A while back in 2009, Honda launched the CB1300 Super Four, a naked motorcycle part of the CB series that packed a mix of modern and old technology underneath its clothes and a powerplant derived from the CB1 machine.
The 2009 CB1300 Super Four model packed the same minor changes received by the 2008 bike, such as an exhaust system, sports air filter, an engine management interventional auxiliary control unit from Dynojet Research, 11 mm more wheel travel on the front suspension, a five mm shorter wheelbase, and a piston on the rear brake caliper instead of two.
In addition, the bike came with standard features, such as a dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a wide handlebar, a digital and analog instrument cluster, die-cast aluminum wheels, and a blacked-out steel frame.
The lightweight double cradle steel tube frame was finished with stylish chrome and shining steel details and housed the power generator of the machine, which was a 1,284cc unit with a PGM-FI electronically controlled fuel injection system that offered mid-range power and torque.
As for the power figures, the 2009 Honda CB1300 Super Four, with its 1,284cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, delivered an output power of 114 hp with a peak at 7,500 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,000 rpm.
As for stopping power, the bike packed two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 256 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that provided strong braking performance.
