Honda Shadow description

I have a 1983 Honda Shadow vt500c (500cc) for sale. The bike runs well, lots of power. Brand new air filter, front and rear tires and tubes, battery. The bike starts up great with an electric starter, it takes regular gas, and an optional plexiglass ferring is included if desired. There is small inch long split in the seats seam (not noticeable).

Before the bike is fully warmed up, 1st gear requires high rpms, and there is a slight jump between mid and full throttle. After the bike warms up, this hiccup disappears. This is a relatively minor issue and would probably be fixed with more driving, or a simple carb clean according to my mechanic. I recently had a local bike shop perform a checkup during the new tire installations and this was the only issue they noted.

I installed a new horn, and turn signal mounts (these wear out on older bikes). Need to get rid of the bike due to wife's demands. :) All blinkers, horns, brake lights, startup, shifters, brakes, etc... in good working order. The bike also has a cruise control feature built in to the throttle.

The Honda shadow is shaft driven, like many BMWs, this means you don't need to deal with chain maintenance.

The bike can seat two people if desired, with retractable foot-pegs for the back seat. A motorcycle helmet and trickle charger is included if needed. Great first bike!

Local pickup only.

Monster Energy Kawasaki racer Ryan Villopoto demonstrated once again he is a the top of his sport, clinching his third-consecutive AMA Supercross championship.

Though he led every lap, Villopoto didn’t have as easy a time in Salt Lake City as he has had in some races this season.

Schwantz School, the ultimate track experience?

Mon, 22 Aug 2011

If having one-to-one instruction from an ex-MotoGP World Champion is your dream, then why not put the Schwantz School on your Christmas list for 2012. Ok, it’s in America and slightly more expensive than your average track day ($2750 for two days at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway) but many satisfied customers will argue this is the best rider training experience in the world. Your hard earned Dollar will see you alternate between the classroom and track from 8am until 4pm, then Kevin will take you on a track tour where he explains riding techniques and answers questions (he even drives the bus).
