The true magic of the Honda VT1300CXA 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 chopper-style motorcycles. Or its sleek, sensuous styling with 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 now it seemed like nobody could get a motorcycle with such a radically 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, plus the handling, engine performance and reliability you expect from a Honda. That's the magic of the VT1300CXA Fury. Available only at Honda Powerhouse dealers.

A cruiser with a laid-back look and a hot-rod heart.

That's what the Honda VT1300CSA 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 innovative dual-axis primary counterbalancing system helps to quell engine vibration while still letting you feel those big power pulses at work. A high-performance engine needs a high-performance chassis, so the Sabre boasts a narrow 21-inch tire mounted on a minimalist five-spoke wheel for a unique drag-bike look and light steering, a low seat height and low overall centre of gravity for road-hugging stability, and a hidden rear suspension system that provides a hard-tail look without giving up rider comfort and handling control. Hop on a Honda VT1300CSA Sabre, then hang on tight and enjoy the ride.

You start off in a hurry. As the kilometres roll by and the big V-twin engine rumbles its soothing rhythm, a feeling of peaceful contentment washes over you.

You slow down and soak in the sights, smells and sounds. Suddenly you realize it: There's no place you'd rather be than right here, right now. Touring on the Honda VT1300CTA Interstate has just that sort of calming effect on riders. Its relaxed riding position, clear view through the custom-styled windshield, and confident road-holding encourage you to enjoy the journey, while its 1,312 cc V-twin engine with Honda's Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) can also get you there quickly, if you really want to. And for 2011 the Interstate boasts Honda's Combined Braking System with ABS for extra peace of mind.

The Honda VT750C Phantom perfectly captures the classic "bobber" look of yesteryear, with its black engine, black wheels, black handlebar, black bobbed fenders... black almost everything.

The look may be raw and rough, yet the ride is anything but, because beneath the Phantom'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 posture 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 VT750CA Aero is one of the most popular 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 reach out to the wide handlebar, twist the throttle, and enjoy the baritone beat from the liquid-cooled V-twin engine and staggered-dual exhausts. Perhaps the true magic of the Aero, however, is how it just seems to perfectly fit so many riders. It doesn't overwhelm you with its size and weight the way some big-bore cruisers can, and even shorter riders will feel comfortable and confident thanks to a low seat height. Plus, 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.
