Great bike

The 2004 Honda Shadow Aero is a wonderful, reliable motorcycle. It has a low seat height and low center of gravity. It feels very stable in low speed maneuvers and travels well on the highway. Wind doesn't seem to affect it very much at high speeds considering it's size. It does vibrate some at ...about 65 mph but I think a lot of it is head buffeting that could be solved with some lowers. I think it is very comfortable for touring, though the gas tank could be a little larger. It's a nice looking bike and looks larger than a 750. Mine has 10,000 miles on it and I have done nothing to it but routine maintenance. The only thing I would change is to add fuel injection and a fuel gauge. A great bike for the money Read Full Review

Looks and rides like a much more expensive bike

After going a few years without a cruiser in the stable, I missed my old Vulcan and decided to get another cruiser in 2007. I was looking for a mid-sized bike, 750-800cc, with a V-twin and classic styling. My first choice was a Suzuki Volusia but I could not find any decent used ones. I had not c...onsidered a Honda Shadow Aero until I sat on one at the International Motorcycle Show in Atlanta in 2007 and it fit me perfectly!

My Aero is a 2004 model, two tone factory paint, Honda sissy bar and a custom air cleaner. It has a great sound, is very good looking and easy to ride and is the perfect bike for "slow down and smell the roses" cruising. It also excels at general transportation in the 'burbs (I use a backpack for carrying things).

While not fast, the Aero has no problem keeping up with traffic. Gas mileage has been exceptional - I have averaged 62 mpg in the two years I have owned it. Cornering clearance is not great, but hey, it's a cruiser. When I want to do some enthusiastic cornering in the twisties, I choose a different bike to ride.

I have had zero problems with the Aero and it is the prettiest bike I have ever owned. It is what most non-motorcyclists think a motorcycle should look like!
