2015 Honda Interstate ABS

A cool, custom bike. The open road. And a week off. Does life get any better? Maybe—if that bike’s a Honda® Shadow® Interstate. With the Interstate you get the best of all worlds. For cruising or everyday riding, the Interstate has a clean, progressive style, plenty of motor and a look that’s going to make a big impression everywhere you ride. But add in a little vacation time and the Interstate is happy to stretch its legs and take you wherever you like, even if it’s a couple thousand miles away.

The Interstate’s 1312cc V-twin engine generates plenty of low-end torque for relaxed urban rides, but is big enough for multi-day trips on long highways or over mountain passes. Shaft final drive gives you a clean, crisp look on the street, but its maintenance reducing features are exactly what you want a thousand miles from home too.

Everywhere you look, the Interstate offers the details that set it apart: roomy floorboards, leather-clad saddlebags, custom windscreen. And best of all? A look nothing else can touch.

Features may include:

• Windscreen

The stylish custom windscreen keeps wind and weather at bay, ensuring both rider and passenger cruise in ultimate touring comfort.

• Chrome Fork Covers

Custom bikes can never have too much style, as the Interstate illustrates perfectly with its brilliant, eye-catching chrome fork covers.

• Color-Matched Frame

The Interstate’s color-matched frame really gives this bike a finished, custom touch.

• Full-Size Floorboards

A must-have for every long-distance machine: large, roomy floorboards, with vibration-absorbing rubber inserts to keep your size-12 dogs relaxed all day long.

• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)

Forget about fiddling with a choke—the Interstates fuel-injection system means no-hassle startups on cold mornings or at high altitudes, and optimal performance in any condition.

• 1312cc V-Twin Engine

Powerful 1312cc, 52-degree V-twin engine with a single-pin crankshaft and dual balancers has plenty of torque, and the feel only a V-twin can deliver.

• Heel-Toe Shifter

A handy and old-school cruiser-style, heel-toe shifter is paired with the floorboards to make shifting through the gears a simple toe or heel tap away.

• Low-Slung Saddle

Measuring in at a low, easy-to-get-the-boots-down-when-stopping 26.7 inches, the Interstate’s wide, cushy seat not only enhances the comfort level, but the styling as well.

• Shaft Final Drive

The shaft final drive is quiet, clean and has been uniquely integrated into the overall design.

• Front- and Rear-Disc Brakes/ABS

Equipped with powerful disc brakes at both ends, the Interstate is also available with Honda®s Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) as an option.

• Hardcover Saddlebags

Roomy and built with stylish leather overlaying a protective hard case and cover, the Interstates saddlebags are big enough to pack for a long trip—and durable enough to take it.
