I have owned one of these magnificent bikes for over a year. Having twin spark per cylinder makes it quite nippy for a small cruiser while the dedicated overdrive gives you 60 mpg at a steady pace on the open road. The indicators stay on while driving which adds to visibility and the forks are air pressure . I would prefer the footpegs to be more forward and a bigger tank. Inevitably I will get a bigger bike maybe another shadow but I fancy a moto guzzi californian. However I cannot recommend the Honda 500 shadow highly enough.
