Shadow 1100 vs KZ750 & KZ550
11 Sep 2011 15:26
So, I recently sold my 750 LTD 4 cylinder and bought a 93 1100 Shadow. I still have my 550 LTD though.
At first I loved the shadow...bigger, more comfy, sounds cool with the drag pipes etc etc. Anyway, I took my 550 for a spin yesterday. At first it felt like I was on a moped because the bike itself is so much smaller. But, I had a blast riding it again!
So, maybe the shadow is cooler sounding, rides nicer, is more comfy, for some reason it doesn't have that fun factor the old KZs have!
Also, I see my 750 ALL the time since the guy that bought it lives near me. Still looks great and I miss it

hehe, thanks for shoulder to cry upon 
I hope he has a good time with it. I did. Bought it for $300. Almost had to sleep on the porch because of it. 2 years, lots of wrenching and swearing and 10k later, I sell it for 1k. not bad I guess.
