Honda’s Shadow Phantom makes a point of standing out by not trying to stand out. In a world of look-at-me noise, its understated, confident style is a perfect match for what this bike is all about: performance, ride quality, practical muscle, and above all straight-up riding fun. Subtle visual highlights include spoked wheels, black rims, bobbed fenders and matte black accents. Then there’s the engine, a blacked-out 745cc V-twin with a throaty twin exhaust, built to deliver the wide torque spread every cruiser rider wants. New colors this year keep it fresh, and the low seat height and pullback handlebar keep it comfortable. Pure Honda, pure performance, pure cool. The Shadow Phantom is exactly what you want from a modern cruiser.

Features may include:

PERFORMANCE

• V-TWIN ENGINE

Nothing pumps out the torque like a bold V-twin. The Phantom’s power makes it perfect for around-town cruising, commutes and casual weekend-long rides.

STYLE

• STYLISH FINISH

Bobber-inspired styling with extensive blacked-out and matte finishes.

• SHORTY FRONT FENDER

Minimalist front fender gives the Shadow Phantom a lighter, cleaner, more progressive look.

COMFORT

• LOW SEAT HEIGHT

Skimming the pavement at just 25.8 inches, the Phantom’s low seat height makes flat-footing it at stoplights or in parking lots a breeze. And the Phantom’s narrow seat/tank junction makes it feel even lower.

• GUNFIGHTER SADDLE

Sleek, one-piece gunfighter-type seat is comfortable and looks great too.

DRIVETRAIN

• 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.

• 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.

ENGINEERING

• 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 Phantom a 296mm front disc for distinctly modern stopping power.
