HONDA CB1100 (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2013 Honda CB1100 was in its third year of production and mixed originality with a timeless design and character, but also was a muscular retro all-rounder and a natural evolution of the CB750 machine.

The bike didn't feature any significant changes and was capable enough of delivering a thrilling ride with enough power from the air-cooled engine but also offered precise maneuverability with its upright seating position and wide handlebar.

The clean design of the bike, with its wheels neatly integrated with the front brake disc carriers, the digital instrument panel between two analog clocks, the aircraft-style fuel filler cap, the minimalist seat, and Honda badges, resulted in a unique vintage look topped by modern technology.

In the performance department, the 2013 Honda CB1100 had at its core a 1,140cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine fed through a PGM-FI electronically controlled fuel injection system and delivered an output power of 89 hp at 7,500 rpm and 93 Nm (68 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm.

The bike came with a double cradle steel frame that housed the 41 mm telescopic fork on the front with 107 mm wheel travel and twin Showa shock absorbers with spring preload adjustment on the rear.

As for braking purposes, the bike packed two 296 mm floating discs with four-piston Nissin calipers on the front and a 256 mm disc with a single-piston Nissin caliper on the rear.
