HONDA CB1300S Super Bol D'or (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2008, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB1300S Super Bol D'or, a standard motorcycle part of the CB series and the big naked sector, which was not the largest selling segment at the time, but still offered some good choices.

Honda's latest entry in 2008 was an updated version of the CB1300 that packed a half fairing with a small tinted windscreen, which enhanced wind protection and reduced pressure and fitted with a rectangular headlight.

Besides the half fairing with the small windscreen and the rectangular headlight, the bike also packed standard features, such as a blacked-out steel frame, a digital and analog instrument cluster, a dual seat and a passenger grab handle, and die-cast aluminum wheels.

Other than that, it was the same machine as the standard model, powered by a 1,284 cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a PGM-FI electronically controlled fuel injection system that delivered an output power of 114 hp with maximum strength at 7,500 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,000 rpm.

For suspension, the 2008 Honda CB1300S Super Bol D'or packed a 43 mm telescopic cartridge-style fork on the front and dual shock absorbers with spring preload adjustability on the rear, while the braking power was handled by 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.
