Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 1997, 1998
The honda CB1300 was a naked bike manufactured by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Honda as a successor to the Honda CB1000, internally known as the SC30. In February 1998, Honda announced the launch of the CB1300 motorcycle, which was designed as a stripped-down superbike road racer.
The bike was based on the X4 model, which was the best-selling bike in the over-750cc class in 1997 and featured a DOHC inline four-cylinder engine, with the intake, exhaust, and ignition characteristics tuned for more torque in the low rpm range.
The bike featured a double cradle mono-backbone frame that used steel tubes with both cylindrical and rectangular cross-sections, which helped deliver a balance of flexibility with tough rigidity while providing excellent turning ability and smooth, light handling for such a large machine.
In the power department, the 1998 Honda CB1300 was powered by a 1,284cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronic fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 114 hp at 7,500 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,000 rpm.
As for suspension, the bike packed a 45 mm inner tube with a high-rigidity bottom bridge for a dynamic feel on the front and a double Pro-Link suspension on the rear, which was a first on a production Honda motorcycle.
As for braking power, the bike featured two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a single 265 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that offered strong braking performance.
