Overview

Introducing the 2017 Honda CTX1300, a striking embodiment of the custom-cruiser category that seamlessly blends power, comfort, and cutting-edge technology. With a price tag starting at US$ 15,999, this motorcycle positions itself as an attractive option for riders seeking a versatile touring experience without sacrificing style. Honda has crafted the CTX1300 for those who appreciate a relaxed riding posture and a distinctive aesthetic, making it a standout in a market filled with conventional cruisers. At the heart of the CTX1300 lies a robust 1261cc V4 engine, delivering an impressive 83.14 horsepower at 6000 RPM and a torque of 106 Nm at 4500 RPM. This powerful engine provides smooth acceleration and a top speed of 121.2 mph, ensuring that riders can enjoy both city cruising and highway adventures with confidence. The bike’s 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive contribute to a remarkably smooth ride, while the liquid cooling system helps maintain optimal performance even during long journeys. The distinctive bore and stroke dimensions (78.0 x 66.0 mm) also enhance the engine’s responsiveness, making sure every twist of the throttle is met with exhilarating power. Beyond its engine, the CTX1300 boasts a plethora of features that enhance both functionality and comfort. The 43mm inverted front fork and aluminum swingarm with dual shocks provide a balanced ride, absorbing bumps effortlessly as you traverse various terrains. The bike’s weight of 745.2 pounds is complemented by a low seat height of 28.9 inches, making it accessible for a wide range of riders. Additionally, the CTX1300 comes equipped with advanced technology such as a computer-controlled ignition system with 3-D mapping, ensuring optimal performance under varying conditions. To top it off, a generous 19.5-liter fuel tank grants riders the freedom to embark on longer journeys without frequent stops for fuel. **

Pros

  • Powerful V4 Engine: The 1261cc engine provides impressive power and torque for confident acceleration and highway cruising.
  • Comfortable Riding Position: The low seat height and relaxed ergonomics cater to both short rides and long-distance touring.
  • Advanced Technology: Features like PGM-FI fuel injection and computer-controlled ignition enhance performance and efficiency.

Cons

  • Weight: At 745.2 pounds, the CTX1300 can feel heavy, especially for newer riders or those maneuvering at low speeds.
  • Limited Customization Options: While stylish, the custom-cruiser design may not appeal to those looking for a more traditional motorcycle aesthetic.
  • Price Point: Compared to competitors in the cruiser market, the CTX1300 may be seen as a premium offering, which could deter budget-conscious buyers.
