The CB1300 is a 1,284 cc (78.4 cu in) Honda motorcycle released in 1998 as a successor to the CB1000. Its engine, with minor modifications, came from the Honda X4, released in the previous year. In 2003, the CB1300 received a slightly different engine which lacked cooling fins.
Beginning in 2005, Honda offered two versions of the CB1300: the standard, unfaired model, and the Super Bol D'Or (in Europe the CB1300S), with half fairing.[1]
The CB1300 has never been sold by authorized dealers in the United States or Canada.[2][3] Gray market importers brought in small numbers.
