I had a 93 Honda Nighthawk 750 years ago. I liked it. It was nice to just cruise around on. Not as fun to me as a sport bike. I've never ridden a Honda Shadow. I'm sure they are nice and reliable though, considering it's a Honda. If i ever get another cruiser, it'll probably be a Yamaha Road Star Warrior. Or if i go all out, possibly a Harley V-Rod.

I had a Shadow Ace 750, and liked it a lot. But it didn't take
too long to out grow it since I am a large guy. I have my eyes
set on a VTX1300 which should be a perfect fit.
But the ACE is a great bike for normal size guy's/gals, but
its no hot rod. There is a lot of after market stuff out there compare
to other bikes in its class, only your wallet could limit the choices.

One of the guys I work with has an 1100 Shadow with about 60K miles on it and it still runs good.

there alright bikes, slow as crap though. I think something like 45 hp. But if speed aint your thing, this bike would be a great, long lasting, good gas milage, comfortable bike.
