2012 Honda Shadow Phantom (VT750C2B) Review

Minimalist Looks, Maximum Cool
Shadow Phantom. The darkest Shadow of them all.
The Shadow Phantom has got to be the most unique Shadow we’ve ever made. It’s an utterly stunning head-turner, and one look will tell you why: Blacked-out 745cc V-twin engine and black rims sporting matte silver highlights, bobbed fenders, spoke wheels, and beefy front fork. Then the exhaust note hits you, a deep, throaty pulse rumbling from dual exhausts. It’s hard to resist, we know. And downright impossible once you’ve seen its price tag. And best of all, the Shadow Phantom gets an estimated 56 miles per gallon*!

Sometimes a whisper is way louder than a shout. And that’s most definitely the case with the Shadow Phantom.
The 2012 Honda Shadow Phantom® celebrates the joy of back-to-basics motorcycling by delivering a V-twin ride packing a uniquely clean and uncluttered appearance. Check out the minimalist look and extensive blackout treatment that bring your eyeballs back to that very cool 745cc V-twin engine featuring the convenience and sophistication of Programmed Fuel Injection. By staking out the low-profile approach to cool, the Shadow Phantom reinforces the idea that bling ain't everything in a bike.

Availability: December 2011

The power that lurks in the Shadows.

The Shadow Phantom rocks a 745cc V-twin engine with Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI). The result? You get plenty of power, the kind of torque only a V-twin can offer, easy cold-weather starting and seamless, any-condition fuel delivery.

Send a message without saying a word.

Black is the color of confident power, and the Shadow Phantom has plenty of that. All-black engine, frame, rims, and handlebar—all ever so perfectly accented with matte silver highlights—makes this a machine everyone is going to take seriously.

Strong, silent type.

The Phantom’s durable and virtually maintenance-free shaft final drive ensures smooth, dependable power delivery to the asphalt. No hassles, no grease flying everywhere. Just smooth, quiet power transfer.

Best of all, it’s a Honda.

The Shadow Phantom embodies the minimalist, stripped-down ideal of custom cruisers past, delivering a uniquely clean and uncluttered look accented with extensive use of blacked-out features—the frame, engine, rims, and handlebars—bringing motorcyclists back to what it means to be cool. With its torque-rich 745cc V-twin engine featuring the sophisticated ease of Programmed Fuel Injection and three-valve/dual-plug combustion chamber construction serving up heaps of low-, mid-, and top-end muscle, the very affordably priced Shadow Phantom puts the thrill of saddling up one of the wickedest customs on pavement within reach of just about every rider.
