2000 Honda reviews

I have a 92 Nighthawk 750 and it's a great bike, small and light enough for a commuter, yet able to cross the continent. Will cruise at 85 all day, no sweat. I've put about 5K miles on it since purchase and no troubles at all. Of course, as the "last of the standards," the seating position is comfortably upright, not hunched over like on a sportbike or unnaturally balanced on your backbone with legs splayed out, like a cruiser. Wish list: a 6-speed and shaft drive, and a longer kickstand as it leans quite a bit. That and a one-inch lower seat, but that's me. I have it set up as a sport tourer. Show less

The XR-100R is a great starter bike for kids of all ages, it handles great to begin with and with the power band it is unbelievable for being a 100, especially if it's modified. I purchased my XR-100 about 3 years ago and for me after riding it for 3 years the XR-100 does its job "really" well. So I highly recommend this bike to someone who wants a great Quality 4-stroke bike! Show less

I have now logged my first 1700 miles in my first 2 months of ownership, and I thought it was a good time to write a review. This is my first bike, and long before completing my local MSF Beginning Riders Course (also highly recommended) and acquiring my motorcycle license, my research had really focused me on this bike. I thought that the size and power would be good for me as a beginning rider, without being overwhelming. That has been the case completely. The weight might be a little heavy for smaller/less sturdy riders, and as with any bike you're the master of your own destiny, i.e. a bike is only as dangerous as your throttle hand makes it, but it's quick enough to keep me excited about riding and it's detuned enough that you can twist away at that throttle without getting any accidental air under your front tire plus you get excellent reliability. I use it as an everyday commuter bike, and, of course, as a fun bike. I've had some scary moments locking up the rear wheel under heavy braking half a dozen times or so, once for more than 30 feet, but have yet to high side it fortunately. I'm a little bit of a thrill seeker (unfortunately for my long-term living prospects), so more conservative riders shouldn't probably worry about this - that's just what happens when the car in front of you stops and you're doing 65+. Great buy!! You won't regret it. Show less

I RODE THIS ACE TOUR FOR THREE YEARS BEFORE I TRADED HER IN ON AN 02 GOLDWING. THOUGH THE WING IS AN OUTSTANDING MACHINE, I MISS THE SHADOW. IF YOU ENJOY TROUBLE FREE BASIC RIDING WITH SPACE TO PUT YOUR "STUFF", THIS IS THE MOTORCYCLE FOR YOU. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH HER, OR ANY DISLIKES. THE ONLY REASON I TRADED WAS BECAUSE MY WIFE LIKED THE PASSENGER SEAT ON THE WING BETTER. THE SHADOW HAS A COBRA HIGHWAY BAR AND PEGS, COBRA FOOTBOARDS, A LUGGAGE RACK AND BACKREST, LEATHER TANK STRAP WITH TWO POCKETS, LED TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT BULBS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BRAND REAR TURN SIGNAL CONVERTORS(LED RUNNING AND BRAKE LIGHTS IN THE TURN SIGNAL HOUSINGS.) REALLY, A GREAT RIDE. Show less

I've had a number of different rides, and I currently ride a BMW 1150GS and the Honda--bought used in perfect condition. It is a very reliable, fun fast ride. I wish the rider position was a little more adjustable, but this is the best all around package I've ever ridden. Excellent bike. It is very fast. Show less

I remember my first ride on my 929RR from my CBR 600f4. I couldn't believe the power behind this bike after just tapping the throttle, it almost went up into the air. I'm pleased with the braking & lightness compared to the R1. I love this bike. For all users, if you don't put a pipe, steering damper, or command control on your bike, you only have 60% of what the bike actually is coming out of the plant. Show less

The CR80 is the best bike I have ever owned. These are the fastest 80's I have ever ridden or raced. Show less

I bought this bike used and completely stock so far no problems. I had this bike for roughly 4 months. I love the power and handling. It has enough power to jump the bigger jumps in a lower gear. I crashed countless times and so far nothing mechanically or visually has been distorted. I recommend this bike to any experienced rider. Show less

You have already heard everything you need to know about the Valkyrie from a technical point of view. Let me take it to the next level. You are riding through the hill country of central Texas or the mountain highways of Colorado. On a Harley, or Harley equivalent, you will be able to associate yourself with Mother Nature. At the same time you will always have a strong association with the motorcycle due to its predominant sound and pulsation. On a Valkyrie the trip takes on a different dimension. The Valkyrie has no sound and the only physical sensation is the slight twist of your right hand on the throttle and the subtle but forceful acceleration of a quiet engine with exceptional dynamic range. After about 20 miles of riding you can completely disassociate yourself from the Valkyrie and it will be just you and Mother Nature. You may have to keep reminding yourself that you have not died and gone to Heaven yet. You simply experience Heaven on Earth on the latest evolution in motorcycles. Show less

This has been the best bike I have had. I started off with a 70 then went to a 100 and it takes off better, has a lot more power and handles great. Show less
