2012 Honda Interstate 1300 my likes and gripes

[@skotward]

Great video man! Lots of description, lots of pros and cons, thank you. The only thing I don't like about this bike is the front wheel. They could have put a much nicer looking front wheel on this bike. Besides that everything else is pretty cool. I like the music that you chose for this video. I don't know who the band is, but it reminds me of Rush. 🙂👍

Thanks for sharing your insight on this model.

I ride a shadow 750. Is that bike easy to hold up at stop lights/signs? I was thinking about getting a higher speed bike and I wanted to make sure I’ll be able to handle a bigger bike like that.

[@Scarbage81]

The shadow weighs around 550 lbs, the interstate is a little over 700 lbs but don’t let the weight scare you. The interstate has a low center of gravity much like the shadow does making it pretty easy to hold up. However, don’t let the bigger displacement fool you either. The bike with a bigger motor isn’t always the fastest bike out there, it will get you to interstate speeds faster than the 750 will but overall top end I would venture to say isn’t really that much more than the shadow, when you reach the top end on either of the bikes you’ll probably find yourself looking for a sixth gear. The motor isn’t wound out at 80 mph on the interstate at all and you have plenty of power left to pass at that speed and keep up with some bigger bikes, just don’t go spending money on the bike thinking it will keep up with a hayabusa cause it won’t.

I have both bikes except my Vtx is a 1800 750 is really tossable and corners well the Vtx definitely feels bigger at low speed handling and corners but has literally double the horse power so it’s a lot of fun on straights and on the highway

I have a 2003, VTX 1300 S and I have about 18,000 miles on it. I love it and I got a 2006 VTX 1800 C and I love it but I like to keep my bikes stock and I like to have one like you got, but I like for it to be stock no tuner no pipes. Nice bike dude, Honda best on earth.

[@IndianOutLawCrazyHorse]

Don't forget about the Honda Sabre 1300. It's the more hot rod bike next to the fury.

[@Scarbage81]

Completely forgot about that bike, there are so many awesome Honda bikes out there it’s kinda hard to know them all

[@orangeguy3314]

I always got one of them, but I didn't go with because the corning factor.

[@biggnate356]

I love my Interstate. Don't see why I won't keep for a long time

[@Iowaridesandgun]

Have a 2015 Stateline, all of this vid is 100% true

[@nathandean66]

Over the yrs and honda don't think about a fuel gauge

[@fohz0710]

That's what am saying look the Vulcan 900 and 1700 both have fuel gauge and don't cost that much more

[@alm4132]

Couldn't make it thru the vid with the loud music drowning out your voice......

[@Steadfastly7]

Why the loud music? It's too loud making me think you are just an amateur KZbinr. Now you've got it playing in the background making it difficult to pay attention to your review. I am outta here! Oh, I have to give you a thumbs down first.

[@LeePayne2310]

Go back to the basement troll.

[@JW-bw8nj]

Yeah, what a jerk. There's a difference between constructive criticism and just being a plain ol piece of shit. Btw, most people that post KZbin videos are amateurs, moron.
