RIDE REVIEW I 2024 HONDA SHADOW PHANTOM
P90
after only a few sweeping turns.
Brakes are surprisingly good at speed and plenty
capable in the city. ABS is worth the extra $300.
For a seemingly simple and down-to-earth kind
of motorcycle, the Honda Phantom is a surpris-
ingly fun bike to ride. It's also solidly built, feels
comfortable, performs surprisingly well, and has
the looks to match. For just $8699, the Phantom
is a great value. And everyone will think you paid
well over $10,000 for it. We won't tell.
