CTX 1300

[Big Al of Tennessee]

LCD Screen, Blue Tooth Connectivity, Stereo, it's got a stereo.

This bike is a winner.

[cookiedough]

Where is the missing windshield?

I haven't checked out the price new, but it seems to look like a decent 4 cylinder alternative to the higher priced 6 cylinder. 

[Gavin_Sons]

Now thats cool, ill be checking that bike out too.

[Romeo]

Thought the same thing Brad. The plastic between the seat and the gauge cluster/dash, seemed a little strange,but the riding position seed good to me, something I was wondering about.

[Jess from VA]

Somebody is going to make a 15" recurve for it sooner or later.

Clearview doesn't yet.

I like this bike, but not without a full shield.

[Jack B]

You will also like the motor. I have ST1300 same motor and it flat out goes. Way faster than our Valk's.

Your Valk maybe, only one way to find out about the others.     Hoser

I have my Valk and an ST1300. Top Gear roll on, Valk pulls out until about 100mph then the ST flies past. Up through the gears, ST wins. Top speed, not even close. I've seen 165 on the ST.

most valks suck..... a few are blown.. them ones would give the ST a run for their money

Cycle World states about $17, 000 for it. That's going to hurt as bad as a new valk.

Ouch, no thanks,  anything much past 10 grand is overpriced and not worth it.

[Sorcerer]

One of the MC mags claimed it is a detuned 1300.

[WNGD]

ell, I get chastised a bit for voicing my opinion too much on the new Valk so I'll leave this one alone..........

Eeerrr Nope, there's 2.

Ask Smokin Joe how fast an ST1300 is thru Deals Gap.

It is an ST1300 engine.

As to detuned?????

In a straight line or throw in a few tight curves

I believe ,if you're referring to the picture link, it is the 700cc model.

Nope, the CTX 1300 is a V4 1300cc engine.

"1261cc"

It is a ctx 700 in that picture link, have never seen one without the heads sticking out the side.

Really? Cool, but as far as I know mine is stock except for Two Bros pipes. If they only got 145, it simply blasts through 145, and I weigh almost 300#!

Speedo mph is different to actual mph.

I've had mine up to 155 but I know I wan't going that fast.

Specially tuned for more low-to-midrange torque, the CTX1300 offers a responsive powerbands that greatly enhances your experience on the bike.

http://powersports.honda.com/2014/ctx1300.aspx


The ST1300 starts at $18K (BMW charges a lot so can we also), most likely the CTX1300 will be about $15K
I'd buy an '06 low mileage concours for $4k before I buy another honda at those prices. the corp executives' 16 yr old kids don't need new porsches.
