Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2022 Honda Shadow Phantom, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of classic cruising while offering modern performance and comfort. Positioned in the custom-cruiser category, this bike is an enticing option for riders seeking a laid-back yet stylish ride that stands out on the road. With a starting MSRP of $7,899, the Shadow Phantom is an accessible choice for both seasoned riders and newcomers alike, delivering a blend of reliability and flair that only Honda can provide. At the heart of the Shadow Phantom lies a robust 745cc 52-degree V-twin engine that churns out smooth power with a compression ratio of 9.6:1. This liquid-cooled powerhouse is designed for optimal performance, providing an enjoyable ride whether you're navigating city streets or cruising along open highways. The bike’s five-speed gearbox, paired with a shaft drive, ensures seamless power delivery and low maintenance, while its impressive fuel efficiency of 56 mpg allows for longer journeys between fill-ups. The ergonomically designed chassis, with a rake of 34 degrees and a trail of 161 mm, promotes stability and confidence, making every ride enjoyable, regardless of distance. The Shadow Phantom is adorned with features that enhance both comfort and aesthetics. Its low seat height of 25.8 inches allows riders of varying heights to plant their feet firmly on the ground, while the dual shocks with five-position spring-preload adjustability ensure a smooth ride over various terrains. The matte black metallic or adventurous green color options give it a distinctive look, while the electric starter adds convenience to your riding experience. With a one-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, Honda ensures peace of mind for every owner. The attention to detail in the Shadow Phantom's design and engineering makes it not just a motorcycle, but a statement on two wheels. **
