Now they gotta give us the CB1300

me wants...

Oh, dear. It's started here too. There's a discussion about this bike over on the UK forum. Like the CB1100, Honda used to bring it to Australia, but then they stopped. I saw on in the flesh the other day and thought it was a lovely looking bike.

[the Ferret]

Looks too modern for my tastes. I will stay with the CB1100.

[Cormanus]

Have you seen the UN-fared model? Not that I'm going to change either.

[the Ferret]

Yes, back end is too angled and too high, no cylinder fins, radiator, giant can shaped single sided pipe with no shape. Looks like an FZ1 with no quarter fairing.

[Oboro_imp]

I would change the exhaust but other than that it's prime!

[the Ferret]

Oh, I'll bet it's a great bike... Just aesthetically not my cup of tea. If that and the CB 1100 were sitting side by side on a dealers floor, I wouldn't even give the 1300 a second look, even though it's undoubtedly superior from a performance perspective. Just like the superior performing CB 1000R didn't appeal to me.

I always liked the look of the CB1300, especially the red colors but have to agree with Ferret that I would like to see fins but being water cooled no need for fins I suppose.
The close, in looks is the CB1000 from the mid nineties, they are also GREAT bikes.
Still , I would buy a CB1300 in a heart beat if they came to the USA.

I would love to have one but I would not give up my CB1100.

I would rather that Honda brought back the CBX. That 6 had a most intoxicating sound and the bike was a real beauty.

After I bought a 2013 and 2014 CB1100 my wife asked if I would ever buy another new bike and I said PROBABLY not.
This can all change if the right Honda comes along.
