2019 Honda Shadow Aero 750 ABS

TRADITIONAL STYLE. MODERN PERFORMANCE.
Cruiser-class motorcycles are a great choice. You get a relaxed riding position. It’s easy to put your feet down at stoplights. Their big, twin-cylinder engine makes lots of power down low. And they just look the way a lot of people think a motorcycle should.
That’s what the Honda Shadow Aero is all about. The look? That speaks for itself. Streamline modern meets art deco meets 1950s American Classic. Features like its spoked wheels, full fenders and long, chromed mufflers are all about taking it easy and looking good while you’re doing it. But the Aero rider also gets some thoroughly modern performance courtesy of this bike’s 745cc V-twin engine, specially tuned for low-revving torque. Maintenance-reducing features like shaft final drive make this motorcycle truly easy to own. Plus, the Aero is a huge bargain, giving you a big-bike ride without the big-bike price.

INNOVATIONS

  • 2-INTO-2 EXHAUST SYSTEM: Sleek pipes feature bullet-style mufflers for that classic cruiser style of yesteryear. Large-diameter head pipes and 2-into-2 system design combine to put out true, V-twin cruiser sound.
  • COMFORTABLE SADDLE: Broad, low-slung solo seat features a detachable passenger seat.
  • SHAFT FINAL DRIVE: Clean, efficient, proven, low-maintenance. Shaft final drive is the perfect choice for a machine like this, and for riders who pile on the miles. You never have to worry about lubrication or adjustment out on the road. And an added plus: it helps keep your bike cleaner, too.
  • LOW SEAT HEIGHT: Skimming the pavement at just 25.9 inches, the Aero’s low seat height makes flat-footing it at stoplights or in parking lots a breeze. And the Aero’s narrow seat / tank junction makes it feel even lower.
  • THREE-VALVE, DUAL PLUG COMBUSTION CHAMBER: It's the best of both worlds: the three-valve combustion chambers used on many of our V-twin cruisers feature two intake valves and one exhaust, helping them breathe efficiently to boost both horsepower and torque.
  • FIVE-SPEED TRANSMISSION: Wide-ratio five-speed transmission lets you cruise the boulevard at a low, unhurried pace, yet allows you hop on the highway without revving the engine through the roof.
  • V-TWIN ENGINE: Nothing pumps out the torque like a big V-twin. The Aero’s power makes it perfect for both around-town cruising, commutes and casual weekend-long rides.
  • CHROME HEADLIGHTS: Chrome headlights include cylinder-head cover, air-cleaner cover, engine sidecovers, brake and clutch-lever brackets, rear brake pedal, shift lever, handlebar, rear shock covers and more.
  • PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION (PGM-FI): Forget about fiddling with a choke—the Shadow's fuel injection system means no-hassle startups on cold mornings or at high altitudes, and optimal performance in any condition.
  • FRONT-DISC BRAKE: If there’s one place you DON'T want retro performance, it’s your brakes. That’s why we gave the Shadow Aero a 296 mm front disc for distinctly modern stopping power. Additionally, our ABS model comes with Honda's Anti-Lock Brake System.
  • FULL FRONT FENDER: Wide metal front fender gives the Aero a classic styling touch.
  • SPOKED WHEELS: Spoked wheels give the Aero a classic look.

  • Clean-burning four-stroke engine easily achieves Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions regulations (eligible for red sticker registration in California).

2016 Honda VRF1200X

BLOW OUT PRICED 2016!! WAS $15,599 NOW $11,599
You probably know someone like this. Maybe it’s your brother-in-law, or your neighbor, or some guy at your workplace. He’s always telling you what he’s going to do . . . but he never really does anything.
But there’s another kind of guy too—someone who turns every day into something that’s fun. Every weekend he comes back with a story to tell, even if he never crossed a state line.
Honda’s new VFR®1200X is built for people who know adventure isn’t someplace you go, it’s what you do getting there. It’s an excellent machine for exploring the world around you, and doing it in comfort, confidence, and style. Sporty, athletic, nimble enough for around-town cruising or tight winding back roads, it’s also big enough to reel in those highway miles, and see the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, and the Alamo all in the same trip.
Where will a new 2016 Honda VFR1200X take you? Wherever adventure calls.

Trail and Wheeling Tips


These simple off road driving tips may save your skin or make the difference between a miserable day at the trails and having a blast.

