2003 Honda reviews

Bought this bike new and loved it since then. I usually don't ride long distance and low miles speak for themselves. But whenever I get a chance I ride this bike at least 80 to 120 miles in one leg. Bike is very good looking, comfortable, easy to maintain and easy to handle in any road conditions. Highly recommended. Show less

I have owned this bike for 2 years. It has been the best bike I could ever ask for. I have done a lot of stuff on this and it still just keeps on running. I would recommend it to any kid that is older than 9 years old. Show less

This thing is a complete animal! The power is crazy for a 100cc. If you ever heard of RedBud the mx track, I rode it there 2 days ago and the bike had no problem getting up hills. If you research redbud you will see it has the biggest jump in AMA and a xr can hit it in 3rd gear and make it up or jump it. Plus it's a ttr125l killer. No ttr125l can beat me or any xr100r rider. XR 100 R ROCKS! Show less

I ride mostly woods and decided to move up from an 05 KDX 200 to this 03 CR 250. I have been very pleased. The longer wheelbase, superior suspension, and power increase were all I expected and more. I have taken this thing through the tightest nastiest single track one can imagine to the biggest fastest back country. It handle mud, hairy switch-back mountains, tight technical terrain, and MC tracks with superior flickability. At 40 yrs of age, I feel I could ride this with ease for 20+ more years. The only things different than stock are tusk steel clutch plates, FMF gnarley low-end pipe, and dunlap 756 tires. Set up this way, It has been perfect for my woods style of riding. Show less

I have owned my bike for 3 years now it sat for a year without being rode hardly at all due to job. I have put almost 6000 miles on it this summer alone. I really enjoy my bike it is a great bike to use for back and forth to work. Yet it is big enough to run with the big bikes. Only bad thing is hard to find aftermarket parts for this bike. If you get a VT750DCB that is check the last letter for parts. Show less

This is my first bike after not having one for the last 25 years. I bought this bike from the original owner with 3200 miles. I ride daily to work when the weather cooperates and I've racked up 1100 miles in 2 months. I think this bike is beautiful, my only wish for this bike is a 6th gear of overdrive. It's a bit buzzy at highway speeds. Show less

In six months I've put 8,000 miles on the bike. It has effectively become my car replacement. I spent a good amount of time working on getting it to fit me just right. As a tall rider it has worked great but definitely needed handle bar risers and a driver backrest. The engine guard also helped to add some weight to the front end which seemed a little light. The bike is responsive on the throttle and great for scooting around. I'm not a hot rodder so it has all the torque I'm looking for. With mpg hovering around 50 it's also nice on fuel economy.

My brother and I built a sidecar for my scooter so my grandson and I can have lots more fun with the scooter. We built a squirt gun into it so we can squirt the people on the side of the road. It has a lot of power to move the sidecar down the road with two adults on it at 45 mph with no problem.... Show less

MY SILVERWING HAD 4,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN 2004. IT NOW HAS 26,500. I HAVE RODE IT SOUTH TO KEY LARGO,FL NORTH TO GREENBURG, PA. AND WEST TO BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI. PLANNING ON MAKING IT TO ST LOUIS, MO NEXT SUMMER. IT STILL RIDES COMFORTABLY AND SMOOTHLY. LIKE ANOTHER REVIEWER MENTIONED THE RIGHT SIDE GLOVE BOX ON MINE DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY AND THERE IS SOME RATTLING FROM THE FRONT END. EVERTHING ELSE IS FINE. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR A MOTORCYLE IF GIVEN THE CHANCE. I LOVE IT. Show less

I have been riding for 35 years. I have owned many bikes including Harleys, the last one being a Fat Boy. This bike by far out performs any of them. If you want a smooth ride along with looks, then the Honda Shadow Ace is for you. I will keep this bike and buy a new Honda Shadow Ace as well. Show less
