At the heart of the 2011 Honda VT1300CR custom - cruiser motorcycle, Honda relies on a 1312 cc (80.1 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) at 2,750 rpm.
On the scales, the VT1300CR measures 309 kg (681 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 680 mm (26.8 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,785 mm (70.3 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
