Honda CB1000R
Encyclopedia
The Honda CB1000R is a naked bike manufactured by the Honda Motor Company. It was unveiled at the Milan Bike Show on 6 November, 2007 as a replacement for the Honda CB900F
Hornet (known in the US as the Honda 919).
Styling cues are borrowed from the 2007 CB600F
Hornet. The engine is a modified version of the 2007 CBR1000RR
engine and produces around 125 bhp. The front suspension uses a 43 mm (1.7 in) inverted HMAS cartridge-type telescopic fork
with stepless preload with compression/rebound adjustments and 120 mm (4.7 in) cushion stroke. The rear is a monoshock with gas-charged HMAS damper featuring 10-step preload and stepless rebound damping adjustment and 128 mm (5 in) axle travel.
The CB1000R continues Honda's goal for mass centralization, a recent Honda trait where they attempt to place as much weight as low and centralized on the bike as possible.
