The 2011 Honda CB1300 Super Four launched by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer was a naked or standard machine that offered a stunning look and massive power, all fitted in a package that contained a mix of modern and old technology.

Right from the factory, the bike came with standard features, such as a dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a wide handlebar, a digital and analog instrument cluster, a black-finished lightweight steel tube frame, die-cast aluminum wheels, an ABS braking system, and a side stand.

In the performance department, the bike featured at the center of the steel tube frame a 1,284cc powerplant fed by a PGM-FI electronically controlled fuel injection system that offered strong mid-range performance.

As for the power figures, the 2011 Honda CB1300 Super Four had its soul brought to life by a 1,284cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered 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.

The ABS braking system worked together with 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 that provided strong braking performance.
