The Interstate was the middle model of the GL1200 range, with the touring fairing and luggage but less of the Aspencade's luxury equipment. That made it lighter and cheaper while keeping the same smooth 1182 cc flat-four and shaft drive. 1987 was its last year before the six-cylinder GL1500 took over.
