You should be able to pull away from any of those bikes. (not sure about the Shadow, never rode one) I have ridden or ridden with the rest and none of them will out run a good running BA or SM given your weight. The SM or BA will do either back road or slab easily. Plent of ground clearance for cornering if not lowered. If you want carbs in the US you need one 08 or older and for the much sexier old style tank with knee indents you need 06 or older.10,000 miles in a drop in the bucket for one of these bikes and $5,000 or less is a reasonable expectation although a little more is no big deal to me if you like the bike.It will give you many miles of trouble free riding.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains. Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
