They used a 400cc Hondamatic as the motorcycle Prince rode in the movie "Purple Rain" they built another bike for the static shots, based on a four cylinder, but because Prince was so little, and didn't really know how to ride, they built the small automatic one for the shots he had to ride.😆

I've been a fan of Honda motorcycles since the early 80's, for years as a kid I rode Yamaha 2 Stroke Dirt Bikes, and around age 14 had a 175 street legal Deluxe Enduro, with electric start. My father came home one day with a Honda XL-350 and I instantly wanted it. His intent was to flip the bike, and he thought I was crazy, but I changed his mind.. He said I couldn't get it unless I could kick start it, incase the battery had issues while riding the trails. I was a slim kid, and without a compression release the 4-Stroke single cylinder "Thumper" would about thrown me if it didn't start when I kicked it over. I was successful and gave up my Yamaha to have it instead. I rode the hell out of it until I was about to turn 16 and get my Driver's License. He didn't want me riding on the Street with it, and knew I would.. I sold it to get the cash to buy a '68 Mustang. a few years later I ended up with a couple '70s Honda CB Inline-4 bikes. One of which I rebuilt and rode for awhile. I later bought a Suzuki DR-350 Dual Sport which I decked out with aftermarket parts and rode for a couple years while paying it off in '99. I wanted a "Cruiser" and my first plan was to build one, drooling over the pages of a motorcycle parts catalog creating a list of parts, S&S Motor, Baker 6-Speed Transmission, Frameset, Springer Frontend, Tanks & Tins, Spoked Wheels, and all the other parts necessary to build a complete bike.. I began to realize that the total cost would be way more than I wanted to spend, so I started looking for the "Perfect" Production Bike. I had considered various Harley models, but really wanted a light more nimble bike. Then I saw it in a magazine ad the '99 Kawasaki Vulcan 800, to me the Perfect Bike". I like the looks of it and started calling Dealers all over the North West to try and find one... (Before the days of Internet Searches). Unfortunately, many others also thought it was the "Perfect Bike" and all the Dealers I contacted were "Sold Out". I was seriously bummed out until a fellow College Instructor I worked with (who rode a Hot-Rodded V-Max) came in one day and said "They got your bike in Coure 'D Alene!" an off the wall Dealer "Specialty Sales and Service" sold boats, jet-skis, and Kawasaki Motorcycles. The next day I rode the Vulcan home... I did many upgrades to it, but was absolutely devastated 4/20/2000 to come out and find my bike was gone! Stolen! I was crushed and really went through a hard time dealing with it. I began the search for a new bike in '02 and visited the local Honda Shop in the small town of Pullman WA. There it was... I bright Yellow Honda Shadow Spirit 750. I really liked the low profile look, drag bars and ton's of chrome, I didn't even take it out for a test ride, I knew it was the bike I wanted, financed it, and rode it home. I put tons of aftermarket parts on it, and had some parts chrome plated, including the rear fender extension which I modified to install a HD chrome pyramid license plate bracket. I rode this bike to and from Arizona, and all over the NW. In '06 Again things went bad.. The day I received the Title in the Mail after making the final payment, about 1/2Hr later, and 1/2 Block from my apartment someone turned directly in front of me totaling the motorcycle, sending me over the top of the SUV and to the hospital in an ambulance.... After recovering, in '07 I ordered the exact same model from my local Honda Shop. while waiting for the bike to arrive, I ordered Cobra Slash-Cut Exhausts, Hyper-Charger, Scootworks Belt Drive Conversion, and tons of chrome aftermarket parts. I had also removed many of the custom parts from the wrecked '02 Shadow. That year I also went to Sturgis Bike Week, and purchased many more parts from Vendors there. I added tons of LED Lighting with remote control. I had a friend who did pin stripping do custom black flames with silver pinstripe outline to match the tanks Shadow Logo on the fenders and tank. during the next 3 years of annual trips to Sturgis I continued to add upgrades.. I had more than the cost of a new Harley invested, but the bike was stunning. I once had Jay Barbeiri the producer of "American Thunder" pose with the bike for a photo. I often had people tell me how amazing the bike looked. Once while in Deadwood during the Sturgis Rally, while it was parked with the endless rows of custom Harleys, I had a Law Enforcement Office come over to check out the bike, he said "This looks better than most of bike here..." I kept the bike for several years and unfortunately had to sell it during tough times. A decision I have regretted ever since. This year I really couldn't stand not having a motorcycle and began the search for the best '01-07 Honda Shadow 750 Spirit I could find. a couple of months ago I bought an '06 in good condition which already had aftermarket "Shorty" Exhaust and Carb Rejetting dialed in. I have slowly working to return it to pristine condition, with the various modifications and upgrades I want. The Honda Shadow Spirit VT750DC is my favorite bike by far. I prefer it even over the American Classic, Aero and later Phantom Shaft Drive models. The 750 is the perfect size for me, I don't want to have to muscle around a heavier bike. The times I have rode a friends 105th Anniversary Fat-Boy, in Daytona, and his Full Dress Screaming Eagle I was a little terrified. Especially when I rode over the mesh decking on the bridges around Daytona, and felt like it was riding over "Ball Bearings"!

