These join the Fury and the Phantom, 2010 models released earlier this year. Here is the press release we received from Honda today outlining the four cruisers, and also an upgraded ST1300, the companys popular sport tourer.

Shadow RS

The Sabres muscular pro-street style provides a classic ride, with ergonomics to match.

Stateline/Stateline ABS

Featuring long, low lines that embody what cruising is all about, the Stateline blends two worlds of motorcycling style: traditional looks plus progressive elements. The deeply valenced fenders arc downward in classic retro style, yet the all-new rolling chassis and overall lines bring a fresh look to the class. Add to that the deep throaty rumble of a big V-twin engine with Hondas Programmed Fuel Injection and that classic big V power pulse, and you have a machine thats the perfect choice for cruising-any time you want.

Available in Black and Pearl Blue. In dealerships in February. MSRP: $12,749.

ST1300/ST1300ABS

Long distance adventure is best experienced aboard a machine thats keenly in tune with your riding senses. For years, the Honda ST1300 has answered the call of the open road by setting the standard for power and handling in a package thats the perfect fit for crisscrossing the USA, or just enjoying a long weekend on the road. Equipped with a powerful 1261cc V-4 engine and Hondas sophisticated Programmed Fuel Injection, plus full-coverage bodywork, three-way adjustable riders seat, motor-driven adjustable windscreen, dual saddlebags and more, the ST1300 remains the choice of dedicated long-haul riders.

“These five street bikes add even more excitement to our lineup for 2010,” said Powersports Press Manager Bill Savino. “Four of these bikes are new V-twins that dramatically expand our line of cruisers. The Sabre, Stateline, Interstate and Shadow RS V-twins unveil new styling and functional variations for Honda buyers, and were excited about the new opportunities these machines present. The ST1300 continues to extend its reputation for long-haul performance with a sporting flair and it remains a popular choice among riders who live for the open road. This 2010 model year is shaping up very well, with lots of exciting options for Honda fans.”
