It’s no secret that Honda’s 1300cc V-twin line has been a huge sales success. They’re ubiquitous cruisers out on the road, due to their reliability, performance, and handling. While the 1300s haven’t been the most striking bikes from a styling viewpoint, they are more than competent machines on the road. Honda started to change that image with the early release of the 2010 Honda Fury last year. It was a head-turning eye-catching high-neck chopper that had bystanders asking, “Is that really a Honda?” Despite its custom chopper appearance, the Fury offered the same impressive combination of reliability, performance, and handling. Now, in the spring of 2010, Honda has released three new VT1300 (V-twins)–the touring Interstate, the pro-street Sabre and the subject of this test, the beefy Stateline, a bike that combines old school (fat tires and valanced fenders) with modern swoopy styling of the tank and seat.The Honda Interstate offers a perfect mix of power, style and comfort. In terms of design, the bike features an attractive old school allure combined with many modern elements and lots of chrome. We especially like the sleek fuel tank, the sculpted seat and the carefully polished engine. Talking about the engine, the Interstate is propelled by a 1312cc, liquid-cooled, 52° V-twin unit with PGM-FI (electronic fuel injection) system. The engine is linked to a five speed transmission and delivers an average fuel consumption of 46 MPG. As far as practicality is concerned the Honda Interstate comes with many touring features that include floorboards, leather-clad saddlebags and a custom windscreen. The motorcycle’s speed is kept in leash by a set of front and rear disc brakes, and there is also available an optional Anti-lock braking system.
