Yes, it’s a Honda. Really. You can be excused for thinking

the Honda VT1300CXA Fury is a one-off custom, or a beautifully restored classic from the days when choppers ruled the road. The Fury is so different from any other production bike out there, it could almost be wheeled into a custom-

bike show and roll away with the big first-place trophy.

But this chopper is different. It’s a chopper for riding, not just showing off.

The true magic of the Fury is not its radically raked front end. Or its big V-twin engine cradled by a frame that’s hardly there. Or its ingenious hidden

single-shock rear suspension that provides comfort that’s far superior to that of many chop-per-style motorcycles. Or its sleek, sensuous styling, includ-ing new colour-matched frame for 2011. No, the true magic is how the Fury performs when you slide into its low, wide seat, crack the throttle, and head down the road. Custom bike enthusiasts love the chopper for its outrageous styling, but until the Fury came along, it seemed like nobody could get a motorcycle with such a radi-cally raked front end to handle properly. But the Fury handles like... well, like a Honda. Which is to say it steers and rides with a predictability that makes you immediately feel comfortable and in control.

You get wild chopper looks,

A chopper like no other

2011 VT1300CXA Fury

>> The Fury’s 1,312 cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine looks great, with an eye-catching metallic silver finish. And it sounds great too, thanks to a shotgun-style exhaust system that produces a unique, muscular tone

>> The engine’s PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system, three-valve cylinder heads with dual spark plugs, and other high-tech features, combine for strong low-end torque and a satisfying rush of power when you twist the throttle

>> Honda’s Combined Braking System with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) provides both the operating ease of linked brakes and the control of an advanced ABS system

>> A specially designed shaft-drive system cleanly and quietly transfers power to the big 200-series rear tire, adding to the Fury’s uncluttered look while also keeping maintenance to a minimum

>> Stretched-out 1,805 mm (71 in.) wheelbase and low 685 mm (27 in.) seat height contribute to the Fury’s radical look and its stable, comfortable, confidence-inspiring ride

plus the handling, engine performance and reliability you expect from a Honda. That’s the magic of the VT1300CXA Fury.

Make the street your own. When you ride a Honda VT1300CSA Sabre,

you feel like you have the power to rule the road.

A cruiser with a laid-back look from the Fury design studio, plus a hot-rod heart. That’s what the Sabre is all about. Twist the throttle, and revel in the deep, rich sound from the big 1,312 cc V-twin engine. It’s music to a motorhead’s ears. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI), three-valve cylinder heads, liquid cooling, and a tuned dual exhaust system help to give the Sabre its muscle, while an inno-vative dual-axis primary counterbalanc-ing system helps to quell engine vibration while still letting you feel those big power pulses at work.

High-tech, sure. But all you need to know is this: When the light turns green or you’re pulling out onto the highway, there’s no waiting around when you’re riding a Sabre.

A high-performance engine needs a high-performance chassis, so the Sabre boasts a narrow 21-inch front tire mounted on a minimalist five-spoke wheel for a unique drag-bike look and light steering, a bare-bones steering head that’s airy and lightweight yet plenty sturdy, a low seat height and low over-all centre of gravity for road-hugging

stability, and a hidden rear suspension system that provides a hard-tail look with-out giving up rider comfort and handling control. Plus, the Sabre’s inte-grated Combined

10 Honda Ride Guide honda.ca

Owning a cruiser isn’t just a great way to experience the freedom of

the open road. It’s not just about the joy of seeing the world unencumbered by a roof and doors, or about the thrill you feel when you lean from side to side through a twisty mountain road.

Sure, those special visceral sensations are a huge part of the enduring appeal of motorcycling. But there’s something else that adds to the sport’s allure: the unique fellowship among riders. When you ride a motorcycle, you become a member of a great big family of like-

minded enthusiasts. Especially if you ride a cruiser like the

Honda VT1300CRA Stateline.Cruiser owners share a special place in

the motorcycling fraternity — they love the ride, but they also love motorcycling’s traditions and social customs. The State-line was designed with just this type of rider in mind. Its styling takes the Fury concept in a different direction – more classic roadster than radical chopper – and its flared fenders and beefy front and rear tires give it more of an open-road personality than the hot-rod Sabre.

