Q: Which bike is the best for a beginner?

A: The Shadow's three models offer some good choices, two with 1100cc engines and one with a 750cc engine. The Spirit 750cc is probably the best choice for the beginner because it has a smaller frame, it is lightweight and not as long as the other models.

A: The 1100cc Shadow Sabre is built to satisfy the more experienced rider. Its big engine lets it do everything expected of a big bike, and its long wheel base gives it a smooth ride. Its disc brakes for front and rear wheels give the rider the control needed for excellent driving.
