CTX1300
If you go to the Honda Power Sports web page they have released information concerning the new CTX1300. Looks like an interesting motorcycle and one that I might consider owning.

It's most direct competition will be the F6B or so it would appear to me.

I find the Wing and the F6B just a bit more then I need and I am hoping the CTX1300 is just right.

I did ride a CTX700 and liked it a lot but I think I would like just a bit more. This 1300 could be the middle ground I am looking for. Probably will not see one until spring.

Money will be a critical part of the this. That's not discussed as yet which I always wonder about. Have they not decided or what? Have to ask you can't afford it? Or are they taking suggestions?

My bikes: Honda CTX700 DCT ABS, 2012 Vespa GTV300,2012 Harley Sportster custom, 2010 Bonneville SE

The few articles I've seen about this bike suggest that Honda has stated a ballpark price of $17K.

RE: CTX1300
Honda is really rocking. They've put out more new models, with innovative and appealing features, than I've seen since the early '80's. Even the CB was a shock, I never thought we would get them here.

I won't buy a CTX, theyre just not my type of bike. But they're neat as heck, and I hope they bring a lot of new riders into the sport.

That sure sounds like they are using the ST1300 motor.

If one can assume this new bike is shaft drive, I can see one in my garage in a few years. Love those Honda V-4's. That is THEIR motor.

The tech specs on the website mentioned above say "Final Drive: Shaft".

They are. Its re-tuned, but it is the ST engine.

RE: CTX1300
So I was wondering, Is it a retuned ST motor? Wink

If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

It appears they to pains to avoid the Great Chain Alignment debate by going to shaft drive. I just wonder what motor they'll be using.... Angel
