I love the CB but I would have thought long and hard over a fuel injected ZRX if it were available here.

I always had a bit of desire for an Eddie Lawson replica.

Honda won't import the CB1300 for me.

You can say that again. The modern UJM is not dead. It's just not offered in North America.Capo_imp said:I love that bike. And the big Suzuki and Yamaha burly UJM's that we don't get here.thumper_imp said:Honda won't import the CB1300 for me.

I was at our local bike night at a bar in Freehold, NJ last summer, my group of six guys on Triumphs and Ducatis, amid a sea of Harley's and metric cruisers. All of a sudden, a guy pulls up on a GSX 1400. The six of us rush over, thinking its a mirage. Turns out the dude actually bought on in the UK, disassembled it, brought it back in crates, put it back together, and got a special construction title for it here. If I had the time and patience....

I bet there's a thriving business supplying aftermarket exhausts for the CB1300. That thing is huge!

Especially like the Motogp style exhaust on this bike. Kawasaki should build this bike again and perhaps the CB1100 will inspire them to do so.CB4ME_imp said:

Are you kidding me?
I trip over all of those bikes new and used all the time in England!
From what I've heard from owners, the GSX1400 is too big and unwieldy in bends, the XJR1300 I considered but they're two a penny over here and pretty nondescript looking. The CB1300 is a beauty, but weights a cuss-ton. I've sat on a few and they're BIG!
I wouldn't swap my CB1000 for any of these bikes.
It's lower, lighter, better built and rarer. I've had numerous people stare at my CB, and one bloke whilst I was paying for petrol actually said "that's a really nice bike you've got there mate!"
This was in England where we never talk to strangers, unless we're mental, or robbing them!

Edited to see, GSX1400 no longer imported to UK.

My experience in the UK, says in pubs strangers are talked to, especially if they have a yank accent.

Tortuga, in your post you mentioned that you would not swap your CB1000 for the other bikes.
Did you mean to say CB1100 or do you also own a CB1000
I have a 94 and 95 CB1000 and absolutely love these bikes.

Not much of a kawi fan but I'd take the big cb 1300 any day. That's the one I would actually buy if Honda ever decides to import it to the states. I mean damn if they can bring in the NM4 then certainly they can bring in a few cb1300's.

Undoubtedly very nice motorcycles all...
my issue with all these new age UJMs is the back ends don't look right to me sticking up in the air on an angle more like a sport bike than a UJM, with too much space between the tire and the seat area and weird rear fenders and tail light assys. And the Honda doesn't have any cylinder fins. All too modern looking for me. To me they are simply naked sport bikes.
