Talk:Honda Shadow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Honda Shadow is within the scope of the Motorcycling WikiProject, which aims to improve Wikipedia's coverage of motorcycles and motorcycling. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks.

This article appears to either infringe (or be infringed upon) by shadowforums.org's Bob Maynard. Take a look at [1] . I believe the historical information on the Honda Shadow would be considered copyright infringment from [1] one way or the other (highly doubtful that this many bytes of exact text can be considered an excerpt...). Perhaps tracking down this Bob Maynard fellow would be a good idea?

Looking for links to model specific forums, more/better pictures, links to pdf's of manuals, links to amazon to purchase manuals/repair guides.

Also need 1999-2006 model summary, curren tsummary ends in 1998.

[edit] Shadow Spirit = Wide Glide

I've owned both Hondas and Harley's over the past 35 years, and had the opportunity to own both a 1995 Honda VT1100C Shadow and a Harley FXDWG Wide Glide at the same time. Parking the bikes next to each other, it was striking how much they looked alike. The key styling cue was the bobbed rear fender. Of course, they sounded nothing alike...

[edit] Counter-intuitive

The following lines seem counter-intuitive

"The Shadow is available in several sizes, ranging from the leaner 125cc model to a much larger 1100cc (as the 1300cc-to-1800cc Honda VTX Series does not share the Shadow name). All Shadow cruisers are equipped with V-twin engines. In spite of this, the top speed of a 2001 Shadow 125cc, for example, is a remarkable 80 miles per hour."

How can it be inspite of and also be remarkable? How can the top speed be inspite of having the v-twin engine?

Does this make sense? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Metalheadgeek (talk • contribs) 17:32, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
