In retrospective the VT1100 C3 Honda Shadow was a good bike. I sold it. Rode to Gibraltar over 10.000km in a 3 week summer trip with it and never had an issue. Liked its shaft drive and hydraulic valves. An easy to maintain and reliable bike as a Honda.
What I don't like on the long run where its vibrations, fuel consumption and the chopper riding positon. Nevertheless it was a good one and I should have kept it.
Otherwise, if I wouldn't have sold it, I would not ride the CB. One developed out of the other. Although the CB doesn't have the 2 mentioned components I prefer, it is overall the better motorbike for me.
