2010 Honda Shadow Phantom
Harley? What Harley? Honda’s newest cruiser, the Shadow Phantom, tries its best to be both badass and affordable, and succeeds admirably. Honda has essentially taken the Spirit and made it meaner; the front fender is chopped and is flanked by larger, matte-finished forks that do a great job of showing off the oversized tires. Black covers on the air filter air primary look great, and spoked wheels with black rims continue the theme, but the highlight of the Phantom is undoubtedly the blacked-out V-Twin engine that features a switch from carbureted induction to electronic fuel injection. The Phantom should hit dealerships this fall, and costs a paltry $7,999. If you want it in any other color, this might not be the bike for you.
