The list of 2013 Honda models is growing as a dozen new additions were recently released. This latest release includes four different variations of the Shadow—the Aero, Phantom, RS and Spirit—each with their own unique and distinctly different cruiser persona to meet rider demands for style and preferences. When these move up to a large-displacement V-twin, they can choose between the Sabre, Stateline, Interstate or the radical Fury. The dual-sport XR650L and the CBR250R also return for 2013, along with the Rebel 250, which has been a favorite among new riders for 27 years. Last, but certainly not least, is the 2013 Gold Wing with the world’s first motorcycle airbag.

Optional features include ABS and the world’s first motorcycle airbag. New Light Silver Metallic and Gray Metallic join Ultra Blue Metallic and Candy Red colors for 2013.
