Honda Shadow 750 RS

I think this model is begging for someone to give it the street tracker treatment. It, of course needs a few upgrades, but the more I look at it, the more I see a real fun bike in the making..

883 Sporster - very nice bike indeed

I think the RS is a great little bike. For sure it's based on one of Honda's best townie cruisers.

Be sure and keep us updated on your impressions as you ride and get used to it.

Also, how big a boy are ya? Your dimensions might help others consider this machine.

Nice tidy machine. Congratulations. I had a Sportster once and would buy another one without thought, but I've owned way more Hondas. You'll be sick and tired of the color or something silly like that long before it ever fails you. Well done.

that's a good looking bike. I hope you enjoy it. Where did you get it?

Nice bike. Congrats.

100 mile super mini review: I LOVE THIS BIKE.










The standard peg position is perfect for me - You can stand up at a stop without the peg being in the way. I had a bit of an issue with this on my sportster:












My helmet was responsible for killing no less than 5 butterflies today












Thin profile like the 883

Don't change the exhaust. it looks and sounds just fine. You might gain 3 or 4 horsepower at the expense of more noise and and less driveability at lower RPM's. I'm not an engineer, I'm guessing neither are you, but the person that designed the exhaust and intake on that bike probably is. I bet he knows alot more about this stuff than we do. Besides i think the bike looks just fine the way it is. Enjoy it, great bike.
Looks like you might need a front tire soon though.

Lots of aftermarket stuff out there. If you go with the Honda accessories ( more expensive ), it fits and works. But stick with whatever brand of stuff you start with so it all works together. I would have no problem having one of these in my garage.

That is a sweet little bike. If my mom wasn't so hell-bend on owning a Harley, I would totally suggest this bike to her.

Nice looking ride!.Just curious,the plastic "rocker" covers, I presume they are ornimental.....covering up unpolished metal?.Also,tell us about your gas mileage as the bike accumulates miles!. TIA

Whats the ground clearence?.

lol I'm dead serious. She couldn't pick up an 883 if it dropped, yet she refuses to consider lighter/smaller bikes. Go figure :huh

Like my old Shadow Aero, I just drilled three small holes in each pipe. Sounds even better (not too loud at all but you can hear it over the wind easily)

That is a nice looking bike! I like that it has a fairly standard seating position and isn’t overly low compared to the tank, etc. Is that paint flat or matte instead of a gloss finish? It looks tough.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Great-looking bike! The Honda stylists showed commendable restraint this time, and it just looks right.

I agree on the standard peg placement. In addition to being more comfortable, I would think they would make it a lot easier to handle the bike.

The Shadow RS looks great. I looked at one up close today at the dealer. What is the point of the drum rear brake though? Just for looks, or is Honda trying to save some money or what?

its on the standard aero so I'm thinking its the whole sharing parts / being cheap thing. Id rather see a disk back there but it works just fine.
