Watching this again after a couple of years. Still bloody impressive. Took mine out yesterday to scrub-in the new Pirelli Diablo Rosso tyres and enjoyed the magnificent soundtrack of this engine through the back roads of WA. Glorious noise! The old Bridgestones had reached their limit and liking the Pirellis now. I’d only sell this bike to get another one. I’d give this video another thumbs up if I could.
Thanks Dave. I'm living in Queensland while my bikes in NZ. I've been waiting patiently for a mint CB1300 to ride here and keep for ever and ever, good ones seem hard to come by. Enjoy your new Pirellis.
Fantastic! Probably weighs half again more than most machines there and corners well. I love mine and it’s quicker than the performance figures would have you believe. Looks identical, 2007 model. Great riding skills- right there!
Dave Johnson. Thanks. Yes identical bikes. Agree...the performance figures don’t do it justice. Its that good spread of torque from way down low to midrange, and better top end than my old GSX1400 that makes it so much fun without being manic!
what tyres are you running and what pressures for this day? I have an 09 Super Four and I just put on some T31's so I was curious. thx, great video. Pipes sound epic.
Hi Nick, tyres are Continental Road Attack 3. I seriously recommend these come time for new tyres...get freshly manufactored ones. All the reviews i read are eerily spot on. Here's one amcn.com.au/editorial/continental-road-attack-3/ My rears are finally due for replacement for track use after God knows how many track days they've done...way more than my selected track day videos. Plus touring, including last years Burt Munro with pillion plus luggage. The guys running the track days recommended i run low pressures of 30 psi cold front and rear from memory...this ensures they build heat fast and stay hot and sticky. When the day warmed up i'd increase the rears to about 34 psi cold from memory. Surprisingly my fronts are still good, given the trail breaking hammering they got.
Bro , this was an Awesome video!!!! Now you really showed that big Honda is capable of 👍 Watched other guys " Top End " run on a cb 1300 a few minutes ago , and almost fell asleep 😴 Boring!!! You need to go teach Don romance how to get through the gears on them big Hondas . Your exhaust sounds Awesome too !!! Really enjoyed your video bro , got me thinking maybe get rid of my Roadstar and get me a big Honda 1300 , cause man I miss the speed of my sportbike , but due to back surgery , had to give up my sportbike days, but a nice setup standard would be just the ticket 👍
Glad you enjoyed the vid. Sounds like the bike would suit you perfect. Of the GSX14 and XJR13 the Honda is my fav because of its better spread of power delivery and torque, and particularly the handling with good tyres. Super comfy means more enjoyable = permanent grin 👍
@@multihull40 Hey Retro , thanks for answering back!!! After watching you I am definitely giving serious thought to getting one of the Hondas , my last sportbike was an 04 cbr1000rr , and man oh man do I miss the speed , the ride ,, the fun !!! My buddy has an 01 FZ1 and I rode it but absolutely hated it!!!! Worst suspension ever!!!!! Thanks again , and I'm subscribed now 👍
@@gd6349 ...thanks Greg. Those bikes are modern day peaky fast. The 1300 by contrast is old school fast meaning more relaxed, super smooth and easy and comfy to ride. I've got mine stored back in NZ and can't wait for the boarders to open. Good luck with finding a good well maintained one to take for a ride and see what you think😎
If it’s in mint condition and rides well than 54k isn’t too many. Very under stressed engines. Mine’s mint with 65k. New brake pads/fluid, fork oil, chain / sprockets and new tyres and they feel like a new bike👍
@@multihull40 okay, good to know. Yes, these tyres are great. I saw on the thumbnail that you have installed an akrapovic exhaust can. Did you change the intake as well? (airboxmod or K&N)
No, stock standard.(it’s a Scorpion can) Would probably benefit from a good tune if I knew someone good Took the baffle out for the track...with the baffle in you hardly hear the engine note from inside the helmet, to help time the gear changes. Rarely took it above 7,600rpm... no need to and it saves the motor.

@davejohnson hi Dave have you done any tuning mods to it?
Last one on the brakes every single time!! Insane riding mate, absolutely killing it out there
Better than current affairs👍🏴
Pretty damned good on a heavy street bike....well done.... you sure can ride that big Honda... 🙂
What a gorgeous bike!!!

I've just taken my CB1300 around Puke and for a big bike shit she is fun! Heading back out in June 2022.
dude, really well done managing traffic
Love the video love the bike got one just like it. It’s always fun giving sports bikes a run for their money.
Glad you had fun watching your bike...the best colour scheme design model in my opinion 👍
Sounds great
Great video
Damn your braking makes me feel you're not gonna make it but there you are beating them all!
Pięknie. 👍
Awesome 🎉

Play to your strengths! Nice work. Do you guys break into groups based on skill level? If so, what group was this?
Yes 4 groups = slow / medium / medium-fast / fast. This was combination of medium and medium-fast stitched together. The fast guys were very-fast!
Well done
Super Dukester ...Glad you enjoyed.. 👍
how about the temprature engine during race day.?
Cool videos love this, have my eye on a cb1300s 07 with 54k on the clock it looks mint, too many k’s or no ?
If it’s in mint condition and rides well than 54k isn’t too many. Very under stressed engines. Mine’s mint with 65k. New brake pads/fluid, fork oil, chain / sprockets and new tyres and they feel like a new bike👍
Retro thanks man really appreciate your reply
Great riding. What year model is it? It's a Bol D'Or yeah?
Yes a 2005 CB1300S Bol D'Or with about 63k or so on the clock
Hey bro.That was really good.I am heading out for track day torrow at pukekohe will you be there as for track day.
Wish I was. I'm in Aus. Have fun!
Did you change anything on engine, transmission or suspension?
Greetings
New fork oil and adjustments for my 82kg weight. New Continental road attack 3 tyres are good 👍...google the reviews

Oh...I’m talking about Honda CB1300 ...the thumbnail is my equal favourite ride...GSX1400
@@multihull40 cool. Yeah, i'm talking about the CB1300 too. But the 1400 gsx is also great. Thx for the informations :)
Do much to the suspension?
New fork oil and adjustments settings to my weight...can’t remember what they were
Thanks for the reply
This bike can do 299km/h?
It's the on screen GoPro GPS speedometer measuring up to 299 kph
Looks awesome man. Recorded some sessions from my track day there (only been there twice) you make me look so slow! Check the vids out if you like.

1:15 Not a recommended line for sure.
Agree...unless you're diving underneath someone just before the apex, forcing an acute entry line and wide exit?
1300cc and only a 115hp, what a waste
Yes. The street fun is definitely in the V8 torque
