IF there's anything better than a CTX1300, then it definitely must be a Deluxe edition of this 2013 bike. The Deluxe version brings in ABS, integrated saddlebags, adjustable suspensions, LED headlights, self-cancelling turn signals, and an audio package with integrated Bluetooth connectivity for enhanced convenience.

At the same time, the bike proudly shows off distinctive blacked-out elements for a more individual look and stronger head-turning factor. Further customization is of course, possible using the extra accessories Honda offers. And to make touring even more comfortable, you also get an USB port in the smaller front storage compartments.

The 2013 CTX1300 is another bike Honda offers to those in search of a machine with solid GoldWing DNA, but with a smaller displacement and a more affordable price. Honda loaded its longitudinal crankshaft 4V engine in the 2014 CTX1300 and reinterpreted the F6B generic design cues into a more futuristic way, blending in both modern and old-school lines.

The resulting bike is as a nifty middleweight tourer which retains the massive, commanding F6B-inspired looks but adds a completely new direction, possibly showing the direction Honda plans to follows in the future. Powerful and with huge road worthiness, the 2013 CTX1300 is still easy to master and exceptionally fun to ride.

The T version of the CTX700 machine is Honda's idea of a modern middleweight tourer. It retains all the practicality of the base model, with its low, reassuring seat and relaxed, upright cruiser-inspired position, and manual 6-speed transmission.

Still, the CTX700T has ABS as standard trim, adding to the safety of the ride, shortening the stopping distance and adding stability when braking in the wet. The height-adjustable windscreen is also useful for longer hauls as the enhanced weather protection it offers adds to the touring comfort.

Just like the rest of the bikes in CTX family, the base 700 version received the nifty DCT and ABS add-ons aimed at riders who want to take the next step towards semi- or full-automatic transmissions and who prefer the added peace of mind anti-locking brakes come with.

With gears adjacent to the engaged one "armed" at all times, the DCT ensures minimal shifting times, no power gap and enhanced fuel efficiency for the new 670cc parallel-twin. However, the bike retains its full road touring capabilities and everyday practicality, being equally suitable for both vacations and commuting.

The 2012 CTX700 is the base model in the new CTX family, a bike engineered to provide all-rounder versatility, while being practical and fun, and easy to recognize among countless others. Its attire is an interesting mix of naked looks, cruiser comfort, road touring convenience and a fresh design appealing to younger riders.

A full-fledged middleweight machine, the 2012 CTX700 still boasts a low seat to be reassuring for riders with a shorter inseam and offers great mileage from the modern 670cc parallel twin engine without sacrificing power.

As the CTX700N is all about modern motorcycle technology, it was natural that Honda offered a top-notch version equipped with Dual Clutch Transmission (hence the DCT suffix) and ABS. The DCT literally comprises two clutches, so the gears adjacent to the engaged one are already "armed", with shifting time being reduced to the minimum, while gear transitions are as smooth as it gets.

In either full automatic or "paddle mode", the CTX700ND DCT ABS changes the way riders experience their machines and the roads they use, bringing a new level of comfort to those who are not big fans of using the bike's transmission to "fight" the asphalt.

The new member in the Honda family seems to offer the right balance between styling and power, maneuverability and practicality: the 2012 CTX700N epitomizes the simplicity of all-round performance, packed in a bike which looks good and works even better.

A low seat allows smaller riders to get a firm foothold when stopped, boosting confidence and adding to a ride's joy. The bike is powered by a new-generation parallel-twin engine with a very elastic transmission and crisp fuel injection, with multiple present-day technologies adding to the comfort and safety, the 2012 CTX700N is THE modern Honda all-rounder.
