Honda Interstate

The Honda Interstate includes a powerful V-twin engine that gives an abundant amount of torque, floorboards that are full size, a windscreen for protection from the wind, and leather hardcover saddlebags for the longer trips. It also comes with a heel-toe shifter, and a low seat for the added control at stops.

Overview

A cool, custom bike. The open road. And a week off. Does life get any better? Maybe-if that bike's a Honda Shadow Interstate. With the Interstate you get the best of all worlds. For cruising or everyday riding, the Interstate has a clean, progressive style, plenty of motor and a look that is going to make a big impression everywhere you ride. But add in a little vacation time and the Interstate is happy to stretch its legs and take you wherever you like, even if it's a couple thousand miles away.

The Interstate's 1312cc V-twin engine generates plenty of low-end torque for urban rides, but is big enough for multi-day trips on long highways or over mountain passes. Shaft final drive gives you a clean, crisp look on the street, but its maintenance reducing features.

Everywhere you look, the Interstate offers the details that set it apart: roomy floorboards, leather-clad saddlebags, custom windscreen. And best of all? A look nothing else can touch.
