I see Honda has finally put a price tag on the 1300. (Too bad its now a few thousand less.) Then I found this forum…looking forward to sharing here. I can't wait to see it in person.

Hello and Welcome to the board!
Glad you can join the "sitting on edge of seat waiting to get our hands on it" gang!


Feel free to view the many links already posted of photos from those who visited the mc shows in their areas and other information links about the CTX1300 (I always try to spell it out since I belong to other boards like ST-Owners.com where the ST1300 is highly valued).

Oh, and it's snow covered here too. Street and all. Though I did clear my driveway, mostly, but expecting freezing rain, ice pellets and more snow tomorrow again.

Welcome to the forum @lotta!
do you have any pictures of your bikes?

Wouldn't we all like it if it was a few thousand less. Welcome to the forum!

Wait, are you upset that the CTX1300 is a few thousand dollars less? Wouldn't we want the bike to be cheaper?

Sorry about all that snow in New York. You guys get bad weather in the winter.

Have you put in your order yet?

NO no no, not "cheaper" but less expensive (lower price) would be nice.
And the few dealers reported on here are offering the deluxe for less than MSRP for the standard. Maybe proportionally less for the standard to spur sales.

If you were the guy to call the shots on pricing the CTX1300, what would you price it like? Just curious to see what price you'll mention

Hey lotta, welcome. Loads of knowledge riding around this site. I want to see who will have the bragging right to say they purchased the bike first...

Yup there's a wealth of info here, it's one of my main resource on the CTX and even on riding in general.

Reasonable but low end pricing on a Deluxe if it were possible based on dealer costs I would really like to see OTD = $14500-$14900. I would expect that would move a lot of stock on this model. But that's just me thinking of what I'd like to see as a dealer and trying to sell many units to get cash flow high. Of course I would expect to cover costs of initial service after break-in for that price too. I don't recall if there are any dealers that do that but it would make lots of sense to me from a customer relations point of view. Hey, I want the rider to whom I sell a bike to keep coming back for more accessories and service going forward. Keep in mind I'm a little bit cheap too though. Cost of units to the dealer may be what keeps a Deluxe over that $15100 price for the lowest price yet mentioned here. And I know Honda is proud of their stuff too (who can blame them?).
