2013 Honda Stateline ABS Motorcycle

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.

Thoroughly Modern Classic: Fuel-injected and featuring three valves per cylinder, the Stateline's mighty 1312cc 52º V-twin is the perfect fusion of retro design and current-day engineering.

Eye Candy: The Stateline is brimming with stylish accents, and none more so than its tank-mounted speedometer, nestled inside a gorgeous, specially designed chrome housing.

Brake Time: The Stateline features A 336mm front and a 296mm rear disc brake and the option of Honda's Anti-lock Brake System. That makes for powerful, sure stops. Because you never know what the open road is going to throw at you.

• 1312cc V-twin Engine: 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.
• Three-Valve Dual-Plug Combustion Chamber
• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI): Forget about fiddling with a choke—the Stateline's fuel injection system means no-hassle startups on cold mornings or at high altitudes, and optimal performance in any condition.
• Shaft Final Drive: The shaft final drive is quiet, clean, and has been uniquely integrated into the overall design.
• Front and Rear Disc Brakes (Optional ABS): A single 336mm disc/twin-piston caliper unit up front and 296mm disc/single-piston caliper setup in back ensure the Stateline can reel itself in when needed.
• 2-into-2 Exhaust System: The Stateline's 1312cc V-twin engine features a beautiful two-into-two exhaust system. It not only looks great, but it sounds even better.
• Five-Spoke Cast Wheels: Silver-finish five-spoke wheels never go out of style, are easy to keep clean, and just plain look right on a sharp, contemporary cruiser like the Stateline.
• Wide, Low-Profile Tires: Big, fat, and bad to the bone, the Stateline's wide, low tires do more than just look good—they are the basis for the Stateline's excellent handling—exactly what you'd expect from a Honda cruiser.
• Retro-Progressive Styling: 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.
