Honda X4 1300
The Honda X4 1300 has a top speed of ~210 km/h (estimated; electronically or mechanically limited in some markets), produces ~100 hp and weighs 267 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
Honda X4 (CB1300) została zaprezentowana w 1997 roku jako krążownik o dużej pojemności, zbudowany wokół silników inline-four o pojemności 1284 cm3, skierowany głównie na japoński rynek krajowy. Został zaprojektowany jako duchowy następca legendarnego CB750, podkreślając niski moment obrotowy i dominującą, ciężką estetykę krążownika, a nie bezpośredni sportowy charakter. Produkcja trwała do 2003 roku, co czyni go kultowym ulubieńcem japońskich entuzjastów dużych rowerów ze względu na muskularną stylizację i silną moc średniej klasy.

Co kupujący powinni wiedzieć
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The X4's 1284cc inline-four engine is closely related to the CBX1300's unit and is known for exceptional longevity, often exceeding 100,000km with basic maintenance. Regular valve clearance checks are the most important service item to keep it running flawlessly.
Watch for Cam Chain Noise
Higher-mileage X4s can develop cam chain tensioner wear, producing a rattling noise on cold starts — inspect carefully before buying. This is a known weak point and repair costs can be significant if ignored for too long.
Strong Cult Resale Value
The X4 1300 was only sold in Japan (1997–2003), making it a rare collector's cruiser with a dedicated following that helps retain resale value. Low-mileage, well-maintained examples continue to hold their price surprisingly well on the used market.

"Zapomniany japoński krążownik mięśniowy, który faktycznie dostarcza towary."
X4 to rower, którego Honda nigdy nie została właściwie wyjaśniona światu — inline-four o pojemności 1300 cm3 w podwoziu krążownika brzmi jak kompromis w sali konferencyjnej, ale na rozległej górskiej drodze ma kompletny, satysfakcjonujący sens. Ten moment obrotowy uderza mocno z około 3500 obr/min i po prostu się buduje, a skrzynia biegów jest na tyle gładka, że zmieniasz się tylko dla mechanicznej przyjemności. Przy wadze 279 kg nie jest lekki, a manewry parkingowe o niskiej prędkości będą o tym przypominać za każdym razem. Pozycja jazdy jest dziwnie prosto agresywna - nie całkiem krążownik, nie całkiem naga - a po 300 km dolna część pleców złoży formalną skargę.

Recenzja używanego kupującego
"A characterful bruiser for patient, resourceful riders who do their homework."
$4,500-$8,500 usedThe X4 1300 is Honda's forgotten bruiser — a bike that never quite found its audience but deserves serious consideration used. That 1284cc inline-four is basically a CB1300 engine stuffed into a cruiser-ish frame, and the result is something genuinely unique: massive torque down low, a throttle response that feels almost lazy until you crack it open properly, and a mechanical soundtrack that's deeply satisfying without being antisocial. It's heavy, make no mistake, but that weight disappears once you're moving. On the used market, condition varies wildly. These were bought by older Japanese-domestic-market enthusiasts who either babied them or hammered them. Check the cam chain tensioner carefully, inspect the final drive for play, and look hard at the cooling system hoses — they're known to crack with age. Parts availability is the real headache; this was never officially sold in most Western markets, so you're relying on Japanese imports and specialist suppliers. Budget extra for that inevitably.
