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.
