With my 2006 Honda Shadow 600cc,

I liked that it was a light bike to start riding with.

Did not like how it often stalled in first gear and tried to dive to the ground each time it did, and I was very uncomfortable on freeways because it felt too light and balance was not good for me at those speeds, always felt like it was ready to slide out from under me. Also hated only having four gears and couldn't carry my teen daughter without the bike struggling.

My 2006 America is my dream bike.

I LOVE everything about it, and it just keeps impressing me more with every trip I take on it.

The only thing I don't care for, is finding stuff to fuss over her easily. I have a few things on her that can't be found anymore, and it is a treasure hunt to look for cool stuff at times. All in all, I can honestly say like everyone else here, I like everything about her. She really is my dream bike and I expect years and years of reliable rides in our future.

Oh and I sometimes get stopped by people wanting to ask about her, when I would rather be riding, but that is also a like. Kind of feels good to have a bike people do a double take to admire.
