The Darkest Shadow Of Them All…

The VT750 Phantom is anything but traditional. Raw, stripped down and ready for action, the Phantom offers a completely different look and riding experience than other cruisers. Blacked-out components and matte finishes abound, and when combined with the gunfighter seat and bobbed fenders, the Phantom has an almost sinister presence. As tough as it looks on the outside, the Phantom wont fight you when its time to ride. Utilizing the ever-popular VT750 powertrain and chassis the Phantom offers light, easy handling and the weight reduction that comes with the “bob-job” adds a nice boost to performance.

VT750 Phantom a tough guy with a heart of gold.

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—with a 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.

Check out the minimalist look and extensive black-out treatment that makes the Shadow Phantom® stand out by standing back. This is a bike that celebrates the joy of back-to-basics styling with an uncluttered appearance, while also delivering the essence of the V-twin ride experience. Credit that very cool 745cc V-twin engine featuring the convenience and sophistication of Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) for its modern performance. By staking out the low-profile approach to cool, the Shadow Phantom reinforces the idea that bling ain’t everything. Colors: Black, Grey Metallic; Price: $8240; Availability: December
