I believe there's more "Black Shadow"s running around than ever left the factory.

But having said that, I can't remember the differences between the Rapide and the Shadow

Lots of very similar conversations had with wizened old (ex) bikers,

Not many other bikes there, apart from a couple of small ones.

That's because they (& the 250 twin) all grenaded the engine 10 minutes after leaving the dealership. Absolutely the worst engine Kawasaki ever came up with. The '81 250 I owned snapped the crank in half.