Like the Fury and Sabre, the State-line delivers the powerful engine per-formance and the confident handling that makes twisting the throttle on a big V-twin cruiser so much fun. And when it’s time for a break and you pull up to a coffee shop on a Stateline, its distinctive look and sound immediately turns heads and sparks conversation.

Before you know it, strangers become riding buddies. And then riding buddies become life-long friends. All thanks to a motorcycle like the Honda VT1300CRA Stateline.

Enjoy the cruiser lifestyle

2011 VT1300CRA Stateline

>> 1,312 cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine with Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) and three-valve cylinder heads transmits its power to the wide rear tire via clean, quiet, low-maintenance shaft drive

>> Blacked out cylinders, gleaming chrome covers, narrow 52-degree cylinder angle... the Stateline’s V-twin looks like a cruiser engine should, and performs like most cruiser engines wish they could

>> Combined Braking System with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) provides the stopping performance of linked front and rear brakes with the peace of mind of anti-lock brakes

>> The aggressively raked front end looks radical, yet it also handles with the composure you’d expect from a Honda cruiser. Same thing at the back: the hidden rear shock contributes to the Stateline’s clean lines, but it also provides superb ride comfort and control

>> Beautiful chrome instrument nacelle sits atop the Stateline’s curvaceous fuel tank, and a sleek one-piece seat sits low to the ground for cruising comfort and confident control

Y ou only get a few days like this every year. Cool, crisp air, autumn leaves in their glory, no rain in sight—the perfect day for a motorcycle ride.

The only question is, where to? Coffee in hand, I spread my map on the table and look for the squiggly lines. The thing I like best about motorcycling is how it leads me to unexpected places along unfamil-iar roads. I’ve been all over southern Ontario on a bike, but I never run out of new places to see. Some folks ride to the far corners of South America or Asia in search of adventure, but the truth is, you can find plenty of it in your own backyard.

Suddenly, something on the map catches my eye and a slow grin spreads across my face. I down the last of my coffee, grab my gloves and helmet and walk out the door.

I need to get moving, because today I’m riding around the world.

My travelling companion is the Honda Shadow RS. Free of unnecessary clutter, it’s motorcycling boiled down to its sweetest elements: a stout frame, a comfortable saddle, and a throaty V-twin engine. I slip on my jacket, gloves and helmet,

and ride off into the October sunshine.I head northeast of Toronto, past Markham. The traffic at this time

of the morning is light, and non-existent on the smaller two-lane farm roads. I turn north on Reesor Road toward my first destination: Mongolia.

No, not that Mongolia. Mongolia, Ontario.The land here is flat and open. I see no yurts or fierce nomads with

eagles on their arms, just cozy farmhouses and tree-lined fields filled with winter wheat and corn stubble.

Originally an independent village, Mongolia was absorbed into the Town of Markham a few years back. When I reach the crossroads I find little evidence of the old community; however, a few hundred yards up the road the Mongolia schoolhouse has been converted into a pri-vate home. The owner is kind enough to permit a few photos of the classic building, which they’ve wisely left intact. The building reminds me of my father. In 1951 he taught in a schoolhouse just like this one in another part of the province. Although he was all of 21 years old at the time, the children used to call him “the old man.”

Back on the Shadow RS, I throttle up and head north, up the York-Durham line toward Glasgow, Ontario. My route takes me onto a deserted gravel concession road; the foliage is glorious here, and the

Shadow motors along the rough road without a fuss.

A l though Glasgow remains on the map, like Mongolia it has long since faded from the world. After some searching, I find a

sign marked Forsyth Cemetery, Glasgow. The gravestones here date back to the 1870s. Worn and weathered, they tell a sombre story of hard lives and tragedy, but also of tight-knit communities and strong family bonds. It’s a peaceful place, here among the scattered leaves. But life is for the living, and the open road beckons. Next stop: Egypt.

Leaving gravel for pavement I rev the Shadow RS’s eager engine and flick up through the gears. The engine pulls strongly, and the thumping cadence of the V-twin provides a soulful soundtrack as I turn north again toward Lake Simcoe. For the next little while I sit back and enjoy the ride, letting the cool, clean air wash over me while the sun warms my shoulders.

