Hello again all,
I'm still in the market to buy a bigger bike, mostly for two-up riding. I currently own a '96 Shadow ACE 1100. It's great for riding around town or around 65 on the freeway, but anything extended or at higher speeds for extended time, she really seems to be working. I'm looking really hard at a Vulcan 1500, but I've only ever owned Honda's. I know there were a few years where Honda made a Shadow 1100 Tourer. I've seen some for sale on E-bay and CycleTrader and they "look" like they'd fit the bill too. Will these bikes feel like they're working as hard as the ACE does at extended highway speeds, two-up? Or, are they geared differently for highway speeds? Any input would be very helpful.
Thanks...