Buddy System

Drive with a buddy if you can. If you get stuck, you have some help, and if there is an emergency, you’re not out there all alone. By driving with a buddy, I don’t just mean a friend sitting in the car with you – that’s your co-pilot. I mean, drive with an entourage – it’s safer especially in mountain or desert excursions that you have multiple vehicles.  A buddy with a winch, tow strap or hi-jack is a great buddy to have, and if you have this equipment, you will be a great buddy to others.

Drive in your comfort zone

Don’t do something you’re not comfortable with. Your jeep, truck or off road vehicle no matter how new, fancy or decked out it is, is only as good as the person driving it. Get some experience under your belt and don’t expect your vehicle to be a magic trail machine. A buddy who has done the trails or can help you “spot” your line is invaluable in staying in your comfort zone.

Have a co-pilot

Your co-pilot is your spotter, navigator, DJ, drink getter and all-around general superstar helper. This person is there to help you stay focused on the trail/road. They’re the ones who will get out in tough spots and help you drive up and line up – find your line to have the safest, best route. They’re also better at being the DJ, checking the map and taking photos letting you focus on the road and safety of everyone in the vehicle and everyone around you.

Find your line

Your line is an imaginary line that covers your wheels – where you want them to go and where they need to go and where your vehicle clearance needs to be. Your co-pilot is excellent at getting out and helping you see what can’t be seen. Simple hand signals and clear communications are great in staying on this line. Just remember, we’re all human, and you’re driving thousands of pounds on unmaintained roads (or volunteer maintained trails), and shit will happen. Stop, take a breath, re-assess, communicate and try again.  Don’t stick to a line at all costs; it’s better to back up, try something new and re-assess as needed.

Be Flexible

This one sort of wraps up everything from above. Be flexible. Know that things will break, the weather will change, routes may be closed, trails may be closed, and things may not go as planned – but be flexible to change your plans. The worst thing that can happen is you push yourself to do something you shouldn’t do.  If you’re in a rental Jeep driving the alpine loop, and you have to be back to turn the vehicle in or face a late fee – call in and let them know you will be late but you’re making your way back – Don’t end up rushing yourself and putting yourself or your party at risk.
If you find yourself getting stuck on the trail, having a hard time or just trying to brute force yourself across the trail, it may be time to re-think your plans and re-asses just how safe or smart it is to continue.  Take some time out, find a safe place to park and get yourself together. If you followed our advice of having a buddy and a co-pilot talk to them and get a consensus on moving forward, trying an alternate route or turning around. It’s better to be safe and flexible than and to stay within your comfort zone than to start making mistake after mistake and ruining your experience and your day – or much worse. In the end, you may just have to do that upgrade you always wanted before you can conquer that trail. That isn’t a bad thing to learn and its best to learn and know this before you make expensive mistakes that may prevent you from upgrading as you want and having to spend money to fix what you don’t want to fix.

Motorsport Gear 101


For some people, this is what it’s all about – gearing up.  You know what I mean, putting on those 50″ light bars, swapping out from factory tires to those 35″ MTs and customizing your vehicle to make it yours. We love gearing up but don’t forget your 4×4 out of the factory is usually a very capable machine, unless you’re seeking extreme rock crawling or are heading out to difficult trails and crazy adventures I recommend getting to know your vehicle before you gear it up for the sake of gearing it up. Have some fun while you drool over your future possibilities.

Great 4×4 Upgrades

Light bars & addon lights – If you do lots of early mornings or late arrivals – that light bar may be a wise investment. Just remember they can be noisy if you use your vehicle on the road at highway speeds. These will help you illuminate the way and provide additional safety while out in the evening hours.
Mud Tires, All terrain tires,  hybrid tires – If you’re looking for some help on choosing the best offroad tires, check out our off road tire guide – its focused on Jeep but applies almost universally to any vehicle. Moving up to 33″ or larger tires can open up a world of opportunity for rock crawling or adventurous trail riding. The added clearance helps your vehicle climb over obstacles, and specific tire designs can help improve traction and control based on your mission.


Skid plates & body armor – If your adventure includes rock crawling or driving over extremely rough terrain, why don’t you check out our in-depth article on steel vs. aluminum skid plates Skid plates are protective armor installed to help protect critical components and help you keep you on the trails or climbing those rocks.

