I have a 1985 Honda Shadow vt500c (500cc) for sale. The bike runs well, lots of power. Brand new air filter, front and rear tires and tubes, battery. The bike starts up great with an electric starter, it takes regular gas, and an optional plexiglass ferring is included if desired. There is small inch long split in the seats seam (not noticeable). Before the bike is fully warmed up, 1st gear requires high rpms, and there is a slight jump between mid and full throttle. After the bike warms up, this problem goes away. This is a relatively minor issue and would probably be fixed with more driving, or a simple carb clean according to my mechanic. I recently had a local bike shop perform a checkup during the new tire installations and this was the only issue they noted. I installed a new horn, and turn signal mounts (these wear out on older bikes). Need to get rid of the bike due to wife's demands. :) All blinkers, horns, brake lights, startup, shifters, brakes, etc... in good working order. The bike also has a cruise control feature built in to the throttle. The Honda shadow is shaft driven, like many BMWs, this means you don't need to deal with chain maintenance. The bike can seat two people if desired, with retractable foot-pegs for the back seat. A motorcycle helmet and trickle charger is included if needed. Great first bike!
