Just rewatching these old videos and man..love the sound of those pipes! :)

[@TheFelker]

Love my 2010 RS as my first bike, I have Cobra pipes on mine as well. The biggest knock on it is that factory Honda seat is very uncomfortable on long rides.

[@toothpasteman313]

I'm about to get my first bike. It's a 2007 Honda Shadow 600 VLX Deluxe. Found it gathering dust in the warehouse of a local dealership near my work, and it only has 600 miles on it. It needs a new carb, but other than that it's perfect. So once it's done going through service and getting fixed up, I'm taking it. Just wanted to talk about it since I've been watching your videos for a while and it's always nice to see your informative opinion on bikes, especially the types similar to ones I plan to get. Keep it up!

[@25Soupy]

RS = Retro Standard

[@oldschooltakeo]

Great quality video, good review, I decided to get this bike. Thanks for the great review.

[@Srkcycles]

thank you, and thanks for watching

[@monkeydude3987]

5:50, banging through the gears is music to my ears :)

[@The77Game]

0:37 turns the key 0:40 asks where the key is at.

[@boomerguy9935]

Retro (vintage style) Standard (upright "sit-up-and-beg" position) - both of which are perfect in my world. My back is much more comfortable because I don't slouch and my handling is much more comfortable because my weight is more forward, like snow skiing. I currently have a feet-forward Honda Shadow and it will be replaced by the VT750 RS. Love it!!!!!

[@OneTreeHill0930]

I almost bought a newer Honda shadow rs it was just like 2-3 hours from where I lived. I ended up getting a Vulcan 900 custom but the RS shadow was beautiful. Lots of chrome and was red, white, and blue.

[@LimonLaPuta]

you really got yourself the wrong bike dude

[@bobbymercier7113]

Just got mine 2020 with 8800 for 2200 dollars. All my buddies are jealous they have Suzuki savages and older honda CBS and they love my bike...its pearl white and the tank was custom decaled with the old school honda lettering from like the trail bikes...awesome ride highly recommend this bike to someone who just likes to cruise about 35 to 60 perfect.

[@roguesquadron521]

Think I've found my first bike! Sadly I'll have to wait a couple more years where my life is more stable to get my license/my first bike, but I know for sure I'm probably getting some kind of Honda Shadow as my first bike! Love Hondas; my first car was a Civic, and I rode Honda dirt bikes as a kid/teen for years. Never had any problems with any of them.

[@sanriosenpai3569]

Just bought a 2009 Honda shadow 750c2 as my first bike I hoped on a learned to ride within 2hrs great first bike. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy again

[@billwhite8479]

First bike.? Don't you need to pass a test on a small bike first..?

[@roguesquadron521]

@@billwhite8479 Street bike, yes. But bike in general, no. I've ridden some before. But yes, I have to pass a test. True to my word, taking my MSF course in 2 months and will do my best to pass so I can get my license!

[@Heroesworkshop]

@@roguesquadron521 Did you get the Shadow RS?

[@UtilizatoruI]

Got my 2010 VT750S last year and I managed to put only 5-600 km on it this far but now it's hibernating. These were my first km on motorbikes (except moto school) so I'm comming from nothin', but I love this this bike. It pulls well until 5th gear, highways speeds up to 100-110km are fine, but it stops pulling hard above. It still accelerates but it's slower. This thing is loud when you start it, it's loud when you stop at a light and it's loud when you ride it. When crossing through small villages I usually go slow or go with low rev. so I'm not being obnoxious. The upright position is great, but you can't squeeze the tank as on a standard naked, so keep that in mind. Leaning seems fine so far, though I've not scraped any pegs yet due to skill and confidence, or lack of it :). On braking, it seems ok I guess; but I've not had any encounter where I had to do an emergency stop; so my opinion shouldn't count right now. As fit goes, I'm 5.6 so nakeds (would have picked an SV650) are a bit too high and cruisers (vulcan classic) are a bit scary big for me at the moment, but the 750s seems to be a great fit. All in all, it is my first bike and I'm loving it so far.

