Best Motorcycle Bike

The Best Motorcycle I Ever Owned

The best motorcycle I ever owned was a 2001 Honda Shadow 750. After trying several sports bikes, I finally decided to give cruisers a try and it was the best decision I could have made regarding motorcycles.

I enjoyed riding sports bikes too but, I had so much trouble getting comfortable. My wrist would hurt from leaning on the bars and I couldn't ride for long periods of time without pausing for a break due to discomfort. I had a few bad experiences with my sport bike. The worst happened when I dropped the bike and my foot was trapped beneath it. It was extremely painful and I decided that I would stop riding motorcycles until someone suggested that I try cruisers. Eventually I sold the bike to a co-worker who died years later in a motorcycle accident on a different bike. I had a hard time dealing with the loss and vowed to always ride safely.

A few months later, I succumbed to the suggestion and purchased my cruiser for $5000. It was fully loaded with crash bars, windshield, saddle bags and an alarm. I loved how the chrome looked against the shiny black metal. Most of all, I loved how comfortable I felt riding it. My wrist no longer hurt and the ride was always smooth.

Needless to say, it didn't take long to fall in love with my cruiser. I rode the bike with every opportunity I had. I dropped the bike a few times and the crash bars saved the day. The Honda Shadow had very good gas mileage and it worked great. Other than routine maintenance, I never had to invest anything in getting it fixed. My bike was reliable, comfortable, and very durable!

I loved my Honda Shadow because it seemed to fit me so perfectly. The bike didn't overpower me and I felt like I had control. As a female rider, the height and weight of the bike were compatible with my size. The bike was also compatible with my skill level because I hadn't been riding motorcycles for a long time. After owning a sports bike, my confidence in my ability to ride had gone down. My cruiser boosted my confidence within months of riding it.

No matter what motorcycle I own in the future, my Honda Shadow will keep a special place in my motorcycle heart. It is truly the best bike that I have ever ridden.
