Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 2012, 2013
In 2013, Honda launched the CB1000R, a motorcycle that borrowed styling cues from the 2007 CB600F Hornet and the engine from the CBR1000RR in a detuned version, which resulted in a fast, aggressive, and maneuverable machine that brought superbike performance to the street level.
Some key features of the 2013 model included the Cool Pearl White and Matt White color schemes, a thick aluminum handlebar that enhanced its look and feel, a 998cc engine tuned for low-mid performance, attractive 17-inch wheels with a four-spoke design, and an advanced gravity die-cast aluminum mono-backbone frame that offered agile and sporty handling.
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 adjustable 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 2013 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.
