Honda Stateline

The streamlined Honda Stateline comes with the powerful 1312cc V-twin engine with single-pin crankshaft and dual balancers, and a smooth shaft final drive. It has a low saddle and five spoke wheels with Honda's own unique unique style. It has rear disc brakes and is also available with the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) if you wish.

Design

Part of what makes the Honda Stateliness such an ideal cruiser is due to its chopped dragster looks. The whole design of the bike is sleek and stylish, with splashes of old-school aesthetics and mixed with modern amenities. You want to talk about a cruiser that lives up to its name? The Stateliness fits the bill.

The long, neo-design fenders and the deep side valences create that retro-progressive look, allowing the bike to cater to the wide range of markets. I for one think that the Stateline is the rare kind of cruiser that young riders and old heads will agree on.

Up front, Honda configured the instrument panel in a streamlined manner, essentially clearing enough space for the handle bars without being too distracted by a cluttered panel. This makes it easier for riders to enjoy ride around town in peace.

Part of the Stateline's super-clean look comes from mounting the instruments in a streamlined, modern tank nacelle. It completely opens up the handlebar area, yet still gives you all the information you need.

Another on point feature of the Stateliness is its long-slung saddle, which not only adds to the bike's classic styling, but also provides a plush and comfortable seat. Combine that with the bike's seat height of 26.7 inches and you have a cruiser that really plays up to its description.

Good times all around, right?

Frame

It's something to be said for a bike with this much the boast of the kind of agility that the Stateliness provides. Extend some appreciation to Honda for fitting the bike with a sturdy suspension system that's made up of 41mm fork at the front and a single shock setup on the rear.

The bike also received a pair of silver-finishing five-spoke wheels measuring 17 and 15 inches in the front and rear, respectively. The wheels are wrapped in a pair of big and meaty tires - 140 / 80-17 on the front and 170 / 80-15 at the rear - that also plays a part in emphasizing the Stateline's cruiser credentials.

To keep the bike in line when running in full speed, the Stateline has been equipped with and front- and rear-disc brakes. A single 336mm disc / twin-piston caliper unit up front and 296mm disc / single-piston caliper setup in back are put in place, ensuring that the cruiser can slow down where need be.
Drivetrain
The Honda Stateliness is powered by 1,312cc V-twin engine that's a load to handle on the road. Honda's infamous for not revealing their bike's output numbers, but I'm assuming that it's got somewhere around 60 horsepower inside of it, right around the same number as the Honda Fury. All that power is then sent to the rear wheel courtesy of a five-speed transmission.
