Nice bike, Crompsin! I have to agree with everything you said. My son was looking at the 750 Honda and found the 1100 Shadow Sabre (your bike only in black) and since it matched the bike I had at the time, it was a no brainer, he's thrilled with it.

Jimellow, you said you just completed the safety course and are looking for a used bike because you will likely drop it a few times? That scares me. If you completed the course successfully, dropping the bike is something you shouldn't even be thinking about. Start out on the back roads until you are comfortable with the bike, and watch out for the cagers, sometimes they just don't see us on the bikes. I'm not sure where you are in Pennsylvania, but I ride along the Delaware quite often, nice ride. Post a picture of whatever you purchase and I'll be looking for you on the road.
