Honda Adds Four 2011 Motorcycle Models to US Line-up

The North American division of Honda announced today four new additions to the 2011 model year, namely the Sabre, Stateline, Shadow Aero and NT700V machines. The company has also revealed pricing details for three of newly added street bikes, with the Sabre retailing for $11,899, the Stateline for $11,799, and the Shadow Aero for $7,999.

Taken separately, the 2011 Stateline comes with modern features in a classic retro style, a blacked-out engine treatment, wider seat with more lean-back angle and a long, sweeping, wider handlebar with more upright and relaxed riding stance.

Moving on to the 2011 Sabre, the bike’s muscular pro-street style provides a classic ride, with ergonomics to match it. Also, a 21-inch front wheel and 15-inch rear wheel add to the bike's looks.

On the other hand, the Shadow Aero comes with classic retro styling, low seat height, power-packed V-twin engine now with sophisticated Programmed Fuel Injection.

Finally, the NT700VA ABS, whose price is yet to be determined, is a touring machine that comes with a fairing, interlinked saddlebags and a strong 680cc V-twin engine.

"The 2011 new-model rollout has been an exciting time for Honda and all motorcycle enthusiasts," said Powersports Press Manager Bill Savino. "We've had a big year with many great models, especially the brand-new CBR250R and CB1000R, which have done much to round out our lineup. These 2011 machines will bring considerable depth and variety to our dealer's showrooms this spring, and I'm pleased to say even more good news is in the works as we'll begin to announce 2012 models shortly."
