HONDA CB1300 Super Four (2004-2005) Specs, Performance & Photos

In February 1998, Honda announced the launch of the CB1300 motorcycle, which was designed as a stripped-down superbike road racer. When Honda first released the CB1300 Super Four back in 1998, it came with a 1,284cc engine with minor modifications borrowed from the X4 model released in 1997 and intended as a successor to the CB100 Super Four motorcycle.

In 2005, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB1300 Super Four, a naked motorcycle part of the CB series that didn't feature many changes over the years. Along with the 2005 CB1300, Honda offered another version called CB1300 Super Bol D'Or, also known as the CB1300S in the European market, which featured a half fairing and the same technical specifications as the standard model.

In the performance department, the 2005 Honda CB1300 Super Four had its heartbeat set by a 1,285cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a PGM-FI electronic fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 114 hp with a peak at 7,500 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,000 rpm.

For suspension, the bike packed a 43 mm telescopic cartridge-type fork on the front and dual piggyback shock absorbers with spring preload adjustability on the rear.

As for braking performance, the 2005 CB1300 featured two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 256 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

In addition, the bike came with ABS as a standard feature, die-cast aluminum wheels, a dual seat, a passenger grab handle, a wide handlebar, an analog and digital instrument cluster, and a blacked-out steel frame.
