Stunning Performance Naked style, breathtaking acceleration, light, responsive handling and invigorating thrills at every twist of its throttle. The new CB1000R packs full-blooded litre-class Super Sports performance into a compact, muscular-looking form that speaks of good times and fast friends, blasting down the avenue in search of excitement in the bright lights. The new CB1000R’s dynamic, futuristic design immediately grabs attention with an unmistakable look of muscular performance.
As cool to look at as it is a blast to ride, its lightweight form shows off its sharply styled bodywork and sculpted mechanical parts to riveting effect. Power comes on strong from a lightweight and compact, fuel-injected 998cm3 inline-four engine derived from the 2007 CBR1000RR Fireblade and specially tuned for breathtaking low-to-midrange torque that pulls robustly from low in its powerband. A lightweight and rigid cast aluminium frame holds together a chassis comprised of top Super Sports class suspension, wheels and brakes, and even a Combined-ABS version is available for those wanting the smoothest, most confidence-inspiring braking control around.
