cbx sounds better to stock vs. stock anyways.

those cbx1300's are INSANELY HIGH to purchase for some reason they are like gold, well almost.   I know not many around and if had the gumption to buy one used in the 80's and kept it not lost a dime on it am sure.    I gravitated towards the mid 80's honda magna instead much rather preferred 4 cylinders to the shadow's vtwin 2 cylinders.   But, as we all know,  6 better than 4, 4 better than 2....

           Higher pitched more like an F-1 the Honda hands down.  cooldude More throaty deeper rumble the Kawasaki. Did Not look it up but wunderin which one revs the highest. In the 60s had seen some factory works bikes testing if I recall near Mt. Fuji. Pick a brand. I remember some of the loudest engine screams I've ever heard in my life then. The revs they were pullin were fantastic. RIDE SAFE.

When Honda was racing with 4 strokes vs 2 strokes in the 60's, they were reving to 20,000 RPM in some engines (maybe higher).

A Voyager XI trumps both.

The first 900lb touring motorcycle.
