My first street motorcycle ever, and the one that I learned on, was a 1985 Honda Shadow 500 back in 2003. I loved that bike. It was light yet snappy. I rode the heck out of it and did all my young "hooliganing" on it. It had a well done custom paint job, navy blue with silver flames. She was a looker. Ended up selling it for double what I paid for it. Now days I ride a Vulcan 900, but I still miss that bike sometimes.

Ah my second bike. 1986 Shadow 500 in that same red. Yep, I'm old enough to have bought it new. That was one absolutely fantastic motorcycle. Shaft drive, water cooled with auxiliary fans that would kick on when needed. Extremely comfortable on road trips with a very smoooooth ride. One caveat -- passengers had to learn NOT to attempt using that little back jabbing spine breaker as an actual backrest and more of a butt stop.

I bust out laughing when you said get the electronics (soaked in gas). BTW, my very first bike was a Honda 550 Nighthawk and this one reminds me of it even though the Nighthawk was a I4. It was such a great bike and brought me into the world of riding my own motorcycle. Previously my only experience was riding someone else's bike. Way back when my first experience was a mini bike that a friend in neighborhood let me ride. DONE!!!! I was HOOKED! I never got to own my own (2 wheel powered vehicle) until the Nighthawk. Great memories including lawman chases. LOL!

I have 4 bikes in my stable right now and this one will always have a place in it. It’s so versatile, down for anything, with a little bit of attitude to boot

The magna is good because they have seperate CDI for front and rear banks, I just swapped the plugs under the seat and the misfire moved to the front cylinders. The wire colours and layout reminded me of a dc Honda cub or pitbike CDI wiring, there is a good chance a DC CDI form one of those could work.

I dont have an offer to make. I just wanted to say that i would love to make a deal for a motorcycle from your shop one of these days. Maybe even give you my suzuki savage 650 as a trade in or something.

Just now seeing this video. I bought my 85 shadow new. After about a year kill switch went out. Would crank over but would not start. Had to sell 2 years later after losing job. Great Bike.

I just got my own 1984 Honda Shadow 500 last year. It'll be my first bike and I can't wait to get it cleaned up. It runs but needs alot of cleanup and repainting

You've bought the cheapest bike at the auction but they're also one of the best bikes ever made. Best bike Honda ever made in my opinion. Dont sell it for peanuts. Bikers who know their bikes and build custom bikes will chew your arm off for a good condition VT500 or VT700 as they make an excellent bobber. They sell for between 1500 euro and 3000 euro over here in Ireland in that condition. I just finished restoring my own 85 VT700 which was imported from the US. Personally I think you should keep this bike and do a full restoration/custom bobber build on it. It would make a great video. They're technically simple to work on and crazy reliable. The quality of parts that went into those bikes back then by Honda doesnt happen anymore. The only weak point on those bikes is the rear swingarm. The box metal part in front of the rear tyre wasnt welded properly so water gets in and they rust from the inside out so nowadays most of them need to be taken off and welded up to repair so they are road safe. Check the frame on the left side near where the swingarm mounting bolt screws in as it may have a large rust hole as well near the original kzread.info/dash/bejne/qnd8yq2ukdzambQ.html

The Shadow is one of the worst Hondas. Pretty but a lot of poor design decisions and they have a lot of problems. You see no shortage of non-running ones on Facebook. The Classic Rebel was the best bike's Honda ever made.

must be nice to be a dealer who can go to those kinds of auctions. Those bikes are really nice looking for the money, worth putting a few hundred bucks into if they needed it.

I took it on a road trip from Atlanta to Virginia Beach. It was cold, but that didn't hurt me until it started to rain. Talk about ugly. The worst part was the seat. It felt like a porcupine splitting me in half. But, I made it in one piece, and it got me home without ANY trouble.
