When I can afford a 2nd bike - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

It'll be this:

I have to keep my Shadow cuz it's such a good bike and it works for two-up, but man ever since I was a kid on a dirtbike in the '70's I've dreamed of a Triumph or Norton cafe racer. A local dealer has a 2009 Thruxton and I've got it bad for that bike.

Blue skyz!

Get it NOW.... By spring you'll be almost done making it "yours" and ready for the start of the season...

(Great choice by the way).

Oh, just a heads up, if you've come to love the vibration of your Shadow, you'll be sorely disappointed in that parallel twin Triumph....

Good choice and +1 to Mongrel's comment. I was able to augment my stable with a Bonneville (basically the same as the Thruxton but with different seating position). I absolutely love that bike. The power and handling are addictive!

What are you waiting for?

One of my wife's favorite shows is " Cafe Racer TV" and now she's got me hooked on it as well... She's wants my 3rd bike to be a black or red Thruxton,,,

I like watching these guys turn an old 70s 80s Jap bike into a cafe racer,,
