Shadow 750

The Honda Shadow 750 is a best-selling entry cruiser — a 745cc liquid-cooled V-twin with a confidence-inspiring 25.9-inch seat height and Honda's legendary reliability, available used at $3,000–$7,000 across a 40-year production run. The rear drum brake on non-ABS models limits stopping performance by modern standards; this is an affordable entry cruiser built for proven durability over the latest features.
