HONDA CB1000R FOR 2011
The stunning CB1000R packs exhilarating litre-class sports performance into a compact and muscular-looking form that looks fast, even standing still. It delivers outstanding acceleration, light, responsive handling and great riding enjoyment at every twist of its throttle. This is combined with smooth, easy control and nimble handling that’s just as enjoyable along winding roads as it is on city streets.
For 2011 the CB1000R has been refreshed and updated to enhance its image as one of the most exciting and well designed Performance Naked machines on the road. It receives a new thicker aluminium handlebar that gives an improved feel. Treated with a gold alumite surface, it also adds to the bike’s focused looks. A new LED position light updates the distinctive front lighting array, and a new Tricolour version with gold wheels projects a sporty image.