Gear yourself up

All of your focus may be on the trail or your vehicle, but don’t forget about yourself and your passengers. Wear comfortable shoes, at worst you may be hiking out, at best, you will be comfortable as can be. Dress for the weather and the occasion – if you’re heading up into alpine summits prepare for all seasons anytime of the year – it could be cold and rainy one second, snowing the next or blustery and dry.

Preparing for Your Off-road Adventure!



Preparation is key to a successful adventure. Before heading out, give your vehicle a look over/inspection. Pilots call this the walk-around, and it’s a good habit to get into. When your up flying you don’t want anything obviously broken to make things worse, same when you’re out wheeling across a summit – you want to know and rely on your equipment and get to know it well. So get in the habit of having a walk around before you hit the trails.

Check your fluids

Check your radiator levels. 4×4 wheeling puts a lot of stress on your engine, and you want to make sure to have proper coolant levels. Coolant should be properly mixed and depending on your location may be seasonal mixtures. Follow what your car manufacturer recommends.

Check your windshield washer fluids & top off. Dirty windows are a sign of having fun on the trail, but seeing out the window is more important. Make sure your windshield wiper blades are in good shape too.

Check your oil. Some vehicles are notorious for burning oil. Top off. If its time for your oil change, get that done before you go off on any long trips.

Check Oil – verify its at right level and doesn’t look dirty
Check Coolant Levels – should be up to marked level
Check wiper fluid – top off
Verify No leaks, broken hoses, spills or oil spots

Check your vehicle

Walk around and inspect your vehicle. Make sure everything is secured, not leaking fluids, fastened down and sturdy.

Check your tires, make sure they’re up to recommended inflation for getting to your trails and if you’re so inclined, drop air pressure while on a trail or out crawling – just remember to “air up” when done. You do NOT want to drive highway speeds with under-inflated tires.

If you have to drive to your location, make sure your sway bar disconnects / quick disconnects are connected and locked. When you get to your off-roading location, depending on requirements, you can disconnect these. Just be SURE to reconnect before you head back out on highway speeds.

Make sure your headlights & taillights all function and work. Headlights should be adjusted for proper height.

Regular service – The list for checking your vehicle can go on forever. Make sure you have your vehicle regularly serviced according to the owners manual that is usually sitting in pristine condition in your glove box.

Plan for safety


Make sure all seats, seatbelts, restraints, and safety devices are fully functioning. If you take your doors off make it a habit of verifying everyone is belted in before you even put it in drive! If you’re driving without doors/roof make sure everyone in the vehicle has proper wind, eye, and ear protection as well as sunscreen and bug repellent.

2017 Honda CRF50F

eastbay_motor_2
 Give Them A Great Start.
Bet you remember your first motorcycle ride like it was yesterday. Bikes are a great part of life—they make everything a little more fun and a little more memorable. So when it’s time to get your young Red Rider on his or her first bike, make sure you pick a machine they’ll have nothing but great memories on: A Honda CRF50F.

The CRF50F offers up an unbeatable combination of features: Its tough, reliable four-stroke engine develops smooth, easy-to-use power. Its three-speed transmission uses an automatic clutch, so a rider learns to shift, but never has to worry about stalling. Its tough suspension stands up to youthful enthusiasm. And for adults, the CRF50F makes sense too: an adjustable throttle limiter lets you tailor the power to the appropriate skill level, and the proven reliability means more time riding and less time taken up by maintenance and repairs.

eastbay_motor_3
Innovations
  • ADJUSTABLE THROTTLE LIMITER: Set the top speed by turning a screw. That helps keep new riders from going too fast, too soon, and lets you match the CRF50F's power output to the rider's skill level.
  • KEYED IGNITION: A removable key helps ensure younger riders can’t ride without an adult’s supervision. Got their homework done early? Let’s go riding!
  • DURABLE, LOW-MAINTENANCE ENGINE: If there’s one thing you can count on with a Honda, it’s the engine. The CRF50F Honda four-stroke engine is famously reliable. That cuts down on frustration and hassles.
  • RUGGED STEEL FRAME: New riders are hard on equipment, especially when they’re just starting out. That’s why the CRF50F uses a strong steel frame that’s built to handle the bumps and dings of off-road riding.
  • AUTOMATIC CLUTCH: Because there's no clutch lever to master, new riders don’t have to worry about stalling. That makes the CRF50F the perfect tool for learning to shift. In addition, the smooth transmission offers three gear ratios.
