My first "big" bike was a 1995 Shadow A.C.E. 1100 (Hence my FR username). I loved that bike. Had to sell it in 2004 due to financials.
I bought a 2015 Honda Shadow 750. I looked at the 1100 but it was too heavy for me as I’m in my 70s. The Shadow runs great and is light and nimble. Plenty of power at 550 lbs. Many guys in my age bracket have gone to three wheelers. I don’t do touring, just rides around the local country roads. I’ve never had any problems with it except a flat tire.
