2013 Honda CB1300 Super Touring Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's touring motorcycle platform, the 2013 Honda CB1300 Super Touring utilizes a 1284 cc (78.4 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 99.2 HP (72.4 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 114 Nm (84.1 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 77.3 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the CB1300 Super Touring measures 281 kg (619 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.35 HP/kg (2.83 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,510 mm (59.4 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 21-liter (5.5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 3.92 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 536 km (333 miles) between fill-ups.
