What Is It?
The Honda CB1300 is a popular premium naked bike and is powered by a liquid cooled 1,284 cc inline four cylinder four stroke engine, producing 114 bhp at 7,500 rpm and maximum torque at 6,000 rpm.
Features include:
- Steel tubular frame with Aluminium swingarm
- Dual 310 mm discs up front with Nissin two piston calipers
- 256 mm disc at the rear with Nissin single piston caliper
- 43 mm fork with pre-load adjustment and 120 mm travel
- Adjustable dual rear Showa piggyback shocks with 116 mm travel
- 4->2->1 Stainless Steel exhaust system
- Adjustable levers, LED tail light
- 5 speed gearbox and fuel injection
Despite weighing 3 kg less than the CB1000, this replacement is well kitted out. Under the seat there's a handy 12.4 litre luggage space, the handlebar risers can be adjusted to move the bars forward 20 mm for larger riders and there's an LCD clock/fuel gauge nestled between the analogue clocks.
Accessories include a mini smoked flyscreen, protection mushrooms, rear carrier and alarm. The 5-spoke 17" wheels take a 120/70 tyre at the front and 180/55 at the rear.

Model History & Updates
2005: Fuel injection re-tuned for smoother torque delivery, side covers made 10 mm narrower to make reaching the ground easier, ABS version available but it has 1 litre less storage under the seat and weighs 3.5 kg more.
2005: Honda produced a half-faired CB1300S version focused on all day touring at motorway speeds with ABS as standard. It's basically the same bike with a fairing stuck on which adds a couple of 1 litre glove boxes with the left being lockable, but it's 12 kg heavier than the non-ABS CB1300 at 264 kg wet.
2008: New air intake valve and Euro 3 compliance.
2010: Higher handlebars, new pillion grab rails, ABS is now a Combined ABS (C-ABS) system, new backlit dash and seat now 780 mm.
