 I think they start to make VTX in 2002,so if it's a 1995 its a VT1100.

Nobody gives a crap about the quad specs/make/model/etc?  lol

tell us more, so we can properly speculate the pros and cons.

If he doesn't use it... then go for it! 
I've ridden a lot of those mid-late 90s Shadows and they are a lot like our old machines... classic styling and enjoyable to ride.  Smooth motor, easy torque curve for someone getting back into riding, but plenty of power, nonetheless.

My dad had a mid 90s Shadow 1100 "American Classic Edition."
In fact, he was riding it when he passed. I've been looking for another since then.
They're solid bikes. Big v-twin, low to the ground, common tire sizes, Honda reliability, shaft driven.
Been seeing them for 2-3k for 15-25k miles around here. Not the right color for me, though.
