The first time you lay eyes on the 2011 Honda Shadow Phantom VT750C2, it’s impossible to keep yourself from staring. Gawking, really. And wishing you had one in your garage. After all, this is the most unique Shadow we’ve ever made, an utterly stunning head-turner with its blacked-out 745cc V-twin engine and black rims sporting matte silver highlights, bobbed fenders, spoke wheels, and beefy front forks. 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.

Minimalist Art.

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 torquey 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.

Special Delivery.

The Shadow Phantom 745cc V-twin engine features Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI), ensuring easy cold-weather starting and seamless, any-condition fuel delivery.

Black to the Future.

Bad boys wear black, and the Shadow Phantom, with its all-black engine, frame, rims, and handlebar—all ever so perfectly accented with matte silver highlights—is a very bad boy indeed.

Hassle-Free Flying.

Durable and virtually maintenance-free shaft final drive ensures smooth, dependable power delivery to the asphalt from the Shadow Phantom’s beefy 745cc V-twin.

Features

Fuel Injection – The Phantom’s PGM-FI system ensures optimal fuel delivery, and thus performance, utilizing sensors for intake-port pressure, engine-coolant temperature, intake-air temperature and atmospheric pressure.

745cc V-twin Engine – The Shadow Phantom’s liquid-cooled, 745cc V-twin produces remarkable power across a broad rpm range, perfect for cruising or commuting, while its long-stroke crankshaft design helps create that strong V-twin pulse and low-rpm torque.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you—one look and you won’t be able to tear your eyes off the gorgeous Interstate custom. Like its equally stunning Stateline stable mate, this 1312cc V-twin is the ultimate expression of progressive retro cruiser styling, with one big difference: It’s built to go the (long) distance, with touring features like floorboards, roomy leather-clad saddlebags, and a custom windscreen.

So we won’t mind if we catch you staring. In fact, we fully expect it.

Cross-town or Cross-country, this bike’s made to cruise.

The Interstate is a looker, a stunner—first and foremost. Better still, since this is a Honda, you know the beauty runs much more than skin deep, showcasing engineering and innovative features like that beefy 1312cc 52º V-twin with Programmed Fuel Injection and smooth, maintenance-free shaft drive. A plush, deep-dish saddle, full-size floorboards and a custom touring windscreen make all-day cruising a breeze, while roomy saddlebags let you pack enough for … well, that’s completely up to you.

Sonic Vroom.

With its potent 1312cc, 52º V-twin, the Interstate delivers strong low- and mid-range torque, ample passing power, and a pulsing exhaust note that is downright hypnotic.

Long-Range Luxury.

No matter where, or how long, your ride takes you, the Interstate will get you there in style and comfort, thanks to spacious saddlebags, full-size floorboards and a large, custom windscreen.

Brake Time.

A 336mm front and a 296mm rear disc brake ensure strong stopping power and control.

New for 2011

•Dark Red Metallic color joins Black.

•Optional ABS and CBS will be available – color TBD.

Hardcover Saddlebags – Roomy and built with stylish leather overlaying a protective hard case and cover, the Interstate’s saddlebags are big enough to pack for a long trip—and durable enough to take it.

Shaft Final Drive - The shaft final drive is quiet, clean, and has been uniquely integrated into the overall design.

Low-Slung Saddle – Measuring in at a low, easy-to-get-the-boots-down-when-stopping 26.7 inches, the Interstate’s wide, cushy seat not only enhances the comfort level, but the styling as well.