[@TheManowar05]

Hey how fast have you been able to get yours to?

[@UtilizatoruI]

@@TheManowar05 My absolute max speed on the vt750s was 140kmh ~= 87mph on the highway. It gets sluggish in 5th gear at high speeds. It probably does more, but I didn't push it because without a windshield... you become a parachute :)

[@jackburton4146]

1.26sec, like the stutter, 'this is mo-mo-mo-more like...' great review honestly...you missed out mentioning the Aero, cuz u said Shadow had 2 models Phantom and RS.

[@TheMarkleo1977]

Retro standard is what the rs stands for.

[@architekt2441]

more like Retro Style I guess..

[@grezbowman6410]

great videos mate, thinking of getting one of these, i've watched both your videos on it.

[@AdrianLabs]

I love your videos man, have you reviewed a Honda Shadow 750 Spirit?

[@doylee469]

Thats really a good paint job

[@AlexD02]

The RS just may be my next bike, hopefully. That or an 1100 spirit

[@jamesbranham2217]

Honda needs to come back out with that bike..I would buy one in a heartbeat.. hard to find used ones

[@michaelharrison4068]

I had one these it was fun not a large bike

[@garystratton8731]

Hi bud wondered if you could help me. I am looking for a nice cruiser as a new rider. My choices are this bike RS 750 , Rebel 500, Vulcan 650 S or Harley Street 500. What would you say how do they compare. Would this RS 750 be a lot slower than the others? 👍

[@Fcojavcom]

Sounds like that because have cobra exhaust. The original pipes it's not louder. This exhaust I call "civilize sounds ". Great bike

[@vegarosa69]

Pretty nice bike. Anyone knows if these are good for two up riding?

[@kurtmessenger2034]

I had a 2008 shadow 750 spirit and it did completely fine riding two up and I’m 6’2 245 lbs and my girl is 5’6 125. It was a little cramped but it pulled no problem

[@evaoldenburg7038]

The RS stands for Retro Standard

[@seanbutler2291]

Yea where you get cafe racer from i have no idea, its a sportster. Jus no HD logo on it.... Only real difference

[@barrett2013jb]

Hi shawn gotta question on being a short rider would this be a good one to get on and being a new rider.

[@seanbutler2291]

good vid man. thanks

[@andreykirichenko5577]

thank you

[@davidekelman5715]

I understand about the bird flying with you comment.

[@dre5491]

Sean your videos have me torn between what bikes I want lol. I'm 5'7 a novice rider. I'm not a complete noob I had a 1982 Honda CM450C for about 3 months. My thing is I wanted a Sportster 48 but... The small tank turns me off and I want something my girl and I can ride comfortably. Shes about 5'4 so we're both on the smaller side. Would a Shadow 750 have enough to cruise on the hwy or at higher speeds with us or should I go for a Dyna or something like the V Star 950 or 1100? My dream bike is a Road King. But I want to wait until I have more experience and I can afford a newer one with at leas the 103 Ci.

[@seanbutler2291]

dre5491 the 103ci is barely an upgrade. Bigger engine but way heavier so the power is similar feeling.....look up the honda magna 750 gen 3 its a 750cc engine, but its a v4 not vtwin so its power is impressive and sounds better than any harley, i always say its an anybody bike, its fun whether your advanced or a complete noob, its very light and amazingly maneuverable. Highly recommend it over a shadow, and over any harley, that 750 v4 will smoke the 48 including all bikes you mentioned, and all the current harleys made with the m8 motor. The only one that could have beaten it was the vrod/nightrod. And its gone now. Their are quite a few for sale here in florida, you can get one with really low miles and lots of extras for less than 3k. Honda v4s are almost expected to hit 200k miles if properly maintained.

[@Korsfestelse]

Old comment but still relevant. I've got a 750 Aero and that thing has no bother riding with pillion and luggage. Obviously it won't pull as hard, but I've had mine sat at 80mph in those conditions and it had no problem accelerating up to 90. For reference both me and the pillion have similar stats: 5'1" and 90-95kg.

how is the power like I'm think of getting one for my first bike. I'm looking at the vlx 600 or the 750 rs.

