I upgraded to a Honda Shadow Spirit 750

in Hive Motors4 months ago (edited)

After owning my 2007 Kawasaki VN250/250V Eliminator for a bit ovee a year, I stumbled on a deal on Facebook Marketplace for a 2007 HONDA VT750C2 SHADOW SPIRIT 7.

It has 57000 Km on the clock but thats still pretty good for a Honda Shadow that is known for it’s reliability. The previous owner has uograded the bine with a set of Mustang seats and that is so comfortable! The bike also has a BrakeAway Cruise Control installed. The stock exhaust was already modified (baffles removed with a holesaw) so it has a loud rumble.

I had to travel over 80Km to Newcastle for the inspection and rode it back to our place after making sure everything is running fine.

The only surprise I had once home was the discovery of little paint chips under a massive black sticker I haven’t even noticed during inspection. I was probably too excited and might have thought that black area was part of the fuel tank design. Nothing serious and I would probably still have bought the bike but would have appreciated if the seller was more honest.

Nice thing about this is half the price of this bike was funded with Hive!

And a couple weeks later, I managed to sell my 250cc Kawasaki Eliminator and used the money to get some upgrades: floorboards, auxiliary lights, new front tyre etc…

Honda Shadow 750 on a ride

I have done several group ride with my motorcycle club, EasyRiders Australia, and so far its performing very nicely. I’m just going to add some risers extension to get the handlebars higher and closer to me for extra comfort.

This coming Saturday I’ll be doing a longer ride from the Central Coast to the Wollongong in the South Coast, about 185Km.

Congratulations on your new motorbike. Enjoy riding and keep safe.😊

Sounds like you are really enjoying the new bike. Have fun on the upcoming ride.

Looking good bike

I don't know much about motorcycles but can you consider the Honda brand good for motorcycles?

A few weeks ago I was looking for a motorcycle to ride with my girlfriend and I got stuck between brands and years.

but I always see that people use Honda a lot like Yamaha and Harley-Davidson

I just bought a new car last week so iam kinda excited

Honda motorcycles are very reliable

Wuo what a beautiful bike, also the photography is very well done in front of the sea at night. What a beauty. 😎

Awesome pick! I've always been a fan of Honda so I am really happy for your new baby on two wheels!

Congrats on your new bike! 👍

Congrats to you sir enjoy your new ride

Nice ride, Mate!

Cheers man

Broh, from what you had the last time I think the motorcycle bug might have bitten you!

Without a doubt a beauty you bought there! Even with 57k on the clock and it's still shining like new!

Very good buy!

Yea man. I joined a motorcycle club, all patched up and all lol, but that’s for another post 😅.

For a 2007 model at 57K she’s looking real good. Got her for about $3000 USD including the original seat with sheepskin cover, upgraded Mustang seats and the cruise control, that’s a pretty good deal.

Always cool when you can use the crypto for things XD

That's a nice colour.

Yea I was waiting for a listing for red, less boring than the classic black.

Nice Motorbike!

@quochuy, I sent you an

Hi, I hope you are very well, I see that you are excited about your new bike and I am very happy. I've been thinking about buying a touring bike, I had one some time ago and after I lost my fear of riding it, we were inseparable. Then I had to decide between motherhood or the use of the bike, so I had to say goodbye, but I'm getting ready to buy one and shorten distances, hopefully I get a well feminine hahaha.

Wow 😍 is nice to find this kind of articles where they say that part of the funding was by Hive, Congratulations the truth my electric violin was also the same, thanks to Hive I managed to gather to buy an electric violin, and I still believe in hive always and now gathering for a bigger speakers to hear my music much better in the events, hive has made possible many things and thanks also to the people who always support our content always at least I will be grateful, again congratulations on that purchase and surely better things will come.
