HONDA CB1100R (2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB1100R was a 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 showed 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.

Also, in 2007, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer presented the Honda CB1100R, a motorcycle that has never been manufactured as a series model, as the Japanese company only made it for the first time in 2007 as a prototype.
