The 2014 Honda CB1300 Super Four released by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer was a naked machine that offered a stunning look and massive power, all fitted in a package that contained a mix of modern and old technology.
The bike was built around a lightweight double-cradle steel tube frame that housed a 1,284cc powerplant, which delivered massive engine performance and agile handling, topped by a great appearance that included shiny metal parts and a chromed exhaust system.
In addition, the model came with standard features, such as a dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a black-finished steel frame, a wide handlebar, a digital and analog instrument cluster, a round headlight, die-cast aluminum wheels, and a side stand.
In the performance department, the 2014 Honda CB1300 Super Four was powered by a 1,284cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 14 hp with maximum strength 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 fork on the front and dual shock absorbers with spring preload adjustability on the rear that offered great suspension performance.
As for braking power, the bike featured ABS that worked together with a pair of 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 256 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that provided optimum stopping power.
