2014 Honda VT1300CTA Interstate ABS[edit | edit source]
Built for the long haul, the 2013 Interstate ABS provides the best of both worlds: great touring comfort and awesome pro-street, dragster-ish look to turn heads. Evolved on the proven VT1300 platform, this machine retains the low and menacing, pro-street stance of the Sabre or the Stateline, and the potent 1312cc v-twin.
With rider floorboards, a protective windscreen and with roomy leather-trimmed hardcase saddlebags, all that was missing were anti-locking brakes. Now, riders with a safety-focused mind can enjoy all the extra peace of mind ABS brings to the game.
