2015 Honda VT1300 Interstate – SN493

2015 Honda VT1300 Interstate – Rare. Refined. Road-Ready.

Looking for a cruiser that turns heads and eats miles? You’ve just found it.

This 2015 Honda VT1300 Interstate is the top-tier touring model in Honda’s VT1300 lineup — factory-equipped with hard luggage, wind protection, and long-distance comfort in mind. With just 6,989 miles, one meticulous Florida owner, and a host of premium upgrades, this Interstate is in gorgeous condition and now UK-registered and ready to ride.

Even better? The Interstate was never officially imported into the UK — only the Fury made it here. That makes this a seriously rare opportunity for UK riders to own Honda’s most complete, long-haul cruiser.

🏍️ The VT1300 Lineup – Explained

Honda’s VT1300 series featured four unique models — all built on the same 1312cc V-twin platform, but each tailored to a different kind of rider:

🔹 VT1300CX – The Fury

The only version officially sold in the UK. A radical, raked-out chopper-style cruiser with minimalist bodywork and dramatic lines. Eye-catching but stripped back.

🔹 VT1300CS – The Sabre

A muscle cruiser, with a sleek tank, aggressive stance, and drag-style handlebars. Built for style and quick blasts, not distance.

🔹 VT1300CR – The Stateline

Classic cruiser lines with wider bars, longer fenders, and a low, relaxed riding position. A smooth, stylish middle ground.

🔹 VT1300CT – The Interstate

This bike. The fully-loaded factory tourer, equipped with:

• Lockable hard saddlebags

• Tall touring windscreen

• Rider floorboards

• Heel/toe shifter

• Larger, touring-style brake pedal

Built for comfort and capability, the Interstate is the model in the range that says, “Let’s ride all day.” It’s the most practical, comfortable, and complete cruiser Honda offered — and this example takes it a step further.

🔧 Technical Specs – Power, Comfort & Reliability

Underneath its laid-back style, the Interstate is built around Honda’s legendary 1312cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine. This motor is smooth, torquey, and engineered for long-haul reliability.

• Engine: 1312cc, 52-degree V-twin, liquid-cooled, SOHC

• Transmission: 5-speed with heel/toe shift and shaft drive (zero maintenance)

• Power: ~57hp @ 4,250 rpm

• Torque: ~89 Nm @ 2,250 rpm – strong, usable low-end torque

• Fuel Tank: 15.9 litres (~3.5 UK gallons)

• Brakes: Large 336mm front disc, 296mm rear disc

• Seat Height: 673mm – low and confidence-inspiring

• Weight (wet): ~320kg – planted and stable on the road

⭐ Why this matters:

• Shaft drive means no chain mess, no belt wear — just reliable, low-maintenance motoring.

• Liquid cooling keeps temperatures stable in traffic or on long summer rides.

• Ergonomics are built for hours in the saddle — the riding triangle is roomy and natural.

• The engine’s low-end torque makes it ideal for relaxed cruising, solo or two-up.

🏆 Why Buy This Over Other Cruisers?

If you’re comparing this to bikes like the Yamaha XV1900 Midnight Star, Kawasaki VN1700 Voyager, or a Harley-Davidson Road King, here’s where the VT1300 Interstate shines:

• Legendary Honda reliability — less wrenching, more riding

• Shaft drive – zero fuss touring, unlike belt- or chain-driven rivals

• Lighter and more manageable than many large-displacement cruisers, especially for everyday riding

• Much rarer in the UK – you’re unlikely to park up next to another one

• Lower running costs – from servicing to insurance

• And with whitewall tyres, Cobra pipes, and a Corbin seat, this one turns heads wherever it goes

✨ This Bike Comes Fully Loaded With:

• ✅ Cobra Longshots – a deep, commanding V-twin tone

• ✅ Baron Rev Counter

• ✅ Cobra Footboards (Front & Rear)

• ✅ Cobra Crash Bars

• ✅ Corbin Seat with Rider’s Backrest

• ✅ Passenger Backrest (Sissy Bar) & Luggage Rack

• ✅ Arlen Ness Mirrors

• ✅ Kuryakyn Grips
