Pro's and Con's of the CTS 1300

[#2944]

Test drove one yesterday, kindof liked it, thinking about a lighter bike.  After riding my interstate today I'd really miss the ol'gal.

CTX 1300 weighs 724lbs.

[Pappy!]

Sure is a beautiful bike as well. Apparently no lightweight!

I wish they had left some of the ST's power in that motor.    The numbers aren't impressive, especially at that weight. I've not ridden one , but it felt comfortable to sit on. Those bags are kind of small too.

CTX1300 I presume you are talking about.

Saw a Pewter colored CTX1300, yesterday at the Exxon near Cherohala Skyway.

NICE looking machine, the guy traded in his Goldwing for it.

It is bigger than you think, looks awesome.

Agree. Sadly, Honda seems to have walked away from muscle bikes.

I like how they look and how it feels sitting on one, but it's not that much lighter than an F6B with the flat 6 power we love.

Go sit on a Ducati Diavel. 162hp, 1198cc and a tad over 500lbs.

Styled like the Valkyrie 1800 should have been.

I think it is the best looking bike Honda has this year. Too bad they de-powered it.
