Demo a VFR at your Honda dealer Dave. Get a REAL motorcycle. It was Cycle's "Bike of the Year" for like 10 years! My old 1987 is always happiest cruising at 110. But, I could flog it up to 150 if I wanted, and it was always willing. It's considered a sport-tourer now - they've got other, even faster sportbikes - some of them Honda 750's. You just bought a dumbass cruiser, that's all.

The VFR has the same engine that Honda won MotoGP championships with for years, the perfectly balanced 90 degree V-four. Sometimes it's so smooth and quiet, it seems like an electric motor.


It's also got amazing suspension. I have toured all around the western US, Baja, even once rode it from Oceanside. CA to Austin, TX and back. I put 8-10 hour riding days in on it.

Sorry your ride disappoints, but comparing your Shadow Spirit to my VFR is like comparing a Buick to a Porsche - the Buick might have more CI's, but it'll never catch the Porsche..
