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.
The bikes manufactured before 2003 were internally known as the SC40 and featured an engine with false cooling fins, while the models built after 2003 were internally known as the SC54.
The 2001 bike featured a double cradle mono-backbone frame made of 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.
Also, the bike came equipped from the factory with a four-in-two chromed exhaust system with a muffler mounted on the right side, a dual seat, a passenger grab handle, an analog and digital instrument cluster, a round headlight, and a side stand.
As for power, the 2001 Honda CB1300 Super Four 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 with maximum strength at 6,000 rpm.
Bolted to the engine, a five-speed manual transmission converted all the power generated by the powerplant into motion and pushed the bike to a top speed of 232 kph (144 lbs).
