Like your steaks rare? Your clothes simple and functional? Think handsome is as handsome does? We’re with you—and the proof is right here: the Honda® CB1000R. Nothing gets between you and the pure enjoyment that comes from riding a bike like this. That’s because the CB1000R is all about business: the clean, essentials-only layout perfectly frames a fuel-injected four-cylinder 998cc powerplant that’s overflowing with loads of right-now power.

The unique chassis incorporates a single-sided swingarm with a high performance single-shock rear suspension that helps make this machine an exclusive choice in today’s market. You can call it a ***** bike, a street fighter or a race-bred machine in civilian clothes, but the CB1000R serves as an all-around high-performance machine that’s ready to take you where you want to go.

• Superbike Heart

The CB1000R is built around a superbike-strong 998cc DOHC inline four engine that’s perfect for street riding, with plenty of torque and power on tap. Since it’s a four cylinder, it’s plenty smooth for longer rides too.

• Great Bones

The CB1000R offers exceptional handling, thanks to a Gravity Die Cast mono-backbone aluminum chassis that’s light and strong. A fully adjustable inverted fork and adjustable Pro Link rear suspension with a single-sided swing arm further refine the handling package.

• When You’ve Got it, Flaunt It.

It’d be a shame to cover up an engine like the CB1000R’s, so we’ve put it out front and center so you and everyone else can enjoy it. Then our designers gave the CB1000R just enough styling touches (side radiator shrouds, fork-mounted cowl fairing, cast aluminum four-spoke wheels) to really set it apart. Check it out—everyone else will.
