HONDA VT1300CR Stateline (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda VT1300CR Stateline was presented along with the Sabre model at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show in Japan and debuted in 2010 as a machine part of a custom cruiser line that replaced the VTX1300 series of motorcycles.

The 2010 custom cruiser line was composed of three motorcycles, such as the Sabre, Interstate, and Stateline but also joined by a chopper-styled bike that had a similar appearance as the choppers manufactured by Paul Teutul or Arlan Ness.

The 2012 Honda VT1300CR Stateline was in its third year of production and was a powerful and stylish cruiser that offered a smooth and comfortable ride. The bike's engine delivered impressive power and torque, making it suitable for commuting and cruising.

The 2012 Stateline's appearance offered a classic cruiser look that was timeless and modern, with a long and low profile, a sweeping front end, and streamlined bodywork. Its chrome accents, traditional fenders, and wide rear tire enhanced its appearance.

The bike's suspension was handled by a 45 mm telescopic fork with a 33 degrees rake angle on the front, a single shock absorber with rebound damping, and five-position spring preload adjustability on the rear.

In the center of its chassis, the 2012 Honda VT1300CR Stateline packed a 1,312cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine that generated a force of 74 hp at 5,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 3,000 rpm.

All the power generated by the engine was converted into motion by a five-speed manual transmission and handled by a 336 mm disc mounted on the front wheel, engaged by a dual-piston caliper, and a 296 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
