HONDA VT1300CR Stateline (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The VT1300CR Stateline was a cruiser motorcycle part of a cruiser lineup in Honda's range, which was launched in 2010 as a replacement for the VTX1300 series. The bike featured a classic appearance topped by a modern engine that offered smooth and precise power delivery.

In 2013, the VT1300CR Stateline entered the market as a cruiser machine with a low and comfortable riding position and forward-mounted controls. For appearance, the model featured a sleek and streamlined design with a long and low profile and a broad, muscular front end that gave it a modern and aggressive look.

Some highlighted features of the 2013 VT1300CR machine included a digital instrument panel, an LED taillight and turn signals, and a large, lockable storage compartment behind the saddle.

The bike packed the same braking system as the 2012 model that included a 336 mm disc paired to a two-piston caliper on the front and a 296 mm disc engaged by a single-piston caliper on the rear.

Also, the suspension was carried from its predecessors and was composed of a 45 mm telescopic fork on the front. The rear was handled by a shock absorber with five-way spring preload adjustability.

At the center of the chassis, the 2013 Honda VT1300CR Stateline packed a 1,312cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine that delivered smooth and precise power with its electronically controlled fuel injection system. The power of 74 hp at 5,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm was converted into motion by a five-speed gearbox.
