The Honda CB1100R was an exotic motorcycle manufactured by Honda in limited numbers from 1980 to 1983. The model was a fully-faired sports bike with a single seat based on the Honda CB900F, where the R suffix pointed out that it was a racing model but also a road-legal machine offered to the public.
Also, the motorcycle was produced in sufficient numbers that met the homologation requirements to be classed as a production motorcycle in the markets where was sold. In 1980, the first 110 naked versions were sent to Australia to win the renowned Castrol 6-Hour Race.
In 1981, the CB1100R came out as a winner of the New Zealand Castrol Six Hour Race, ridden by Malcolm Campbell and Mick Cole. Also, the bike was slightly modified with a dual seat to be reclassified as a road bike and enter the 1982 Castrol 6-Hour Race.
In the performance department, the Honda CB1100R had its soul brought to life by a 1,062cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by four Keihin carburetors and delivered an output power of 120 hp at 9,000 rpm and 98 Nm (72 lb-ft) of torque at 7,500 rpm.
For suspension, the bike packed an adjustable telescopic fork on the front and two adjustable shock absorbers on the rear, while the stopping power was handled by two 296 mm discs with dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 296 mm disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
