2009 Honda CB1300

Introduction

Honda’s flagship Naked, the CB1300 is a refreshing combination of enormous fun and brawny good looks. At its centre looms a monstrous fuel-injected 1,284cm³ engine which delivers a smooth, effortless build of power and is tuned to deliver its best thrills in a torquey, full-bodied midrange. This beast is capably harnessed in a double-cradle steel tube frame and enhanced by gleaming bare aluminium and chrome surroundings. In spite of the CB’s big, bold size, the accommodating seat height and slim-design side covers offer an amazingly comfortable riding position. The seat conceals a spacious underseat utility space, and with a generous 21-litre fuel tank, nothing will come between you and the genuine, all-day riding pleasure that this machine offers.

The Honda high-quality finish is underlined by thoughtful details such as its fully electronic, amber backlit instrument panel and its brilliant multi-segment LED taillight. Braking performance is impeccable courtesy of ABS and, with full EURO-3 compliance the CB1300’s pleasures are more than accessible for everyday riding. If you want stunning visual impact, street-stomping performance and, most importantly, the honest joy of plain, unadorned motorcycling, this is the one for you.
