I've had mine 11 years. Love the grunty motor. Completed the Nc500 route on it April 2019. Did really well but could feel the fully loaded weight going over apple cross pass. Last year bought vfr1200 ...another weighty bike. Weight feels much higher on that so not great at slow speeds but doesn't half go when open her up...much faster than my cb1300. CB is better on B roads...can use power easier.
My first bike was the CB 400 Super Four, then after some other bikes among the years (VFR 800 etc) my last one was the CBR 1100 Super Blackbird. Amazing bike. I ordered firstly the CB 1300 and i was ready to buy it but then a friend persuate me to buy the CBR. So i canceled the CB and bought the CBR. I still have a bitter taste because i didnt buy this bike. I hope one day i can manage to buy it as my last bike. Safe rides dudes.
Cheers. Interesting you should say that. I’ve test ridden modern big sport touring bikes and find i always much prefer the modern retro bikes...accessible, smooth adrenaline hits from 1,200 RPM ...no need to ring its neck to have so much fun at safer speed. they look good too, like a bike should look! My next bike will probably be another CB1300 mint condition, or a GSX1400 or both...which I’ve owned new before. My other fav is the ‘14 black XJR1300 which I ride on Sunday’s. Quite liked the reviews and look of the VFR800 by the way...
That sounds SO GOOD! I've also come from a CB400, VFR800, and was looking at a more relaxed cb1300 but got an offer on a bandit 1250 I couldn't refuse. After deleting the secondary butterflies, compensating for fuel, and adding a fork brace I think it'd hold a candle to the CB1300, but it'll never sound as good. Turn 1 at hampton is pretty scary in a car, let alone a bike.. Your braver than I.
Mole Finkle ...glad you enjoyed. I’m primarily an ol GSX 1100 / 1400 fan from way back...love those torquey motors. The CB1300 has similar characteristics and comfort, but handles a bit better at high speed with more mid to mid top end than the 1400. I had the baffle out by the way!
Sorry to hear you let such a good example go...a comfortable great all rounder, and beautiful in that modern muscle bike classic way...mine ain't going nowhere
New fork oil (and brake pads) Suspension settings to my weight (82kg) Front pre load reasonably stiff slightly improves hard braking. Aftermarket exhaust baffle removed purely for great sound! (Seems to have slightly less torque but bit better mid / top end with baffle removed)
I really love the look of the CB1300S and often dream of having one for touring, while my NC would stay for commuting duty... I see you can go fast with such a big lady, but is it ... well... "much harder?" compared to modern, lighter bikes like a XSR900 or Z900 ?
The CB is a comfy capable tourer and city bike. On the track it still behaves reasonably ok...with lots of ‘man-handling’. But nothing like an XSR900. Heres one I came up behind at 7:08 th-cam.com/video/wbUAihx3OCs/w-d-xo.html we drag raced down the back straight, though to be fair I got a better exit
Quick question. If you were to drive a CB1300, Daytona 675 and a Kawasaki 636 in a straight line from 20 mph to 100, which one would take you there first?
your mom & dad won't agree to buy you a Kawasaki 636 or anything like that, plus, no insurance company would sell you a policy because you're a high-school kid
@@multihull40 www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/Honda/honda_cb1300_super_touring_10.htm Honda CB1300 reaches peak torque at 6000 revs, so no one would start from 20mph in top gear (and the sports bikes would probably stall)
Read my post properly...Any big-bore bike can trundle along at 20 mph in top gear no problem. Twist the throttle on a CB1300 at 20mph and it with power away from any small bore sports bike also in top gear. Yes?
Absolute beast riding skills, I hope people appreciate that your doing this with no electronic aids whatsoever.
This sound became the benchmark for me, regarding 4 cylinder bikes.
I can't stop smiling.. well done !!!
Great riding 👌
Great bike
Great video..
I've watched/ listen to it about 6 times... 😎
Thanks man !
Haha, I watched it more than 6 times😎👍
please, do more, you are good rider !!
Ha ha ha ... me too 5 or 6 times

You clearly have confidence in the front end!
Yes, when it comes to shove, these front ends tend to push a little bit...good front tyres and suspension settings the key!

I've had a few track days on that very track... that my friend is great riding... 👍🏍
An awesome bike too
Heavy but awesome
I have one myself 🤣
Reeeeally wish we got this one in the states
Great video ! Nice ride, sound and bike !
Thanks!
I miss my super 4, should have never traded it in, I took it to California Superbike School at Taupo, it was a huge amount of fun.
Sorry to hear you let such a good example go...a comfortable great all rounder, and beautiful in that modern muscle bike classic way...mine ain't going nowhere
Nice video 😊 my bike is a cb1300s too i love it
Cheers. Yes, so much to love!
@@multihull40 come on see my video if you want 😁
Hoping to have this as my first bike!! Can’t wait!
If you get a good one you will not be disappointed, guaranteed!
Got mine last week
Dein Fahren ist sehr schön anzusehen 👍🏻 Sound ist klasse ✌🏻
7:46 ist da der Gang rausgesprungen?
Yes. Never done that before. Might not have been in properly because of fast clutch-less gear changes.
Brutal!
Brilliant.
Oustanding riding! Anything done on suspension and exhaust system?
New fork oil (and brake pads) Suspension settings to my weight (82kg) Front pre load reasonably stiff slightly improves hard braking. Aftermarket exhaust baffle removed purely for great sound! (Seems to have slightly less torque but bit better mid / top end with baffle removed)
@@multihull40 Cool! Is it a full exhaust system or just a slipon?
Just a slip on...fairly quiet one. Would so love it tuned to a full system yoshi or similar

Starting from 20mph in top gear, to 100mph, probably the CB1300 given it’s low rpm grunt. Otherwise the 6speed sports bikes should stomp it home !

You seem to be braking a bit late. Just really wondering. Are you compensating for lack of power? I'm also a CB1300 owner.
Hooman Nili Yes, as you do. Though I’d still ride the same if I had 40hp more minus 30kg
@@multihull40 Great. Thanks for explaining that. All the best on this lovely bike :-)