[@seanbutler2291]

Fabian Fazzari look up honda magna gen 3. Great power amazingly maneuverable, and the 750cc v4 engine is bulletproof and powerful

[@SvenJunior]

May I ask How tall you are Sean? Iam like 196cm so is this bike an option for me?

[@TheManowar05]

Im trying to decide between the vt750s and any of the vt750 models. Can anyone give their opinions

[@handyfix2952]

I have a 2003 Honda Shadow ACE 750. From 2004 forward this classic style with big fenders has been referred to as the 750 Areo. That same year they introduced shaft drive in all 750 Shadows. Around these year models you will also find the Shadow Sprit with smaller fenders and a speedo mounted on the handlebars like the RS in the video. The stopped making the Sprit around 2012 or 2013. The RS in the video was made between 2010-2013 and has a higher seating position 29” compared to 25.9” on all other 750 Shadows. Sort of a half cafe half cruiser bike. 2010 was the year that Honda made all 750 Shadows fuel injected. That same year they introduced the Shadow Phantom 750 a bike they still are making along with the Shadow Aero 750. That’s you options if you want a new bike. However, even with the price of a new one only at 8K before tax and registration. I would suggest you get a used one. You can find a low mileage used one for under 5K and it’s basically the same bike. I would suggest you get one made from 2010 onward because you will get shaft drive and fuel injection which equals less maintenance and slightly better fuel mileage than my carbureted bike, about 56mpg. Engines on these bikes are the same. The differences are in the styling. You can upgrade with some aftermarket pipes, you may also want to add a aftermarket air intake. If you do this talk to your local Honda dealership about it, because the fuel injection will need to be adjusted with a command control for it to run optimally. If it’s a carbureted bike it will require rejecting the carburetor. If you get a used bike, some of these things may have already been done. They give you more acceleration and top speed, but with a drop of a few mpg in fuel economy. If you just go with pipes you can get away without the other mods. If you do air intake and outtake (exhaust) you have changed they way your engine runs and need all mods mentioned.

[@stevemadison7895]

Retro Sport

[@DavidCharriez2010]

How comfortable it is to ride this versus the Phantom and Fury?

[@Srkcycles]

it just a more sportier look, less cruising and more sport, i think its very comfortable, but different the phantom is more cruiser and forward controls, never rode a fury

[@Bbbuddy]

“Retro Standard,” according to Honda.

[@manuhonkanen2111]

RS once meant Racing Single?

[@roccolescio1695]

Can anyone tell I have a 2020 Honda shadow fathom 750cc and in lower gears its has like an echo when I roll the throttle is this normal

Thanks for that. I wish more reviewers would include their 'stats'. I'm also 6'2'' and looking for a first bike. The Shadow RS seems to "fit" pretty well. Will check out your Yamaha Bolt review as well.

[@jamesbranham2217]

Honda has totally lost their way the last several years.. ya they have the goldwing.. and the 750's.. but really everything else in between I wouldn't look at.. they owned the 1100 market with spirit sabre ace and aero.. boy the exec's are way over paid imo

[@GCarl07]

Is this good for a beginner bike?

[@t77snapshot]

LaLaTangerine Yes. It's light.

[@jeffruebens8355]

Check out the 9-3-2018 article at Motorcyclist Magazine online by Seth Richards for best bikes for shorter riders. Most are also good for beginners because it is easier to put your feet down, just not super high powered like the Ducati Diavel. I highly recommend borrowing or renting a slow dirt bike for a few days first, also many states let you take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation 2 day class for beginners, and they loan you a bike. If you pass the class they count it as the road test for your state motorcycle license. I rode dirt bikes from 8 to 15 years old, then started with a 650cc on the street with a top speed of 105 mph, but it was hard to see going that fast from so much eyeball vibration .
