starting issues

Well spotted Paul, and I can't think of a better commuter-bike for London than a Z13!  ; )

When I tell people I drive in, rather than train / tube, they go 'you wot??'

Hi Richard
i would rather spend an hour on the bus than 20 minutes on the tube system, i use my Z1300 anytime its running because i find if they sit for any length of time you get carb issues luckily i have a cb1300 for when the kwak has one of its all too regular senior moments and decides its going nowhere 

CB1300 - thank you for mentioning it! I remember back in late 90's seeing a Honda 1300 cc prototype picture and than some guys from my bike club went to test drive it when it was offered about the time when it came out, or some time before. It was in Japan so might had been a bit earlier than the rest of the world. It's been years but it always lingered in my memory. I don't know if you've seen a prototype, but it looked much more like a muscle bike and similar to the KZ1300 in a way, so I was disappointed with the design they settled for. A good looking bike nevertheless!

Yep agreed re the tube.

CB13s a nice beastie.

I had a CBR1000 (FJ type) unfaired rat bike a while ago and that motor was bullitproof, Honda build good engines.