Egypt is still a functioning community, albeit a small one. This is where Canadian writer Stephen Leacock’s family settled in Canada, after Leacock’s father was banished from the family’s English manor for marrying his true love, Agnes.

While Orillia—the setting for Leacock’s Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town—has claimed the writer as its own, Egypt has a different claim to fame: the Great Egypt Camel Race. Part of an annual summer homecoming picnic, the event challenges teams to carry “camels” (actually barrels with long “necks” attached) and riders in a race to the finish line. Maybe I’ll enter a team of fellow Honda riders next year.

After posing for the obligatory walk-like-an-Egyptian photo in front of the town sign, it was time to point the Shadow RS eastward. I rumble along Old Homestead Road, through the town of Pefferlaw, then south and east again along the Trans Canada Highway. A quick stop in Manilla (just one “l” away from the city in the Philippines) leads to a chat with a fellow motorcyclist. He’s a big fellow, but as he eyes the Shadow RS’s clean lines and low seat height he thinks of his wife. “She just got her licence—I’ll have to tell her about this bike.”

The sun is now high in the sky, and the motor isn’t the only thing rumbling. I need food, and the nearby

town of Little Britain has one of the best bakeries in the region. I roar down Eldon Road, visions of butter tarts dancing in my head. As I slow down for a photograph in front of the “Welcome to Little Britain” sign, a huge white mastiff dog

appears in the gully by the side of the road. His ears perk up, and I can sense what’s coming

next. As he bounds into the road, teeth flashing, I gun the Honda’s willing motor and easily swerve around him. Cars behind me screech to a halt as the befuddled monster stands in the middle of the road, watching me ride into the distance.

Sorry, Fido. Better luck next time.Adrenalin still pumping, I walk into Little Britain’s famous Butter-

tarts ’N More. For a hungry rider, this place is heaven on earth—rack after rack of homemade tarts, breads and biscuits, and sweet rolls the size of softballs, fresh from the oven and drizzled in icing.

The owner, Lynda Moss, started the shop in 1999 after a sales career in the big city. Since then, her bakery, housed in a former auto garage, has become a destination for people from Lake Simcoe to Lake Scugog. It’s easy to see why. As I bite into my classic butter tart, the delicious, gooey centre explodes in my mouth. It’s glorious and gloriously messy, but Lynda has wet naps on hand for first-timers like me.

Word has obviously spread among local riders. As I brush the crumbs from my jacket, a group of fellow cruiser riders pulls up for a treat. Rider Mary Bone takes a particular interest in the Shadow RS. At my invitation she eagerly hops on and fires up the engine.

“It’s nice and sleek. I like the lines of it. And it’s very slender through the middle. My bike is like a tank—a great big thing. This is so lean.”

“A new toy?” inquires Mary’s friend, Marianne. Mary laughs.“I think Honda has one of the best products out there, for reliability

and durability,” Mary says. “I bet this bike will last forever.”I wouldn’t doubt it. The Shadow RS may be trim, but it’s solidly

built, with an impressive level of fit and finish wherever you look. But attractive as it may be, this is no objet d’art—it’s a motorcycle,

and it begs to be ridden. Waving goodbye to my fellow tart enthusi-asts, I let out the clutch and turn the Honda toward home.

As often happens, the last few miles of the ride prove to be the sweetest of all. I skirt Port Perry, ambling down a series of country backroads as the lowering sun paints the fields in ever-brighter shades of gold. I park the bike just as the air turns uncomfortably cold. Tonight will be chilly. We might even get some frost.

Think I’ll put on a fresh pot of hot coffee, pull out my maps, and dream about my next adventure. Where in the world will I go next?

It has a look that takes you back. Blacked out engine with gleaming chrome

highlights. Traditional spoke wheels. Twin shotgun-style mufflers. Shorty front fender and neatly cropped tail. The Honda Shadow RS is rolling proof that classic ideas never go out of style.

The look catches your attention, no question. But it’s the ride quality that really establishes the Shadow RS as a retro-style cruiser with thoroughly modern per-formance. Its robust and dependable liquid-cooled V-twin engine packs plenty of punch to appeal to experienced riders, yet its broad powerband makes it easy to

use and confidence-inspiring for those newer to motorcycling.

