I had a CB1300S for 3 years and it is a great bike. Handles surprisingly well. Bike Mag did a test a few years ago with a 24hr race on the TT circuit.....CB1300 vs ZX10. The ZX10 only just won.
Downside to the CB..........can be a bit vibey especially the faired version, only has 5 gears (I was constantly looking for 6th), and the most important point...........NOT the usual top quality Honda finish.
Better that the other muscle bikes.....nearly. Not however as good all-round as a Gen 1.
