The 2011 Honda Shadow RS falls into the Japanese manufacturer's lineup of Shadow cruisers, along with the blacked-out Shadow Phantom, the big-fendered Shadow Aero, and the street-rod inspired Shadow Spirit 750 C2.

Priced at $7,999 (or $8,240 for a 2012 model), the Honda Shadow RS is positioned as a back-to-basics alternative to bikes like the iconic Harley-Davidson 883 Iron Sportster, or its more beginner-friendly stablemate, the Sportster SuperLow.

Let's take a ride and see how Honda performs.
