In 2006, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched a new motorcycle called Honda CB1300 Super Bol D'or, which featured a newly designed half-cowl that reduced wind pressure and improved stability at high-speed driving.
The front cowl packed a rectangular multi-reflector headlight and a small tinted windscreen, while inside the cowl were two storage compartments and vivid blue self-illuminating dials that improved readability.
The LCD cluster offered all the information needed for everyday touring, which included an odometer, total trip meter, count-down meter, engine coolant temperature, stopwatch, ambient temperature, and date and time settings.
In the performance department, the 2006 Honda CB1300 Super Bol D'or had its heartbeat set by a 1,284cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by a PGM-FI fuel injection system and delivered an output power of 114 hp with maximum strength at 7,500 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,000 rpm.
For braking performance, the Honda CB1300 Super Bol D'or 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.
As for suspension, it packed a 43 mm telescopic cartridge-style fork on the front and dual shock absorbers with spring preload adjustability on the rear that offered excellent suspension performance
