1999 honda shadow ace 26k asking $2600?
I think it's overpriced. It has new tires and oil change, but I think it's still too much. This guy has been trying to sell it since beginning of June and originally wanted more. I bought a 99 deluxe shadow for $2400 with 5k three years ago. This one has 5 times the miles. I looked up book value, trade in was 1500 and retail 2300, so I figured 1900 would be fair. The only reason why i'm interested is because it's so close to where I live. Do you think 1900 is a fair price.

I think $2600 seems a little high but not out of the question. I live in California where bikes might be worth more because you can ride all year long here, but I often see mid-2000s Shadows going for $4000 (well, that's the asking price. I don't know what they sell for.) The Shadow is very little changed in all these years, so it's not old-looking, it's not a parts orphan, and other things that drive down prices.
Motorcycles are like sports cars in that the Blue Book value really means nothing. They're worth whatever you can get someone to pay for them, and a popular model is worth more! The Shadow is pretty popular!
26k is not exactly high mileage either. That's less than 2k miles per year.
You could certainly offer him 1900 and see what happens. You might reach a compromise somewhere in between.
I would only pay 1500 for that. Its the ONE Honda Shadow that you don't want. It uses a common crank pin [like HD]and as result has less HP than the other Shadow models.
- Bike guys. 92 Honda Shadow. 22,000 miles. Asking $1200. Good deal or not? I'm totally new to street bikes, although I've ridden dirtbikes a lot. Just looking for any insights on the bike itself (I've heard they're fun and reliable) and thoughts on the pricing. I'm not looking for websites or anything, I've already done some research. I'm looking for actual experience.
- I have a 1996 Honda Shadow ACE. It won't start even though the battery is charged. What can I do? I just got the battery charged and the bike still won't start. I can hear it trying but it just won't catch. I know very little about engines but could it be the fuel pump or carburetor that needs to be cleaned or replaced. If so, how do I do that?
- Can you put harley wide glide forks on a honda shadow ace 1100? Both forks are 41mm. I'm trying to put a 21" front tire on the bike and I'm weighing my options on what I should do. If the forks can set into the triple tree with not much problem Luke only having to make shims then that's the way to go.
- 99 Honda Shadow VT750 Ace Deluxe? When I turn the key on I don't have any power and I have checked all fuses and none of them seem to be blown
