HONDA CB1000R (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB1000R was a naked motorcycle part of the CB series manufactured by Honda from 2008 to 2016 and then again from 2018. The bike was unveiled in 2007 at the EICMA Motorcycle Show as a replacement for the CB900F Hornet.

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.

In 2014, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB1000R, a sporty streetfighter derived from the CBR family that was all about street performance, with the engine mounted in a special-developed chassis that offered great rigidity and sharp handling.

The bike came with standard features, such as a digital instrument panel, adjustable brake and clutch levers, a fully adjustable suspension, a radial braking system, and a lowboy four-into-one exhaust system that matched the aggressive single-sided swingarm.

The lightweight and rigid chassis was fitted with a 43 mm inverted HMAS telescopic fork with stepless preload, compression, and rebound adjustability on the front and a gas-charged monoshock absorber with 10-step preload and rebound damping adjustment on the rear.

In the performance department, the 2014 Honda CB1000R had at its core a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with an electronic fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 123 hp at 10,000 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque at 8,000 rpm.
