Howdy all
Just joined up and thought I should say Hi.
Im from Mandurah way in WA. I'm still hunting for my first Shadow.
Hoping to find a 1100 for a good price - around $4,000 - $5,000.
I prefer the look of the 750 with a larger front wheel but want the extra poke the 1100 has so figured I'd go for the 1100 then see if I can swap the front wheel later on.
Let me know if you're in WA and have a bike for sale so I can get mobile and come for a ride with ya'll.

Welcome Kane. Plenty of good members over there to help you out mate. Pity your not here in QLD. There is one near me for that price. Low mileage but it is a 98 model. Well kept. Pic in the Bike For Sale thread. Stay safe mate Cheers Ray GYMPIE QLD

Welcome Kane, You will be hard pressed to find an 1100 at all never mind over here in the barren state! keep an eye on ebay, it will ultimatly be cheaper to buy one interstate and either ride it or ship it back. I got my VTX from melbourne and shipped it over, was still several grand cheaper than buying one over here. Ask Moe, he goes over at least once a year and buys bikes over east, drives them back and still comes out even when he gets fed up of them a year later !! PM me your number so i can put you in my personal contact list

Thanks everyone for your welcome's. I picked up a '96 vt1100c2 ACE for a very reasonable $4250 on New Year's Day and spent the rest of the day polishing and shining everything. I'm a very happy boy. The bike fits me like a glove, I feel at home. My wife has called it "The Mistress" and I think it's going to stick. Looking forward to meeting some of you when I can make it along to my first ride, hopefully on the 12th if I can find a new front tyre in time (I found a small scar and a developing bulge yesterday). Anyone know a good place for tyres at a good price?

Cheers Ray

Mistress huh, My wife called mine that until she got her own bike. Now nothing is said. Guess she does not want similar comments about her bike.
