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.
O Honda X4 (CB1300) foi lançado em 1997 como um muscle cruiser de grande cilindrada, construído em torno de um motor de quatro cilindradas em linha de 1.284 cc, voltado principalmente para o mercado doméstico japonês. Ele foi projetado como um sucessor espiritual do lendário CB750, enfatizando o torque baixo e uma estética imponente de cruzeiro pesado, em vez de esportividade absoluta. A produção continuou até 2003, tornando-a uma das favoritas dos entusiastas japoneses de grandes motos por seu estilo musculoso e forte potência de médio alcance.

O que os compradores devem saber
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.

"O muscle cruiser esquecido do Japão que realmente entrega a mercadoria."
A X4 é uma bicicleta que a Honda nunca explicou adequadamente ao mundo — uma moto de 1300 cc em linha em um chassi de cruzeiro soa como um compromisso de sala de reuniões, mas em uma estrada montanhosa faz todo o sentido. Esse torque atinge fortemente a partir de cerca de 3.500 rpm e continua aumentando, e a caixa de câmbio é lisa o suficiente para que você se veja diminuindo apenas pelo prazer mecânico. Com 279 kg, não é leve, e as manobras de estacionamento em baixa velocidade sempre o lembrarão desse fato. A posição de pilotagem é estranhamente agressiva na vertical — nem exatamente de cruzeiro, nem totalmente nua — e, após 300 km, sua região lombar apresentará uma queixa formal.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"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.
