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

Along with the 2013 Standard VT1300CR Stateline model, the Japanese manufacturer also made available a version that included an ABS safety feature, adding an extra piece of mind and increased handling capabilities on hard braking or various road conditions.

The VT1300CR Stateline was a cruiser-style motorcycle that debuted in 2010 as part of a cruiser line of motorcycles in Honda's range, which replaced the VTX1300 series. The Stateline and the Saber model were presented at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show.

The 2010 lineup comprised three conventional cruiser models, such as the Sabre, Interstate, and Stateline, that remained in production until 2014 but were also joined by a chopper-style machine named Fury that featured a similar appearance to other choppers built by Paul Teutul or Arlan Ness.

The Stateline model packed the same suspension as the Sabre and the Interstate model had the same running gear and bodywork as the Stateline but with additional accessories for touring, such as a large windscreen for more wind protection, floorboards for the rider, and fork covers.

With a 1,312cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine, the 2013 Honda VT1300CR Stateline ABS delivered an output power of 74 hp with a peak at 5,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) of torque at 3,000 rpm.

Overall, the bike was a powerful and stylish cruiser designed for the open road but also for city streets and delivered a smooth and enjoyable ride.
