2013 Honda® Stateline

2013 Honda® Stateline

It’s only natural to fixate on things of beauty, so don’t panic if you catch yourself gaping the first time you lay eyes on the Stateline®. Maybe it’s the classic lines and progressive retro-styling. Or the blacked-out cylinder fins surrounding that massive 1312cc V-twin. Or perhaps it’s the machine’s long, low-slung profile, perfectly accented with swept-back bars atop raked-out forks and full-size fenders spooning fat front and rear tires.

Or maybe it’s simply the combination of all these things. True beauty can be hard to define. It’s even harder when, like here, it leaves you speechless.

Stylish and sophisticated—two words that sum up the Stateline® perfectly. Classic, retro-progressive design meets state-of-the-art Honda engineering, pairing a unique custom look—pullback bars, raked-out front end, curved frame downtube—with a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 1312cc V-twin tuned to deliver a full range of torque and power that’s as much at home on the interstate as it is Main Street. Throw in front and rear disc brakes and you’ve got a machine that’s flat-out beautiful, both inside and out.

Powerful 1312cc, 52-degree V-twin engine with a single-pin crankshaft and dual balancers has plenty of torque, and the feel only a V-twin can deliver.

Like its Sabre and Fury cousins, the Stateline®, with its chopped dragster look, beefy V-twin and long, neo-design fenders, is one of the most authentic, radically styled custom motorcycles that Honda has ever produced.

Those long, full-coverage fenders with their deep side valances are purely modern, but pay tribute to some of the classic cruisers of old. That combination of classic and new is what the Stateline® is all about.
