HONDA CB1000R (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB1000R was a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range manufactured from 2008 to 2016 and resumed in 2018. The bike was unveiled in 2007 at the EICMA Motorcycle Show as a replacement for the US market's CB900F Hornet model.

The bike featured the looks borrowed from the 2007 Honda CB600F Hornet and a detuned version of the engine used by the Honda CBR1000RR, which resulted in a fast, aggressive, and maneuverable machine that brought superbike performance to the street level.

The lightweight but strong aluminum chassis housed a 43 mm inverted HMAS cartridge-type telescopic fork with stepless preload, compression, and rebound adjustability on the front and a gas-charged monoshock on the rear that offered optimum suspension performance.

In the braking department, the bike packed two 310 mm discs with three-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 256 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel that provided strong braking performance.

As for power, the 2015 Honda CB1000R had its soul brought to life by a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with an electronic fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 123 hp with maximum strength at 10,000 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,000 rpm.

In addition, the model came with standard features, such as cast aluminum wheels, a four-into-two exhaust system, a small nose fairing, a dual seat, a digital instrument cluster, and rear-mounted footpegs.
