2015 Honda Shadow

If you want people to listen to you, a whisper can be louder than a shout. That’s the idea here: If you want to stand out in a world full of chrome and bright colors, maybe more chrome isn’t the answer. Maybe less is. Take one look at the Honda® Shadow Phantom® and you’re going to know that’s true. The Phantom is for riders who want a great bike, who love to ride and who want to make a powerful statement. Its blacked-out 745cc V-twin engine, black rims with matte silver highlights, bobbed fenders, spoked wheels and beefy front fork all set it apart from most of the other customs on the road. The V-twin engine’s throaty exhaust sounds just right. And the Phantom®’s slightly more upright seating position is just right for both longer rides and boulevard cruising. Best of all? That has to be the Phantom’s low price tag. It’s time to go over to the dark side—in style, on a Honda® Phantom®.

Features may include:

• Spoked Wheels

Spoked black wheels and hubs feature a 120/90-17 front tire and 160/80-15 rear tire to complete the overall custom look.

• 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.

• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)

Forget about fiddling with a choke—the Shadows fuel injection system means no-hassle startups on cold mornings or at high altitudes, and optimal performance in any condition.

• Stylish Finish

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

• V-Twin Engine

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

• Five-Speed Transmission

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.

• Low Seat Height

Skimming the pavement at just 25.7 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.

• 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.
