me, would a honda shadow 750 be a good bike to travel with ?? Like going to the shore (about 60mi, or the mountains about 110mi.) I'm a new rider and i'm considering purchasing such a bike... Too small to travel with?? Thanks
