2001 Honda Shadow ACE Deluxe

Got this last week and it's just a bit small for me even with the custom seat.

11,300 miles
custom Saddlemen seat
sissy bar
blue and silver
great shape, always garaged

I'm looking for $3500 or trade for an older but good condition GL1200 or GL1500. I'd also consider a Vespa GTS250.

I'm in Northfield just N of Chicago and if you want to do a trade I can deliver the bike within 200 miles of Chicago - contingent on your trade being driveable back home of course!

Oh look, a reply! Sorry to get your hopes up... :0)

Are you definitely set on getting rid of it, or might you be interested in some mods if it doesn't go?

I thought you meant small as in size; I was talking about mods to the pegs, etc..

Two words: STEALTH VESPA. They'll never believe what passed 'em, and your speeding tickets will get dismissed when you simply show the registration to the judge. "Cop says I was doing 90 MPH... It says here I ride a Vespa. Uh... Yeah?"
