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... www.thescooterandbikeshop.co.u... |
