2003 Honda Shadow Sabre 1100

Here's what the Mustang shares daily driver duty with. I know what you're all thinking...Who?! On a Honda?! But I've always admired Honda bikes even if their cars aren't my cup of tea. The Sabre is the Shadow's performance-oriented model (I didn't know that when I bought it...) with hotter cams, low weight for an 1100cc bike, and shorter final drive gearing giving 1/4 mile times in the 13's with a good rider - small things get big really fast when I crack the throttle, so I can't argue with that. Plus, it's comfortable, reliable, handles well, and gets better than 50mpg (~4.7l/100km) on the highway. It does everything so well that that's its only fault...it kind of lacks personality. At least it has some really pretty ghost flames!

PS - the pictures don't do the paint job justice. It's really top notch - so deep you feel like you could fall into it and swim in it. In person in the setting sun, it's marvelous.
