Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits an experienced rider comfortable with a big, heavy naked machine, though its smooth manners make it forgiving once underway.
PurposeIt's built as a classic big-bore naked all-rounder, blending strong in-line four performance with relaxed, everyday usability.
Rider FitAt 268 kg dry with a 780 mm seat height, it demands decent strength and confidence at low speeds and when maneuvering off the throttle.
CharacterThe CB1300 has a broad, torquey powerband and a smooth, refined character that rewards a relaxed, confident riding style over aggressive track-focused inputs.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for new riders, off-road enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a light, flickable machine for tight city or trail use.

2012 Honda CB1300 Super Four Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 780mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2012 Honda CB1300 Super Four, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
