Which is better a Shadow 1100 or spirit tourer?
If you want a Shadow 1100 I would really suggest a newer Spirit model with the dual pin crank. They rev higher, make a few more horses and I’ve seen them get much more respectable mileage (around about 40 to 45 average). Fyi the Tourer has the dual pin crank so it would be a nice option. The 750 Shadows are great bikes and get awesome mileage.
