Lot of people says that this bike hasn't soul, whatever this one would to mean, because they may confuses "soul" with brutal horse power engine or with a argueable (ugly most of times) stetics, but FOR ME, repeat, FOR ME, is a beautiful well thinking and logical bike. Enough torque does not needs 6 speeds, this a proof of this machine was made for real life of most of us.

[@Kenj_Sanchz]

It has no s oul because its a beast

[@Terraceview]

Still looks incredible, maybe even better than 10 years ago.

[@garyk8285]

I have the CB400SF, in metallic white... I love the 1980s themes of this bike - classic front, party at rear. Right on my era. I'd upgrade to one of these eventually. They actually look better in the flesh!

[@DieselRundqvist]

I have one, from -06. Lovely bike ! Any negativitys...? One: Only 5 gear transmission.

[@davidrutherford3345]

The CB1300 stood the test of time ! Honda are still making it in 2023, 20 years on and better looking than any of its contenders ever were, Honda quality and looks win for me.

[@Ryzen_56X]

I love all big CB1000SF, CB1100SF Xeleven and CB1300SF, great bikes !!!

[@karlo134652]

I will choose this over Harley.

[@ylism]

Nice looking bike indeed, even if it's not dated enough, to look older, would love to ride one for a few years.

[@davidrutherford3345]

Still the best looking in 2020

[@littleclay5875]

IOW - best motorcycle ever made - so far

[@tsav2148]

Wonder if this bike will be coming to the US? The CB1100 is a big hit here.

[@JojoCrazyCat]

Retro, best bikes in the world.

[@colinhollyer2013]

Jojo Crazy Cat I agree totally, I have one and love it

[@thanhlichnguyen9941]

This's my dream....hix...

[@vicitgladiator5503]

I have my first bike. Im thinking i want to own at least 3 bikes. My bike is a good beginners bike but i will get sentimental about it and when i upgrade i think ill keep it.

[@Wileylikethehawk]

Love it.

[@leonardoatx3]

Perfect as it is

[@tttttttalp]

A melhor naked que a honda fez e será sempre a melhor Recomendado para adulto kkk

[@patrickcosgrave1863]

Lovely machine if it had another pipe it would look the biz imo

[@crankybear1236]

I wish Honda would bring this to the USA

[@nigel274]

Remember this program....reviewer was really irritating. Owned a cb1300s for 12 years. Lovely bike

[@enisguersoy]

Hi Nigel! I am considering to buy one and I would like to know what actually irritated you about the reviewer?

[@nigel274]

@@enisguersoy hi Enis......had to remind myself by rewatching video. I used to watch this program in early 2000's and the guy generall irritated me on his reviews. Just didn't rate his opinions. CB 1300 is a lovely bike. Powerful and handles well forv a heavy bike. I zoom along and hasn't let me down ever. Plenty of low down grunt. If I had one criticism it would be could do with a 6th gear on motorway (the new ones in Japan have this) . Mine looks like new but if go out on a shitty day it takes a bit of cleaning to keep that way. I also own a VFR 1200F which is a lot more powerful and faster but I still love riding my CB 1300 which says a lot. I did 1400 miles on NC500 in Scotland and it happily went over Applecross pass and never missed a beat. They are also going up in value..paid £5500 in 2009;with 600 miles on it. Saw one same year today (2008) for sale at £6500. Nuff said.

[@Google_Does_Evil_Now]

@@nigel274 I test rode the VFR 1200 with the auto and I really liked it. But at the time I was happy with my Fireblade. I was really tempted by the VFR 1200 though, beautiful, classy looking, glossy, modern and fast. How do the VFR 1200 and CB1300 compare? Can CB 1300 corner on a roundabout doing a good speed?

[@nigel274]

@@Google_Does_Evil_Now hi. VFR is lot faster and handles better at fast speeds. It's gearing is a lot higher. CB1300 has suspension but has plenty of torque and handles well. Could do with a 6th gear on motorways but other than that lovely

[@jacobeksor6088]

It’s stunning , how much?

[@TheZetec63]

Gsx 14.. That's the one.. Xjr next for me..

[@tantu2395]

In the real world, the beauty doesn't looks too big or too heavy as the big number 1300cc suggest.

[@vstm3950]

Not looking old enough. What a dope dude. Your momma looking old enough

[@terryjohn]

is the clutch lever light on pulling in on the honda

[@hoomannili]

A bit subjective, but I'd say yes. I have no problem with my CB1300, though if you use it a lot, like in London traffic, you do feel it a bit.

[@mytyhor]

is honda x4 1300 and cb1300 the same gene?

[@Ryzen_56X]

Yes they are, they both use the same 1998 engine.

[@TheZetec63]

X4 restricted...

[@kalaga2k]

I wish they bring them to north america

[@user-ln4mu4hb8e]

Не знаю что говорите но мот супер

The fueling on the naked one is crap..the one I had was anyway

CB 1100 is a better looking bike,unfortunately,neither have shaft drive which is a deal breaker for me.👎

Put some phony fins on it? What a dork.

[@jodtan9256]

The Suzuki GSX 1400 looks a lot better

[@Don-lw4cb]

The discoloured down pipes spoil the look of it. The Japanese always used to double skin their chrome down pipes so they didn't blue.
