Overview

Introducing the 2012 Honda Stateline: The Custom Cruiser that Commands Attention The 2012 Honda Stateline is not just another motorcycle; it's a statement of style and performance in the custom-cruiser category. Priced at approximately US$ 12,150, it delivers a unique blend of American cruiser aesthetics and Honda's renowned engineering prowess. With its sleek lines and muscular stance, the Stateline captures the essence of the open road, making it an ideal choice for riders who appreciate both form and function. This motorcycle is designed for those who seek to stand out while enjoying the freedom and comfort only a true cruiser can offer. At the heart of the Stateline is a powerful 1,312cc V2 engine. This four-stroke powerhouse produces smooth and ample torque, ensuring a responsive ride whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising along open highways. With a 9.2:1 compression ratio and a precise digital ignition system that employs 3-D mapping, the engine delivers impressive performance while maintaining fuel efficiency. The 5-speed gearbox, coupled with a shaft drive, translates that power into a seamless riding experience, allowing riders to focus on the journey ahead without the distraction of frequent gear changes. The Stateline is equipped with a host of features that enhance both comfort and rideability. The 41mm front fork and single rear shock provide a balanced suspension setup that absorbs bumps with grace, while the double disc front brakes ensure dependable stopping power. With a seat height of just 678 mm, the Stateline is accessible for riders of various heights, providing confidence whether you’re stopping at a light or maneuvering in tight spaces. Coupled with a fuel capacity of 16.65 liters (4.40 gallons), this motorcycle is built for longer rides, making it perfect for weekend getaways or daily commutes. The striking Metallic Silver color option adds a touch of elegance to its rugged persona. **

Pros

    Cons

    • Stylish Design: The Stateline boasts a striking and classic cruiser look that turns heads on the road.
    • Comfortable Riding Position: The low seat height and ergonomic design make it friendly for a wide range of riders, ensuring comfort even on longer journeys.
    • Reliable Engine Performance: The 1,312cc V2 engine offers smooth power delivery and an enjoyable riding experience, making it suitable for both novice and experienced riders.
    • Weight: At 304.8 kg (672 pounds), the Stateline may feel heavy for some riders, especially during slow maneuvers or parking.
    • Limited Color Options: With only a Metallic Silver choice, customization options are somewhat restricted compared to other models in its class.
    • Single-Piston Rear Brake: While effective, the single-piston caliper on the rear may not provide the same level of stopping power as dual-disc setups found on competing models.
