2013 Honda VT750 Shadow Phantom — Rare Florida Import — 1 Owner — Only 3,048 Miles — £5,995

Here we have a truly special opportunity to own one of Honda’s most distinctive middleweight cruisers: a 2013 Honda VT750 Shadow Phantom, freshly imported from Florida, USA, with just 3,048 miles from new and only one owner from new.

This is not your usual UK-market Shadow. The Phantom model was never officially brought into the UK, making this a rare and highly desirable machine for anyone wanting something different from the usual cruiser crowd. Finished in its factory stealth-style blacked-out look, the Phantom has all the presence of a custom bobber, but with the legendary reliability, engineering and everyday usability that Honda is known for.

A Brief History of the Honda VT750 Shadow

The Honda Shadow name is one of the most respected in cruiser motorcycling. First appearing in the early 1980s, the Shadow range was Honda’s answer to the growing demand for American-style V-twin cruisers, but with Japanese build quality, refinement and reliability.

Over the years, the Shadow family became known for its low-slung riding position, relaxed power delivery, easy handling and bulletproof engineering. The VT750 models in particular struck the perfect balance: big enough to feel like a proper cruiser, yet light, manageable and unintimidating compared with larger heavyweight V-twins.

The 750 Shadow earned a strong following because it delivered the classic cruiser experience without the usual headaches. Smooth liquid-cooled V-twin power, shaft drive, low maintenance and Honda dependability made it a favourite with riders who wanted style, comfort and reliability in one package.

What Makes the Phantom Special?

The Shadow Phantom was Honda’s darker, sharper and more aggressive take on the VT750 platform. Rather than chrome-heavy cruiser styling, the Phantom received a factory blacked-out treatment that gave it a much more modern bobber-inspired look.

The styling details are what set it apart:

• Factory matte black finish
• Blacked-out engine and cycle parts
• Minimalist front mudguard
• Black spoked wheels
• Low, clean, stripped-back stance
• Classic V-twin cruiser silhouette
• Factory custom look without the compromises of a home-built custom

The result is a bike that looks purposeful, understated and seriously cool. It has the presence of a custom build, but because it left the Honda factory this way, it keeps the reliability, finish and usability that many modified cruisers lose.

This is exactly why the Phantom is so desirable: it gives you the American cruiser look, the bobber attitude and the rarity factor, while still being a Honda underneath.

This Particular Bike

This example is exceptional.

It has just been imported from Florida, where it was kept in a climate-controlled garage by its original owner. That careful storage really shows. The condition is excellent throughout, with absolutely no corrosion, which is exactly what you want when buying an imported cruiser.

With only 3,048 miles from new, this bike has seen very little use and presents as a very clean, low-mileage example of a model that is already hard to find in the UK.

It has been MOT’d and is now ready for its next owner to enjoy.
