2013 Honda Shadow Phantom VT750C2B Review

2013 Honda Shadow Phantom VT750C2B

You’ve never seen a Shadow like this…

The 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 black-out 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.

The first time you lay eyes on the Shadow Phantom, 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.

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.

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.

Hassle-Free Flying.

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.

2013 Honda Shadow Phantom VT750C2B Features and Benefits

Shaft Final Drive

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.

Shorty Front Fender – Minimalist front fender gives the Shadow Phantom a lighter, cleaner, more progressive look.

Front Disc Brake – If there’s one place you DON’T want retro performance, it’s when it comes to your brakes. That’s why we gave the Shadow Phantom a 296mm front disc for distinctly modern stopping power.

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

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.

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 lets you hop on the highway without revving the engine through the roof.

Three-Valve Dual-Plug Combustion Chamber

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 new 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.
