2006 Honda Shadow VLX review from United States of America
"I would buy another one"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Burned out tail light.
Tripometer knob broke.
General comments?
Always starts and runs without any problems.
The fastest I can get it to go is around 95 miles per hour.
The seat is not bad, but after a few hours riding, it can be a little uncomfortable.
It gets around 60 miles per gallon at 80 MPH on the freeway.
Really, the only complaint I have is the 4 speed transmission. Honda really should have given it a 5 speed tranny.
