HONDA CB1000 (1992-1993) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1993, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB1000, a standard motorcycle part of the CB series, a series known for its reliable machines with great performance.

In its second year of production, the CB1000 didn't come with any changes and featured the same package as its predecessor, such as the de-tuned version of the engine used on the CBR1000F and the classic naked look that harked back to the CB1100 and CB900 models.

In Japan, the CB1000 was also known as the CB1000 Big one due to its weight of 236 kg (520 lbs), its 80 cm (31.5 inches) seat height, and its 153 cm (60,6 inches) wheelbase that really made it a massive machine.

In addition, the bike came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as die-cast aluminum wheels, a round headlight with a chromed ring, an analog instrument cluster, a dual seat, a four-into-two dual-sided exhaust system, and a side stand.

For suspension, the bike packed a 43 mm telescopic fork on the front and dual adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, while the braking performance was achieved by two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 276 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

In the performance department, the 1993 Honda CB1000 took its muscles from a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 98 hp at 8,500 rpm and 84 Nm (62 lb-ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm.
