Well, I got to sit on one and I'm grateful for that. Thailand price in April 2021: Thai Baht 600,000 = USD $17,916 = EUR 16,207 (approximately)

What I ride in real life: (No complaints. Excellent low-cost machine. 2021 Yamaha T155 Exciter/Sniper)

Thanks for the pictures, this is just another example of a timeless design that actually looks like a motorcycle, been around in various colours but otherwise unchanged over the many years, another piece of honda art, all the best.
 
What VLJ said, although for my money they look even better without the fairing.
 
Wow, that is pretty. Won't see it on this side of the world, but it sure is pretty.
 
My Sunday ride just gone had me stopping for a coffee in a small village and a CB1300 Super Bol D'Or was sitting right there as a I pulled up. A couple of us walked over too gawk at it and congratulated the owner on such a super and immaculate machine. His buddy, on his 1200cc air-cooled inline four Suzuki Bandit was, he told us, totally used to being completely ignored when out with his Bol D'Or riding buddy. You had to feel sorry for him, the Bandits always had that "cheap" reputation over here and it seems to of stuck.

Sadly, for most of the Kawasaki line card, that has always been the case. Another might say Honda is overpriced. Perspective.

Yes, there is that, then Honda surprise everyone with the low price of the Rebel 1100 and the newly released NT1100. Neither my cup of tea but I have to admire Honda's bold move with those bikes.

Have Honda abandoned the complex and expensive to manufacture in-line 4 now, I wonder?

The days of inline-4 are quickly narrowing. It wouldn't surprise me if they reduce their portfolio to just one offering - yet perfecting it with all their technological might ... and then appending their awesome DCT and a magical final shaft drive. :)

Almost like a cold quiver up the spine, eh?

But alas, fleeting it is. Honda likely has its sights set elsewhere.

Case in point this week: The announced EV partnership with GM. Honda is determined.

2 years earlier Honda also entered into partnership with "gm" on Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehicles while BMW partnered with Toyota. As predicted by automotive experts, within a few years there will be only a handful Automotive OEM due to high R&D cost of the new technologies.

Well who knows? Maybe it all won't matter. If the current war spreads, EVs won't be a priority because the war machine burns dino and the environment is irrelevant.

Keep at least a small displacement dino-burnin' motorcycle handy.

If Honda brought it here, I would buy one in a heartbeat! The 1300, that is!
