HONDA VT1300CRA Stateline ABS (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda VT1300CR debuted in 2010 as part of a custom cruiser line of motorcycles manufactured by Honda to replace the VTX1300 series. The bikes were powered by an updated version of the engine used on the VTX, with the carburetor replaced by a fuel injection system.

Also, the braking system was taken from the VTX and updated to fit the new VT1300C lineup. The bikes were made with an unusual frame geometry, new suspension components, and bodywork designed in collaboration by Honda R&D Americas (HRA) with a team of engineers from Honda's Asaka R&D Center (HGA) in Japan.

In 2014, in addition to the VT1300CR Stateline, the Japanese maker offered a version that included an additional feature, such as the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), that added a touch of safety and better control over various road conditions.

The only difference between the standard and the ABS models was the addition of the ABS modulator, which added extra weight and didn't change the bike's power performance. Overall, the 2014 Honda VT1300CR Stateline ABS was precisely the same as the standard model.

Some notable features of the bike included a modern LCD instrument cluster, a Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system, a wide, comfortable handlebar, and a large fuel tank for longer distances.

The 2014 Honda VT1300CR Stateline ABS had a 1,312cc V-twin liquid-cooled engine with an output power of 74 hp at 5,000 rpm and 123 Nm (91 lb-ft) torque with a peak at 3,000 rpm.
