2010 Honda Shadow Phantom opinions?

I'm thinking about getting a 2010 Honda Shadow Phantom and I was just wondering if anyone had an opinion about the bike and it's performance. It's a 750cc and it will be my first motorcycle. I'm 6' tall and weigh 170

Not a bad bike, not really suited to all-day or long highway rides. May be a bit small for height, should handle weight just fine. Fast enough and powerful enough for novice rider in traffic.

Might be a little too much for a beginner bike. Not to bad for riding at speed but a bit heavy for slower places like parking lots where balance is really needed.

Should get a slightly smaller machine to learn on.

  • Would a Honda Shadow Phantom 750 be a begginer motorcycle? OK. I'm 16 years old I've bought all the nessecary gear I got that idea of watching cyclecruza's squid videos and didn't want that to happen to me. Well because I shouldn't look up to my dad who rides a Harley 1200 who only wears a helment a t shirt and just jeans. I know not to go over the speed limit but all I need to know if thus good first bike.
  • Shadow phantom or street 750? I'm looking to upgrade from a Honda rebel which one do you think is a better overall bike and is safest for a 17 year old thanks guys
  • I have a 2014 honda shadow phantom been having issues with my tail light Brake light works but the steady back light isn't working only shines when i brake electric problems maybe? Guessing it isn't connected but can't take the bolts off from the back to get to the electrical to the tail light and not coming off. Some advice on how to get it properly working would be most appreciated
  • Problem with o2 sensors in my Honda. Any opinions? I have a 2005 Honda civic ex I've failed emissions twice because of my o2 sensors not being able to connect to the fuse without shutting down my car. Has anyone ever heard of this happening before? I was told by a cop that it was illegally sold to me If this is the case. No one seems to know exactly what to do or even want to Deal with it.
