Honda CB1000R
The new CB1000R immediately grabs attention with its unmistakable look of muscular and sharply styled bodywork. It features a robustly styled single sided Pro-Arm swingarm which supports stylish 17" swept 4 spoke wheels that provide a strong accent on the CB1000R's exciting performance potential. Up front, the CB1000R's compact bikini cowl surrounds a brilliant new three corner shaped multi-reflector headlight with a distinctive LED position lamp integrated into its chin. Magnesium head and ACG covers and natural finish aluminum pivot plates exude a high tech look of purposeful performance.
The new CB1000R's engine is a direct descendant of Honda's race winning CBR1000RR Fireblade. The CB1000R's mill has been tuned for maximised low-to-midrange performance that produces stronger power and sharper acceleration in the lower reaches of its rev range and more full bodied torque that pulls hard at each twist of the throttle. This results in 30% stronger performance that is both breathtaking and smoothly linear in its delivery. Features such as IACV (intake air control valve) keep excessive torque reaction and jerky low speed performance to a minimum, ensuring smooth, enjoyable operation from start to finish.
The new CB1000R features a low-slung system that concentrates most of its weight and mass directly under the engine. This results in optimized mass centralization for quicker, more neutral handling, especially felt when leaning quickly over for tightly executed or side to side turns through a series of tight s bends.
