Advantages: A great all round cruiser Disadvantages: The worst saddle ever built
...Originally an owner of a HondaShadow 600, we moved to the new 700 Deauville. The ride deisgn of this bike is not suited to my height ..5ft 8 and 30 inch inside leg. We decided to go back to cruisers and bought a 2007 750 C2 Shadow Spirit.
My wife and I love the looks, the driver ride comfort, the economy and everything else about the bike......BUT....that gunfighter saddle..an absolute dissaster.................. After only 10 miles my wife is moving around trying to get comfortable. As she is only 4ft 10 and weighs just 45 kilos, she is hardly overweight.
We have had to purchase a Dual Tour saddle from the States as nothing else is available here in the UK.
Honda....it may look sexy but there the resemblence ends..that saddle is an ergonomic dissater...It ruins one of you best bikes ever.

Advantages: Great big bike looks, good 125 v twin engine, Insurance Deals Disadvantages: A bit on the expensive side at 3,100 but worth the extra cash
...I have my Shadow for about 4 months now and am very pleased it's a gorgeus bike with a real retro feel to styling, The handling is very good and the bike is very smooth on the road. The shadow was a replacement for the rebel which in comparison is very small and child like. The shadow has a larger V Twin Engine, Water cooled (Not many other bike manufacturers make watercooled engines), and can pull the bikes large body up till a steady speed of 75mph or 85 if you can find a long stretch of road thats completely flat. If you want a harley like cruiser in a learner bike this is the one. Honda offer free membership for there riders club and AA membership so far I have had no problems, cheap insurance ie 120ukp for a 21 year old....

Advantages: Excellent engines,comfort and handling Disadvantages: Expensive parts,unconventional brake assembly
...Having owned nothing but Vauxhalls i bought my first Honda six months ago.She is a 10 year old 2.0 accord aerodeck with only 147,000 on the clock.This is by far the best car i have ever owned regardless of the recent service bill of £620 due to replacing discs and pads on both front brakes along with both CV boots ,a common problem,and new rear silencer oh and three new tyres and tracking.This is an incredibly comfortable car and can take people at the lights,just put your foot down and watch all others in your rear view,except the williams clio which i surrendered to as soon as i saw its pedigree.Not a car for normal estate/volvo drivers.I have already decided to dedicate my life to owning Honda forever and only wish i had bought her sooner....

Ico, a story about a young boy with horns running round a castle dragging a young girl with him, was a surprise cult hit on the PS2 when it was released. Whilst a lot of hardcore action gamers disliked the lack of fighting, proliferation of puzzle bits,... more
Nothing sparks great memories more than my classic days of Sonic the Hedgehog (not be confused with the new next generation title of the same name). The 2d platform game with the blue hedgehog was the first game I ever played on a games console. This was more
Truth be told, this game could have been horrible and would have sold millions because of all the hype and promotion it got. So did the Turbine go lazy on us and create a crappy game just to rake in the cash? Actually no! Lord of the Rings Online:... more
