Сегодня купил это мой первый мотоцикл 1999 г. Состояние норм. Две царапины. Куча эмоций. Беларусь рулит. Всем хорошей дороги.

This was the first bike i bought. Beautiful memories of it. Even though she couldn't go so fast. Got my license and life just opened up man. Great beginners bike and the price has escalated here in the UK. Bought mine for £1500 and they're almost double that now.

@@ryderwilson7955 Hello. It seems that some Honda Shadow bikes (including mine) could reach up to 75-77 mph, whereas some others (according to users' testimonials on the Internet) only 65-70 mph... It may depend on multiple factors, such as the way the motor was handled in the first 1000 miles, but also the number of teeth of the front sprocket : mine had 13 teeth, but apparently other models used a 12 teeth sprocket, which probably made the accelerations quicker, but the top speed a bit lower...

What's the price range for them do any of you know?
@Bytoruk5 жыл бұрын
Lauren Cooper Hi Lauren . They have stopped production so if you find a really nice one it will probably be priced around £1800. Look out for rust on spokes and on exhaust. There are quite a lot of tired shadow 125’s out there but if you get a good one you will love it and it will not depreciate in price . Good luck !

Looking at getting one of these. Would you recommend them?
@Bytoruk6 жыл бұрын
Definitely would ! Had this one for 3 years and also had a suzuki intruder 125 , which is very similar. I did a video comparing both bikes with the help of my neighbour Stuart. I love this bike but now that we all have our big bike licences' there is no point holding on to it. Everything about it from the build quality , comfort , relative power and just tremendous looks make this the best 125 cc bike around IMHO . Hope this helps ! Ride safe !

Mark Chambers i would love one of these, any chance of getting one around 1400?
@Bytoruk6 жыл бұрын
Every chance , if you look around . I have found them at that price but condition was not the best . They tend to rust around the wheel and spokes , if not cared for properly. I have seen suzuki intruders 125 cc at that price , in fairly good condition. Good luck finding your next ride !

Mark Chambers Hey, thinking about buying this bike. What in your experience is the bikes top speed, both flat and uphill? Also, what speed are you more likely to be riding at? Thanks
@Bytoruk6 жыл бұрын
Relics Hi . I found that the bike will cruise at 60 mph all day long. Took it to Aviemore for Thunder in the Glen’s , which is a 300 mile round trip . It didn’t miss a beat and also didn’t look completely out of place at the Harley Davidson ride out. Thing that must be remembered is that it is a 125 cc bike , so when it hits a hill it runs out of juice and can struggle a bit. Top speed is probably close to 70 mph and acceleration is fine as long as you work your way through the gears. Good luck getting one of these . I’m sure you will not be disappointed ! 👍

It will sit comfortably at 60 mph and on a good day hit 70 mph . However when you hit a hill the wee engine starts to struggle .
