HONDA CB1000 (1994-1995) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB1000 was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range manufactured from 1992 to 1996, with an engine derived from the CBR1000F. Also, the bike was sold in the American market from 1994 to 1995.

In 1995, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB100, a standard retro-looking machine in its fourth year of production that didn't receive any changes whatsoever and came in the same packages as its predecessors.

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.

The 1995 CB1000 was fitted with standard features that included a round headlight with a chromed ring, die-cast aluminum wheels, 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.

As for the power figures, the 1995 Honda CB1000 had at its core a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine fitted with four Keihin carburetors and delivered an output power of 98 hp at 8,500 rpm and 84 Nm (62 lb-ft) of torque at 6,000 rpm.
