I was looking around for several weeks on craiglist and countless moto listing sites before and after graduating the MSF course. One or two bikes kept popping up in my area and were gone the next day, so after narrowing down my choices to a couple V stars and Shadows that were 45min+ away my father came home with a newspaper from Shaw AFB.
In it was an ad. for an '01 Shadow Spirit 750. I was intimidated by the 750, but enticed that the guy was right around the corner from me. I looked it up and found out it's easy to handle, has a low seat and has 5 gears compared to the 600's that have 4. My father told me a friend of his that rides says he didn't like the Yamaha he had, and that I should check this out (a V star was at the top of my list). Took a drive to the guy's place and saw it was taken care of, and has some blue LED lights for night riding. The price was right, and the mileage was low. Baring in mind how fast bikes disappear around my area, I took a day to think everything over and ended up taking her home. Hell, the only thing I don't like about it is how quiet it is, but that'll be taken care of soon.
It's interesting seeing everyone's replies.
