Ok /o/, help me pick from 2 donercycles.
Bike A is a 2005 Vstar 650 for $1200. I like the price, and it leaves me some extra cash that I could use to bob it out. But I could easily spend any savings on customizing it, and I could easily out grow a 650. (Pic related)
Bike B is a 2002 Honda shadow 1100 for 2100. I'm used to 1100s, and I like how it currently looks, but still may want to bob it or bag it.
So do i spend a little money for a bike I'm not thrilled about but it'll get the job done, or just spend the extra cash for something that looks better and is a size I like more?

If it's not your first bike I'd get the shadow.
That being said, the 96-98 shadow American classic edition is much cooler.

is the shadow shaft drive? less efficient but I would pay more to not lube chains, I'm never as 'on top of it' as I should be

>>25303
They're both shaft drive

Whenever there is a choice between Honda and not-Honda, the correct answer is Honda.

I would want to make the 650 into a mini bagger, but that would require a batwing, saddle bags, and a different rear fender. Would also want a new exhaust and would have to pay a shop to re-jet the carbs. Between all that, I'm sure it would cost more than the shadow cost. But it might not?
