Trade my VFR for a Shadow 750?

[Busaman5000]

Ive been toying with the idea of trading my Honda VFR800 for a small 750cc'ish cruiser. Since I hardly ever ride the VFR any more and have the Busa now, I thought getting a good used low maintenance cruiser might be a good idea.

Whatcha think?

"good low maintenance" you just described the VFR !

got any pics? it's a nice bike!

[Busaman5000]

Yeah I have some pics. I'll have to post them when I get home. Yeah its been rock solid, it has nearly 33,000 miles now. When I say low maintenance, im thinking longer lasting tires, better gas mileage, perhaps a shaft drive depending on the bike, etc...

This is hardly set in stone, I was just thinking about trading.


Perhaps a DRZ400 Supermotard would be on the list as well.

Here is the only pic I could find on this computer.

The Shadow 750 is not very easy on gas (or at least my wife's was not). I think you will be pretty upset with the performance compared the the VFR. The only downside I'm aware of on the VFR is the valve adjustment but only on the newest generation (VTEC 2002 up). I think your orange was only offered in 98 (or was it 99). Neat bikes!

Thanks! But actually its Red.

Shoot looks Orange from here..... I might need to have my eyes (or monitor) checked!

It does look kinda orange in the pic. But its a candy apple red. Its just the lighting combined with a crappy camera. That pic is atleast 3 years old.

I have a 04 VFR in the stable, its a great bike. Be really hard to give it up for a smaller bike with less performance on all levels.

yeah, hmmm I don't know. The V-star 1100's are nice to.
