1985 Honda Shadow

JH2RC1907FM111760

DEAL ALERT .... NO RESERVE AUCTION!!! .... Up for auction we have a 1985 Honda Shadow VT700. We are a Honda motorsports dealership and we took this motorcycle in trade recently. This bike has a nice large windscreen, luggage rack, and passenger backrest. Our service department has replaced the front folks and seals, performed a carb overhall, replaced spark plugs, flushed the fuel tank, new front tire, along with fresh oil & filter. This bike starts and runs just fine, so all it needs is a new rear right turn signal, and a battery along with left side cover plastic. There is a dent on the front right & left side of the gas tank (see images). The front wheel fender has a few minor dings, and needs bolts to attach to bike, but it is included with the motorcycle. Please do no bid if you don't plan on paying! Bidders with less than 5 feedback, please contact us before bidding or we may cancel your bid (due to non paying bidders in past). Feel free to call with any questions or concerns to 617-275-3784. Remember .... NO RESERVE AUCTION!!! .... Thanks and Happy Bidding! 1985 Honda Shadow VT700 Specifications The 1985 Honda Shadow VT700C was a cruising-style motorcycle with a feet-forward riding design for increased ride comfort.
