2009 Honda reviews

Excellent experience buying my first motorcycle. Was very nice and helped load the bike up, even gave me a strap bc I forgot one. Truly a good an honest dealership that’s not out there to get your money. Show less

Great road trip bike. We have traveled extensively in the US and Canada prior to the Covid pandemic. Our trips were on a 2012 Goldwing and a 2009 Goldwing. Comfort and reliability were our favorite attributes of the Goldwing bikes. We have owned Goldwings since 2002 and have been blessed with perfect trips on each of our long road trips. Our average trip was 3000 miles and we never had a breakdown. We cannot say that for our friends that were on different brands of bikes. For comfort and reliability we definitely recommend all Goldwing 1800's. Show less

Ive had different bikes over the years, I'm 65 now, i bought my vtx 1300r in 2009 the last year honda made them. Best bike ive ever had.lots of power handles great, sounds great, but i did remove the fiberglass packing over the baffles. Can't say enough about this bike. If your looking for a awesome bike at a good price checkout this bike before you buy a bike. Show less

This has been a splendid bike, but at 725lb., my arrival at 72 yrs. of age, tho fit, has raised questions about my continuing ability to control it at very low speeds. The decision was hastened by the arrival of a 430 Yamaha triple in the fleet. The lighter bike has restored my confidence and almost left me feeling like a kid again. Show less

I've owned my 2009 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 for two years and love it. It's a very comfortable ride, has decent power and has been very reliable. I've added a few "extras" to make it even better. I would definitely it purchase again if I had to do it all over. Show less

I have finally found my last bike that I'll ever own. It's handling, maneuverability and ride are fantastic. I love the quietness of the exhaust and smoothness of the transmission. It's the first bike with a shaft, fuel injection, ABS and CBS, it has everything! And if I need to carry something, I'll backpack it. I'm a solo rider so two-up weight is "Not" a factor. Since I bought the bike last year, my initial cost was about half of the original price, so I definitely got a "Good" deal. Show less

I bought a 2009 new off the floor in 2012. I have to admit it's one of the best bikes I have ever ridden. This bike is very reliable, decent on gas, plenty of power and by far the best dual sport for off road. Another upside is that the design hasn't changed since 1993 so there are plenty of aftermarket parts and you know this engine is dependable. Now the down side is from the factory. It doesn't quite run right. don't let that put you off because with a few mods it runs great. It just needs to be rejetted and add a new exhaust. But that's just what I have done and what has worked for me. Other people might find they like it stock. Show less

It's one of the best bikes that I have raced on as a beginner. It is clean and very sharp looking. Show less

I bought this as a general purpose bike to go on and off road riding because of how I liked a friends dirt only 230F model. I do 99% on road riding now because my friend now rides a sport bike and it is not too safe to go off roading alone. This thing is very practical for me. I can commute, visit relatives across town, go grocery shopping. I just load up an over-the-shoulder bag and have the weight rest on the seat behnind me, cruise the neighborhood in the evening after the traffic dies down, and go on group rides so long as they keep the speed to legal limits. This bike will do 70 mph. but headwinds and hills burden its 14 horsepower. I just downshift to 5th gear and it will still rev to 65 and still get 73 to 96 mpg. I mostly average 84 around town. I fill up at about 130 miles before having to switch to reserve. With reserve it will travel about 180. The front tire lasted about 8,000 and rear held up until 10,000 miles. I replaced them with OEM Bridgestones through the dealer because they were the cheapest. The brake pads last about 4,000 miles, which is the same for checking the valves. The super stiff seat and the top speed limitation are my only complaints. Show less

It's the best trail bike hands down!!! Weekend riders, beginners and amateur competitors buy this bike!! It's reasonably priced, very reliable and everyone makes accessories for these. You can't go wrong !! Show less
