In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB1100, a motorcycle that drew its cues from the classic bikes of yore and brought tribute to the retro machines. The bike first appeared on the market in 2011 as a successor to the CB750 bike, powered by a 1,140cc air-cooled engine and styled as a Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM).
Without being a sports bike, the CB1100 was highly capable 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 bike was built around 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.
Also, the bike rolled from the factory on a set of 10-spoke cast aluminum wheels, fitted with 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.
As for power, the 2012 Honda CB1100 had its soul brought to life by a 1,140cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system that helped deliver an output power of 89 hp at 7,500 rpm and 93 Nm (68 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm.
