You start off in a hurry. As the kilometres roll by and the big V-twin engine rumbles its soothing rhythm, a feeling of peaceful contentment washes over you. You slow down and soak in the sights, smells and sounds. Suddenly you realize it: There's no place you'd rather be than right here, right now. Touring on the Honda VT1300CTA Interstate has just that sort of calming effect on riders. Its relaxed riding position, clear view through the custom-styled windshield, and confident road-holding encourage you to enjoy the journey, while its 1,312 cc V-twin engine with Honda's Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) can also get you there quickly, if you really want to. And for 2011 the Interstate boasts Honda's Combined Braking System with ABS for extra peace of mind.
