UNDERSTATED, BUT NEVER OVERSHADOWEDFrom its blacked-out V-twin engine to its subtle chrome accents, the Honda Shadow Phantom is the understated over-achiever that proves confidence can be quiet. Cruiser details like pullback handlebar, a low center of gravity and approachable seat-height offer a ride quality that backs up the bike’s stealthy swagger. It’s designed to be comfortable, with a final shaft drive that’s easy to maintain and a wide torque spread that lets you enjoy every mile. The Shadow Phantom may look elusive, but with this modern cruiser, fun is never hard to find.

• LOW SEAT HEIGHT: 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.

• SHAFT FINAL DRIVE: Clean, efficient, proven, and 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.
• FIVE-SPEED TRANSMISSION: The Shadow Phantom’s wide-ratio five-speed transmission lets you cruise the boulevard at a low, unhurried pace, yet allows you hop on the highway without revving the engine through the roof.

• 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.
• 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.
• PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION (PGM-FI): Forget about fiddling with a choke—the Shadow's fuel injection system means no-hassle startups on cold mornings or at high altitudes, and optimal performance in any condition.
