Honda Release CB1000R

Honda CB1000R

Look at the new CB1000R and you see a motorcycle with an enduring correctness of design. This is a motorcycle with roots that stretch back to the seminal four-cylinder classic CB750K0 introduced by Honda in 1969, a heritage that will resonate with a remarkably wide span of today’s most sophisticated and demanding riders.



essentials-only styling, a fuel-injected four-cylinder 998cc powerplant tuned for loads of right-now power, single-sided swingarm with single-shock rear suspension, plus a wealth of new features that give it its own unique identity. Whether you choose to call it a “naked bike,” or a Superbike in Clark Kent clothing, the 2011 CB1000R is the most modern iteration of a long line of much-respected high-performance unfaired four-cylinder bikes—the classic hot-rod Hondas.





The 2010 CB1000R charges to the head of the Performance Naked class with an unbeatable combination of sophisticated urban styling, eye-watering performance, agile handling and endless thrills. Its compact and muscular form carries the punch of full-blooded litre-class Super Sports. Its lightweight and compact RR-derived inline-four engine delivers electrifying jolts of power focused on exhilarating low-to-midrange torque. The suspension, wheels and lightweight disc brakes also come from the Super Sports class, giving nimble handling and quick, easy control.



After the new look CBR1000RR, Honda also has new colours for the CB1000R 2010 range. The popular CB1000R sports-road model gets some sexy new colours, including twin tone Pearl Siena Red/Pearl Nightstar Black and a shade of beige, too. Smooth engine mapping and specs are pretty much the same as before, with the 99Nm of torque at 7,750 rpm and maximum power of 92kW at 10,000 rpm.
