1983 Honda VT500C Shadow 500 $1,700

Ballard, Seattle, WA

“The Shadow was one of the first cruiser-style motorcycles offered by Honda, with a teardrop tank, flared pipes, and a relaxed riding posture. This is an excellent motorcycle for a beginner or intermediate rider, and this particular bike has a few extremely rare features that you aren’t going to find anywhere else: an after-market touring luggage rack/sissy bar, crash bar and highway pegs. And at only 7000 miles on the odometer, it’s got a lot of life left in it!

The bike runs great, the engine and carbs are clean, and it has been very reliable for me (my last trip was a solo tour of five western states, and I never had a problem!) This is a rare find — take it on tour, and you’re sure to get a lot of attention! $1,700.”

At first I thought that perhaps the owner was asking a wee bit too high, until I saw that this Shadow 500 only has 7,000 miles on its odometer. Ah, the mid 80’s - when you could buy a great, dependable cruiser, or a standard bike, or a sport bike.
