CB1300S. the clue is in the 2-up.
heaps of turbine-like grunt. great track day bike. comfortable all day cruising, or peg scraping coro loops. The only thing NOT going for it is it's a Honda . . . . . . .

You could if you had ridden, tested and lived with them all.
My choice was about what made me feel best when I was on it. Enjoyment, comfort (and I just don't mean arse), fun and feel good.

Let me guess - you chose the MP3.

Power, handling, sexiness, what more could you want.
FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
One hell of a ride.
Accurate summary - Very favourable review in the aforementioned current edition too.
Sitting here trying to think of a reason why I wouldn't take it.
There are none. I found it a very attractive all round bike. Far a big man it's very hard to fault - but not it.
It didn't make me grin like the 'winner' though.
Pasta farts
it's got the spring yes, but not the damping. I prefer NOT to stoppie when trying to stop in a hurry!No I didn't - I said guess which one I picked.
Your weight the suspension would be sweet - they just don't have enough spring for moi.
One hell of a ride.
Nah. It has some neat features, but with me on it - it needed a clown suit as well.
One hell of a ride.
I didn't find that at all.
In fact - the harshness of the front end was the issue.
One hell of a ride.
Same problem as the Thruxton. Not big man ergos.
parting of the sensory
Big Dave sed:
"If money was no issue - I'd sure buy one. It goes beautifully and is extremely comfortable and usable for someone 195cm and 115kg. Excellent in fact."
Big Dave's also very carefully not replying to any posts that mention this bike. Mebbe Big Dave's trying to draw the thread out, build the suspense, that kinda thang....
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
I don't believe it would be the CBR - it's just too small for you.
We're getting down to the Tiger 1050, or the V-Strom. The V-Strom is old hat now. The Tiger MUST take it, with the speed triple engine, but go-anywhere attitude.
One hell of a ride.
I did, do. Nicest sounding bike I've ridden. My size. Great performer for a huge bike.
It's just too far 'left field' for me. Not often I say that.
The gene that makes me covet a '64 Camaro doesn't favour a wild custom....Honda.
I like bikes
CB1300s followed by fireblade for me.
Once again, geez Dave, you've got a sweet job

Fatboi for you Dave.
None of them made me want to pick them, so i would say Blade (despite too many cylinders)...
"If life gives you a shit sandwich..." someone please complete this expression
One hell of a ride.
The Tiger has possibly the best engine yet put in a motorcycle.
Apart from a ? on service costs fault that sucker.
Aesthetically like the Strom - it doesn't work for me - and personally I don't like bodywork, screens or fairings at all. Used to when I was fat - no need since I'm fit.
