I own a CTX. It looks much better in person . I actually chose it over the 1400 California. The V4 has less power but more torque and just takes off smoother. Plus it was more comfortable for going long miles. Though Japanese it still has Italian quirks like have useless compartments and looking through the mirrors were an afterthought. But even with the quirks it is all function like LED lighting that resemble death rays, good aerodynamics, a bulletproof motor and starts every time with zero worries.
It's worth noting that the Honda CTX1300 has an across the frame V4 with the exhausts facing outwards and the fuel tank believe it or not is actually under the seat. OK I don't find the styling appealing at all but Honda knows how to engineer stuff.
