similar = The Honda CB1300 is a 1,284 cc motorcycle released in 1998 as a successor to the CB1000. Its engine, with only minor modifications, came straight from the Honda X4, which had been released the previous year. In 2003, the CB1300 received a slightly different engine, lacking the external cooling fins of the previous one.

Beginning in 2005, Honda has simultaneously offered two versions of the CB1300: the standard, unfaired model, and the Super Bol D'Or, which is fitted with a half-cowl.

The CB1300 has never been officially sold in in the United States.
