CTX1300

I think they dropped the ST line and are using the motor in the CTX.

The ST1300P is still for sale to police departments, so the ST line is not yet dead. Barely breathing, but not dead. Yet.

The CTX1300 is butt-ass ugly to me. Almost as bad as that new Kawasaki Z1000. Holy jeez. That's bad.

Butt-Ass ugly? Not buying one then I assume? I guess one of my problems (among many)is that I've never seen a motorcycle I thought was ugly. Some certainly more appealing then others but "ugly" doesn't apply.
Choppers don't do a thing for me but even then I wouldn't say ugly. Just hard to see any practical value to them.

For me form follows function and we can talk more when they are available to ride. I suspect and will be really disappointed if that isn't a very fine riding machine. It will simply be how it stacks up to several others and whether there is any justification for it. (Of course I like most others tend to justify regardless some times)

Best that we don't all like the same. Sure would make it peaceful on the forums.

If I was younger... by about 1/2..I'd be all over that new Kawasaki ..it looks mean as all get out from the front. At my age though I'd be more interested in a remake of the ZRX1200 ( eddie lawson Replica please)

It does have a cool exhaust...

[Jwayne_imp]

I like it, I will be looking when it comes out.

[OldF7Guy_imp]

For what ever reason I like it. Its not the sort of bike that I would buy but I really like the LED lighting on it.

I'm going with AZBob. Its butt ass ugly.

Maybe it is different in the U.S., but I can hardly imagine that this kind of bike will be sold very well in Germany. German motorcycle riders do not like that kind of design. And it reminds me of the ugly duckling called "DN-01". Unsaleable in Germany...

Unsaleable in the USA, too. That thing was a disaster.

From the huge, strangely shaped fairing of the CTX1300, to its weird exhaust that goes forward then back, I just find it ugly. It looks like a Goldwing birthed a half-made kid. Just my opinion.

Now, that doesn't mean it isn't a fine machine, and it is probably a very nice riding bike. But I have to like the way it looks before I park it in my garage.

Please Honda! Update the ST1300 to compete with the BMW K1600! Please! Please? please. I don't think they're listening.

Honda seems to be falling behind, technologically. Most other manufacturers have electronic throttles (i.e. ride-by-wire), traction control, and now dynamic suspensions on their bikes. Honda doesn't have any of this technology on any of their bikes as of this model year (2013). At least in the U.S. What the crap!?