I keep buying nice examples of these and CX500's to loan out to folks learning or re-entering riding after a long hiatus. I never have them long as a result because those folks buy them from me then quit riding after year because "life gets in the way" and forget their promise to sell it back to me. The Shadow 500 has better interstate manners (speeds over 70 mph) while the CX has so many, many, many spare parts because of the insanely long production. I would say the significantly downrated and overly styled VLX600 is the worst of the Shadows.

A large part of the reason for all the new models in the early 80s from Honda, (and the other Japanese manufactures) was the Honda/Yamaha war of 1979 to 1983. Yamaha made a move to become the number one motorcycle manufacturer, both factories were releasing new models at alarming rate, flooding the market and forcing the other two, (Suzuki & Kawasaki) to do the same to try and compete, it ended when Yamaha called a truce after nearly being bankrupted.

I love my '83 500C. Here's why. It's cheap on gas... if I drive it the speed limit. I'm 200 pounds. I trek 30 pounds worth of tools with me at any given time to fix this 40 year old beast that's slowly falling apart. If I drive it the speed limit, I get 4.5L/100km. If I drive it the way I like to drive it, it's more like 6.5L/100km. I can confirm that it will move it's 400lb max capacity to a speed that would have my licence pulled from me on the spot, but not much faster unless I'm downhill with wind. It was complete and ran only a couple hundred kilometres a year when i bought it, and it was, indeed, cheap. Here's why I hate it. It's 40 years old, and is falling apart. I made the mistake of thinking I could ride this bike every day in the 5 months a year I can drive a bike in Canada. Every couple hundred km, something falls apart on it, and I'm thankful when it's a simple fix I can tabernakostiwatisdismerde. Guys who have this bike in... lets be generous and call it, a 'custom' condition, want $3000 for a bike that's missing it's airbox, it's exhaust, it's body panels, it's cluster, it's rediculous to find a parts bike, nonetheless parts. It's not worth fixing it. And while I want to preserve what pathetic excuse for integrity it has... It's absolutely not worth the money to do so. Here's why I love it... It's mine. And it gets my knees in the breeze. It needs my love to keep it going, and I love when she squirts fluids all over me. (Side note, the '83 had single discs in the front. I can confirm that it doesn't need more stopping power.

The FT500 ascot was just a slightly modified XR/XL trailbike 500cc single, minus the kick start (electric only) styled as a flat track. The brochures of the time said that FT stood for "Flat Track". They were a flop, apart from not selling very well, they suffered from failure of the electric starters rear support bearing, due to poor oil feed.

Back in the early 90's I bought an 84(?) Shadow. It was my first street bike and the only thing I could afford after my Fiat Spyder (money pit) shit the bed. It was alright except evey time you went WOT it would lose spark. Just putting back and forth to work and 30 miles an back to see my girlfriend it did fine. After a year or so, I sold it (the guy that bought it swapped out the "brain box" and claimed it ran great) to fund a cage purchase. It wasn't the greatest, but it did instill in me a love for bikes. Took a while but I finally bought a new '03 Spirit that is still rocking an rolling to this day with about 150k miles on it (no speedo, I've got 1 of your peanut tanks on it, so just an educated guess) and 3 years ago, I added a '10 Fury for a little more oomph. I've considered a Harley, but the reliability issue always talks me out of it.

Wrong ... wrong ... wrong ... I guarantee that you never owned one or rode one. I had a new '83 blue one, loved it to death. First off, let's get the easy shit out of the way. You made three references to the "Comstar wheels". WRONG. Neither the VT Ascot nor the Shadow had Comstar wheels, they had nice, cast five spoke wheels. Comstars were five stamped spokes riveted to the rim. Originally silver and smooth side out, then black and tunnel side out. Next, the instrument cluster was indeed jet fighter like and looked great {opinion, of course}, went well the 80's square headlight and such too. Thanks to the driveshaft, the bike had an almost turbo-like whine that sounded great and no chain or belt to **** with. As for performance, it was a docile 500cc street bike, not a rice rocket. That said, an Ascot will cruise effortlessly at 75 all day long in sixth gear and not even break a sweat, that works for most of us. Lastly, it only took Harley Davidson 30 years to copy the Ascot right down to the exhaust, only with a lot more weight and a lot more money. Great bike!

I picked up a 86 vt1100 shadow for 800 on market place. It ... Needed a lot of work and I haven't really had the motivation to get it all together again. It's still a pile of parts but at least I think it won't leak oil anymore. And yes it IS hard to find certain parts for this, and specific diagrams. KZitem doesn't really have as much a wealth of mechanical tutorials like the 500cc one, and unfortunately for me, i am not a super mechanical person lol. But if there's a KZitem video on the exact thing I want to do? I can do that to my car or my other bike
