    Honda cb1300 x4

    Any Honda cb1300x4 riders out there? This model as far as I know was only exported from Japan to Germany I would be interested to know how any owners rate the bike and would also be interested in talking with anyone who owns one of these bikes. My model is a 1998 and am really enjoying it.
    Cheers

    Arrow Just out of interest,

    how heavy are they and do they take much riding due to the weight?

    Never seen one around Perth. Rare as the proverbial hens teeth I reckon.

    honda x4

    http://www.motorbikes.be/en/Honda/2001/X%204/
    This will have all the info on this model I had a honda 750v4 before and found it a little high . the x4 is a lot lower and so real easy to ride .extra weight no problem. this bike is a bute to ride even in slow traffic (2 up). overtaking is a breeze - no need to change down with so much torque 121 nm (89.2 ft.lbs)@5000 rpm

    nice cruiser. pics on my profile
    Cheers

    White Trash rode one to Flyin's funeral. Silver, with a fly screen. Probably why he's moving to Auckland...

    Have owned one of these bikes now for about a year, was not intending to buy a honda but after the first ride i was sold. Very comfortable and really fell for the look of the bike thou i have changed a few things since purchase.

    Would I be right thinking the current CB1300 engine is a version of that engine?

    It looks like it has the identical engine to the Honda Big One.

    Rode both CB1300 and X4 in Thailand this year

    no comparison X4 horrible except on open roads where it was OK
    CB1300 good bike even in traffic

    These bikes were not new and not necessarily maintained well
    But I wouldn't ride a X4 again (rode 2 of them) but it was hard choice between my new Bandit and the Cb1300
    price was the big decider

    Hi I have one in Wellington, Im a well healed rider and owned many bikes over the 30 + years of riding, I saw this thing for sale on trade me and thought it looked interesting so had a look and threw my short leg over ( I have two short legs not just the one... although the misses says I have three short legs but thats another story ) and it fit me perfectly like no other bike I've ridden. Fired her up, she has two brothers pipes on it and sound better than an inline four should sound! then went for a blast..... well these things are restricted to 100 hp with a rev and speed limiter but man these things have torque and in a straight line was very impressive, I noted the rear shocks were naf and the fork oil could probably with changing with my boots and pegs touching down too easily but what a very comfortable impressive bike.
    we agreed on a very reasonable price and home she went. new shocks fork oil and she is transformed, if you have ridden one and didn't like it then ride a good one..... super comfortable one up and two up, the misses loves it too as the pillion is quite elevated. not too many around and has presence, where ever I stop people look at her.
    And heres the best part..find yourself a carbie blackbird CDI plug it in and this removes ALL the limits on the engine ! I'm still looking for one.. anyone here have one????
    they are a beast weighing 265kg dry and the tank is a bit small as you will want to hammer it of the line at the lights but like a big old comfy arm chair thats not at all tiring to ride for hours... not its not a sports bike and not designed to be but has good suspension good brakes and if you have the balls handles pretty well but its the torque in a straight line that will get you.

    I imagine they have gone up in value in the ten years since the OP. There's probably only the one of these bikes in NZ and this thread comes up when the new owner Googles it.