Easy starting, instant throttle response and smooth, satisfying acceleration are assured by Honda’s PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system. And the compact chassis is designed to create easy, pre-dictable handling — the combination of the 750 mm (29.5 in.) seat height and

the placement of the footpegs and grips create a natural, upright seating position, a reassuring view over surrounding traf-fic, and a comfortable, controlled ride.

Classic styling, combined with thor-oughly modern performance. Swing a leg over your Honda Shadow RS, and head off on a ride that will take you all the way back to the future.

Taking you back to the future

Traditional dual-shock rear suspension features five-position spring preload adjustability so you can tailor the ride just the way you like it

>> 745 cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine with PGM-FI electronic fuel injection and three-valve cylinder heads produces impressive power over a broad rpm range. The crankshaft’s long-stroke design enhances the strong V-twin feel and low-rpm torque

>> Lightweight chain final-drive system continues the classic styling theme

>> A comfortable seating position and light weight make the Shadow RS perfect for all sorts of riding, whether you’re an experienced motorcyclist or new to the sport

Let others go for bright and flashy. That’s just not you. You’ll make a

statement in a different way, with a bike that has a raw, rough, no-nonsense, all-business, back-to-basics allure.

The Honda VT750C Phantom per-fectly captures the classic “bobber” look of yesteryear, with its black engine, black wheels, black handlebar, black bobbed fenders... black almost everything. The monochrome styling stands out in a crowd precisely because of its subtlety, which is just the way you like it.

The look may be raw and rough, yet the ride is anything but. Beneath the Phan-tom’s distinctive exterior beats the heart of a high-performance cruiser that’s just

the right size for city or open-road riding. Sit in the wide and comfortable seat, and you’ll notice right away how easily your feet can be placed flat on the ground. It’s a confidence-inspiring seating position that combines with an upright riding pos-ture for enhanced comfort and control on longer trips. This is one cruiser that you’ll really want to ride, not just clean, polish and admire.

The Phantom’s torquey 745 cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine features Honda’s PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system, so you can be sure of crisp acceleration and exciting highway roll-on power. The engine’s high-tech credentials also include three-valve cylinder heads and dual-spark-

>> A 41 mm front fork features large-diameter matte-finished shrouds and a large billet-aluminum triple-clamp for a distinctively edgy look, while also providing neutral handling and a plush 117 mm (4.6 in.) of wheel travel

>> An incredibly low 655 mm (25.8 in.) seat height and an upright riding position help riders of all sizes feel comfortable and in control

You’re a rider. The worn palms on your leather gloves and the telltale shift-

lever mark across the toe of your left boot immediately give you away. You love the classic styling of a traditional V-twin cruiser, but that’s secondary to how the bike per-forms. It’s got to work, and work well.

The Honda VT750CA Spirit is a rider’s cruiser. Slide onto the sleek gunfighter-style saddle, and right away you’ll notice that the seat height is extra-low yet the riding position feels more aggressive than on most cruisers. A narrow tire mounted on a big 21-inch front wheel, combined with carefully calibrated steering geom-etry, premium Kayaba suspension, a long

wheelbase and light weight, give the Spirit superb handling and ride comfort.

Of course, a rider’s cruiser needs a strong engine, so the Spirit boasts a powerful 745 cc liquid-cooled V-twin with PGM-FI electronic fuel injection. You’ll love the low-end grunt that begins the moment you twist the throttle, and smile as the

Go ahead. Just try to go for a ride on the Honda VT750CA Aero without coming

back with a big smile on your face.The Aero is one of the most popu-

lar bikes in Honda’s proud history of cruiser motorcycles, and it’s easy to see

why. Check out the gleaming chrome and the deep, rich paint. Sweep your eyes over the low, stretched-out chassis. Then twist the throttle and enjoy the baritone beat from the staggered-dual exhausts. The Aero doesn’t cost a lot, but your riding buddies will think you paid a fortune for a bike that looks and sounds this good.

And the first time you settle into the deeply dished seat, reach out to the wide handlebar and roll out onto the open road, you’ll be smitten for good. The Aero’s liquid-cooled V-twin engine boasts Honda’s PGM-FI electronic fuel
