I'm thinking of buying a Honda Shadow 125 to get back on the road after 20 years.?



Is the Shadow a good learner bike and do they hold their price well if bought new?

Yes they are good learners bikes but keep in mind if there is a head wind they can lack power but they keep resale value well EBay is a good seller as small overseas Countries buy up all the one type of secondhand bikes Countries such as Tonga.
just dont come back here crying when you wreck the bike...
I knew someone who had one, they seem to be ok for getting back into it. Comfortable, fun, etc...... But i think you'll get bored pretty soon. Maybe you should buy a used one for a few months.
G'day,

What kind of bike did you ride 20 yrs ago, was it a Cruiser, (as in a Shadow-Harlie) or was it a Sports bike?

You may find that if you go to a 250cc you will enjoy it a lot better.

My wife hasn't ridden a bike in 5 yrs and the last time she was on a seat as a rider was on a 650 Cruiser and in the USA. She hasn't ridden in Australia yet and thinks she wants to go for a sports bike. We have talked and have both agreed for her to go for a 250, then we will sell it to our daughter as her first bike.

I hope this helps you.

All the best in your endeavour, and stay upright.
whatever you decide on - its changed a lot out there in 20 years ! be careful and good luck !
I would go for the pioneer Nevada, very similar bike, just as reliable, but at 拢1100 brand new on the road it would save a few pounds. try www.thescooterandbikeshop.co.u...
