I have one of these, and having owned nearly 20 bikes in my lifetime this is #1. Its so comfortable, its like riding a couch. The power is acceptable, but the low end torque is where this bike really sines. You can get up and go from a stand still and clear an intersection in the blink of an eye. I like to know the power is there if I need it when I'm city riding. Don't let the weight fool you, I swear this bike handles just as well as my old 1983 Yamaha Maxim 650 I use to own (453lbs). I swear you can toss this 745lb monster around like a dirt bike. Best bike I've ever owned, hand down. I'll be keeping it for years to come.

I've been a Harley owner for the past twenty years; own two currently (Wide Glide & Street Glide). Bought one of these last month; in the spring my Harleys will both be sold. This CTX1300 does everything my wife & I want; in a more relaxed, refined manner. It needs cruise control (McCruise makes a good one), the taller windscreen, and highway pegs and it's ready to hit the road. Lighter, lower, smaller than an F6B. Excellent bike.

When comparing it to bikes like the FJR1300 and Concours 14, it's not hard to see why this bike was a dud and was available as a new model year "leftover" for a long time. Just comes down to there being better bikes out there in this size/displacement class for the buck.

It is odd first its called the CTX but really has nothing, nada, Zip in common with the 700 and the sad part is they didn't try and bridge off of their 700 market, so you develop a Market against the grain with the built in storage and the Automatic (Wonderful) by the way, and then you crush it by not offering anything higher in that style of Bike? Did Honda just get up one day and say hey look we have these extra CTX insignia's, now I know that this new 1300 Sherman has nothing in common with the early CTX line but did I mention we have these extra insignia's after all it's not like it's a car, it's just a Bike.

I wound up buying one . I chose it over a Guzzi 1400 California. I really like it. It isn't a perfect bike but what it is is a mile munching bike that seems like a spawn of a Guzzi that got gang raped by an Acura. Super refined , comfy seat and it handles well for a cruiser. I call it a Goldwing Jr. After a bit of accessories like a tall wind screen, the luggage box, fog lights and heated grips you're ready for the IronButt. Big drawback is the overly soft suspension and the lack of aftermarket. All in all a great touring bike.

The Honda CTX1300 like the Goldwing, is design for long distance cruising and comfort, not speed or performance wise and 83HP is more than enough for highway speed. If you really want to compare horsepower choose a bike in the right category: KTM is belong in the performance category (sport, super sport and even sport touring) while this bike is more in the cruising category (Harley Davidson bagger line like Road King, Streetglide or other brands).

Well there's a reason why it's called a sport touring: It's lightweight, has a sport (performance) engine and can cruise for a long distance with comfortable ride posture! And for the hp part, well lets say that 83hp sounds more attractive than 60hp, don't you agree? So yeah for people who preferred performance like you this bike makes no sense at all! But for certain people (maybe middle age or older) who want a bike that look modern and sporty with capability of long touring then this bike is for them. Personally I'd rather take the bonneville t100 and convert it into touring for budget bike or just take a damn Road King with the same price! (I love Harley btw)

Paul Darling Btw, you should do some research on torque/rpm and horsepower relationship. It will tell you why high displacement engine gives out so little power (harley, this bike and other cruisers) and why low displacement engine gives out such a high power (your bike, cbr1000 or 600). Here's an easy to understand explanation www.totalmotorcycle.com/school-SectionSixB.htm

Make a cool bike with a engine that won't rev 🤦. I'd. Buy a Harley if I wanted to redline at 7000rpm .

Nice bike but they really screwed up the hp from 115 hp down to 89 hp ! WHY? WHO KNOWS! That’s typical Honda! I wanted a revamped ST1300 with a cruise control but they came out with this thing WITH THESE AWFUL LOOKING USELESS BAGS ! so i bought an FJR1300!

This guy evidently never rode the bike as the mirrors suck! suspension is horrid, hit a decent bump and it will jar your rib cage. I guess Honda is entitled to a blunder once in a while.

I'm a ST1300 rider for 10 years. All I have to say is, why? They butchered the a ST1300, cut out all its cool, class and comfort and replaced it with ugly and dull. Heaven knows what they were aiming at?

So if you're looking for a goofy motorcycle less interesting in a train, but that handles like one, check it out. Sure.

What a hideous creation. Honda hasn't come out with a bike I would buy for many years, they seem to get worse and worse.

Samer Hamod Thanks, will do. He used to be a former subscriber, and yet he does not know what he is talking about, probably because he never owned one like we do. :) Will do. :) When you get a chance, stop by my channel and see what I have done so far, and if you want to, subscribe to it. I upload consistently. :) I am making a video of my first oil change, and I am running into some problems along the way. The next part I have to do is the oil filter change, and it seems that the oil filter strap metal wrench is not working. Going to have to get something else.

renegadebiker24 sorry for the late response! Just subbed, but I gotta clarify something: I got to ride a friend '14 CTX, I unfortunately dont own one (yet :) ). Anyways, love your content and way to explaining things, your channel might be very useful when I get my hands on one of those beauties. :D

SilentPrayingmanTis I got mine as a demo for about 19,000 for the Deluxe model, and I was the only one in Northwest Arkansas that had it at the time, now the dealership has been selling some more of them. I think the Deluxe model probably goes for more than 19,000.
