Grabbed up a 2011 Shadow 750 RS a couple weeks ago with just 700 miles. One owner, garage kept, basically brand new. I absolutely love this bike. The Honda racing livery is really nice. Previous owner took the baffles out and it sounds awesome. Massive upgrade from the 300 I was riding before.
I had a 04 aero for several yrs. Great bike as a daily. Not flashy not the most outlandish but dependable and reliable. Enough power to scoot n boot but not throw u off. Overall a great bike and fun to ride
i just purchased a 2011 rs myself last month. mines the red, white and blue scheme. its my first bike and i absolutely love it and i have zero complaints so far!
I have a 2012 RS that I bought new, and it has around 20k on it, and like you I have since acquired “better” bikes, but I just can’t bring myself to part with it, it’s just such a good bike.
I really feel it’s probably the most overlooked Honda shadow ever, and being chain drive, it’s probably the fastest with this particular iteration of the 750 engine.
Mine does have about every accessory that was available when it was newer, cobra tach, intake, exhaust, fuel controller, as well as some of the OEM stuff Honda offered at the time. In truth though, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it stock, I doubt if any of the performance oriented stuff even gave it anything over 5 more hp. The real upgrade to me was I put Metzeler cruisetechs on it. It’s unreal how far you can lean the thing over in a tight curve, it handles great.
Great video, and nice review, it’s nice to see another RS on the road.
Well that's a nice way to see a bit of Philly ! Such a lot of great bike for the money ! I think you'd regret selling Her . Thanks for taking us along ! ❤😉🙃😎 NZ
I really loved this video A lot of wisdom about biking culture also very informative. I just got a rebel and this is the next bike I'm thinking about getting for longer and farther rides to the beach and springs in Florida
Loved the vid! I have an 03 Shadow 750 Spirit I got in Dec 2019 w 17k miles and I just hit 24k 2 weeks ago, I actually posted a 40 second clip of it on my channel, but anyway I’m glad I found this video you gained a new watcher and subscriber! Stay safe and watch out for other people, they can’t drive 😂
I have one from 2011 and it already has 53,000 km. and without any problem. It came with Dunlop tires and I changed them for the Metzeler ones, with these the bike goes much better. All the best.
A freind of mine had a Shadow ACE. We were plumber on the job. He would load his tools in the saddle bags every day and ride back and forth rain, snow or sunshine.
Great review and nice filming. I come from a dirt background like you, and after 9 off-road bikes, I'm thinking of picking up a Shadow RS as my first road bike. It just seems like such a simple, chilled-out bike to do some lazy road trips on.

The shadow story, my long lived-tried and trusty Honda Shadow RS has been through so much and lives to tell the story.
