Honda CTX1300

The Honda CTX1300 is a cruiser motorcycle with shaft drive and a longitudinally mounted V4 engine. It succeeded the ST1300, also called the Pan-European in Europe, which was discontinued after the 2012 model year. In November 2013, after the ST1300 was dropped, Honda announced the CTX1300, powered by a version of the ST1300's engine modified for better fuel economy and more torque at low rpm, with a maximum torque of 106 N m at 4,500 rpm and a claimed 60.7 kW at 6,000 rpm. Abandoning the Pan-European bias of the ST1300, it reverted to a North American theme with a half-fairing, raked-back handlebar and bagger styling. It was available in standard and Deluxe specification, the latter with traction control, ABS and Bluetooth, and was well received in Australia and the US, with European reviews mixed but positive overall.
