Honda file

After skipping the 1991 model year, the standard Shadow 1100 returned for 1992, now with a Made in USA stamp and otherwise largely unchanged styling. It kept the long, low chassis, shaft drive and chrome-rich finish of the 1987-on bike. Its appeal was relaxed cruising and low-rev pull rather than sharp handling, and it was only sold in the UK through grey imports.
