Now they gotta give us the CB1300

me wants...:biker::clap:

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.

 

[Houtman_imp]

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.

 

[the Ferret]

I agree with redbirds...a retro CBX would be hard to resist.

Try and find a Gen 1 ( 2001-2005) Yamaha FZ -1. To me it looks VERY similar to the CB1300. Some guys on the Fz board eliminated the fairing and went with a single round SV 650 headlight assy. Solid performers with 125 hp and 6 speed trans, and they can be picked up for under $3000

Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda all make large displacement modern standards for sale. Just not in North America. While I do think the CB1100 is easily my favorite, I would have seriously considered the CB1300, GSX1400 or XJR1300 before 2013 (if I'd had a choice).

 

[Guth_imp]

I will more than likely remain forever curious to see if Honda will make an up-to-date version of the Hawk GT.

 

[Ridem32_imp]

Cb1300 in the USA. I would have one in my stable from day one! They say it is a bad bike! I'm in!!

I've said it before but I'll bore you with it again: The best modern water cooled standard, IMHO, would be an upright V4 with ergos similar to the 80's V45 Sabres. The interceptor is a great bike but errs too far toward the sport end of the sport/touring spectrum. An non-Tupperware 800cc V4 with that's sporty but comfy to ride for long miles would be wonderful.

Where do I sign?

 

[Elipten_imp]

I have space, and the money. Honda bring it and 1 is spoken for. Now where is that 400 to go with it?

Oh yea, bring an updated CBX also Honda. Forget the cruiser junk.

I had a Suzuki Bandit 1200/S, the next best thing to a Honda CB1300/S.
