2009 Honda CB1000R

Introduction

The CB1000R charges to the head of the Performance Naked class with an unbeatable combination of sophisticated styling, eye-watering performance, agile handling and endless thrills. Its compact and muscular form carries the punch of a full-blooded litre-class Super Sportsbike. Its lightweight and compact RR-derived inline-four engine delivers electrifying jolts of power focused on exhilarating low-to-midrange torque. The suspension, wheels and lightweight disc brakes also come from the Super Sports class, giving nimble handling and quick, easy control. A Combined-ABS version is also available, for optimised braking control in all riding situations. The suspension is fully adjustable for a tailor-made ride and the seat is slim, smooth and always enticing. All this is packaged in a fearsome mass-forward, crouching feline form, adorned with futuristic-looking high-tech details and a gleaming Honda quality finish.

Whether you’re planning on prowling the streets of the asphalt jungle or tearing up the hills and corners beyond the city limits, the CB1000R dares you to explore the best Naked riding experience of your life. Climb aboard or be left behind.
