My Honda Phantom
By (I am an Owner) on May 31, 2012Now that I have road my Phantom, which I thoroughly researched before buying, I feel comfortable with writing this review. I really love this motorcycle. Yes it has the looks, but more importantly the ride and handling are all cruiser. In my past I have owned the big CC bike's. I was looking ... forward to the Phantoms smaller engine and it's performance proved to me that my 220 pound frame can be scooted right along by it's 750cc powerhouse. If you are looking for a bike that's quick off the chocks and like speeds over 90 mph this is not your cruiser. The Honda Phantom is a cruiser and was made for that purpose. It's a very fast bike. The rear drum brake works like a charm as does the front disk. The shaft drive is as smooth as can be when shifting and the balance of the bike is great. The seat height is nice and low, which is nice for me when at long traffic stops. One of my favorite things about the Honda Phantom is it's exhaust note. I am thoroughly impressed with it's sound. It sounds like a Harley but deeper somehow and not so ear crunching. Very cool sound. I have put 1000 miles on my Honda Phantom so far and am looking forward to many more. My rating for this bike is 5 stars.
