Conclusion - what sticks
From our point of view, the Honda CB1300 is a real insider tip on the market of used motorcycles. What you get here for about 5,000 euros in driving fun and quality is really enormous. This bike will still look good after 100,000 km, as long as you maintain it regularly. If you are looking for a classic big bike with an outstanding engine and addictive sound, you should take a test ride. The small disadvantages that a 15-year-old bike has compared to a modern machine are gladly accepted - very gladly even!The test machine was kindly provided by ourselves for this test. Thank you Honda for building the CB1300!
