In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB1300S Super Bol D'or, a half-faired version of the base CB1300 Super Four model, which featured an additional front half-cowl fitted with a small windscreen and a rectangular-shaped headlight.
In addition, the 2014 Bol D'or model came with Combined ABS (C-ABS), which was first introduced on the previous model, while inside the cowl were two storage compartments and an LCD instrument cluster that offered all the information needed for everyday touring.
Other than that, the bike was unchanged compared with the previous models, with its double-cradle steel tube frame, half fairing, 21-liter fuel tank, generous dual seat, and massive engine that delivered strong mid-range performance.
Equipped from the factory, the bike came with standard features, such as a dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a black-finished steel frame, a wide handlebar, an analog and digital instrument panel, lightweight die-cast aluminum wheels, and a side stand.
In the engine department, the 2014 Honda CB1300S Super Bol D'or had its soul brought to life by a 1,284cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that helped deliver 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.
As for braking performance, 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 offered optimum stopping power.
