I had an 87 700. Hit 115 mph. Sweet bike. So smooth. So comfortable.

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

1986 was the birth of the greatest quad of all time the Mighty Honda Fourtrax 250R.
LEGENDARY year from Honda!

Wordddddd y'all finally put a video out there for a Honda Shadow y'all are awesome mannn

[@duaneyoutbe]

A friend gave me one in like new condition. It looked new.
Great for around town, the whir of the motor was very nice.
It surely wasn’t comfortable for trips farther than 25 miles.
After having it for a winter and a summer, I sold it to a kid who wanted it bad. I let him have it for 1,700.00 and he was in Heaven.
I remember hearing the sound of the bike around that small town and smiling cause I knew he was having fun.
Big Spring Texas 1989
I do regret letting that bike go.
It was the best looking shadow Honda made.

[@fernandoorrico9106]

Any one who can help me find piston ring for this bike? i can't find it any were, Thanks

[@mikeeiben3430]

I had mine up to 105 mph in 5th gear, I think. It was many years ago.

[@moosestache1769]

You might have one trouble with electronics: the three wires going from the stator to the rectifier to the battery are notorious for corrosion at one of the junctions. Easy fix, but something to look out for. I miss my old Shadow. Same year, same color.

[@littleflash6090]

Mine just fried up on me last week, starting smokin underneath me! Got them hardwired together now do hopefully its all good
