HONDA VT1300CRA Stateline ABS (2009-2010) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer offered a line of three conventional cruiser models, including the Sabre, Interstate, and Stateline machines that remained in production until 2014. Also, Honda previously used both the Interstate and Sabre names for other models, such as the VT1100C2 Shadow Sabre, which was the most recent one.

The 2010 Honda VT1300CRA ABS Stateline featured the exact specifications and appearance as the standard model but with an additional safety feature, such as the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) that enhanced the overall control while braking in various conditions.

The VT1300CRA was an entry-level machine sold at a lower price while being a more touring-oriented bike thanks to its wider seat, pulled-back handlebar, and more valanced fenders.

The Stateline and Sabre machines packed the same suspension and fuel tank. At the same time, the bodywork and running gear was shared with the Interstate model, which carried additional accessories for touring, such as a windscreen, saddlebags, passenger floorboards, and fork tube covers.

In the braking department, the front wheel was handled by a 336 mm disc operated by a dual-piston caliper, while the rear wheel featured a 296 mm disc engaged by a single-piston caliper.

The bike's 1,312cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine generated an output power of 74 hp with a peak at 5,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm and sent it to the ground by a five-speed transmission and a final shaft drive.
