Honda CB1100 for Europe

After a few years on sale in Australia and Japan, Honda has decided to offer its retro-styled CB1100 naked bike in Europe.

Power comes from a 1,140 cc, fuel-injected four-cylinder engine which, unusually given its capacity, is air-cooled.

The large motor sits within a steel frame, a combination that results in a fairly hefty kerb weight of 248 kg (546 lbs). A low seat height of 775 mm (30.5”) should make it easier for riders to manage the CB1100, though.

Pricing has yet to be announced.

Although top speed is virtually unchanged at 121 mph (195 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time is slashed from 9.9 to 8.7 seconds. To go with the extra performance, the looks have been spruced up too. There are 17” black alloy wheels, twin chrome exhausts and a silver finish at the front for the aerofoil, grille surround and fog light bezels. Paintwork choice comprises Frozen White, Midnight Sky Metallic or Panther Black Metallic. The interior hasn’t been ignored, either.
