Steady mid-range ride
By (I am an Owner) on May 16, 2021At 550lbs, the Shadow is very manageable. It's low for both-feet-firmly-on-the-ground at stops, well balanced, and certainly powerful enough for just about anything. It's a well behaved daily ride and the water cooled, fuel-injected, shaft-driven powertrain is tops in reliability. It's comfortable ... and good looking. On the negatives: It's a Phantom. It boasts a blacked-out look, but some knucklehead at Honda stuck CHROME pipes on it. I'm not a fan of having to remove 3 bolts requiring 2 different tools just to get under the seat. Really? Lastly, it's a very stable bike, but not as nimble as I would like. It feels like it oversteers in turns. Still a great bike.
