HONDA CB1100 (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2010, Honda presented the CB1100, a naked motorcycle powered by a 1,140cc air-cooled engine and intended as a successor to the CB750 model. In 2011, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the CB1100, which was available only in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, while in 2013, the bike was introduced in the European and American markets.

The CB1100 machine was styled as a Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM), with retro looks and modern technology. In 2014, Honda launched the CB1100, which featured a revision that included a sixth gear and a gauge cluster.

Also in 2014, the manufacturer made available the CB1100 Deluxe model, which was an upgraded version of the standard model that featured a six-speed manual transmission, a larger fuel tank, a four-into-one exhaust system, ABS, a modified seat, and other details.

The bike featured 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.

For braking power, it packed 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 that provided strong braking performance.

In the power department, the 2014 Honda CB1100 had its heartbeat set 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.
