The Honda CB1100 was a naked bike powered by a 1,140cc air-cooled engine, first introduced by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer in 2010 as a successor to the original CB750. At first, the bike was available in Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, while in 2013, Honda made it available for the European and United States markets.
In 2011, Honda released their first CB1100 model, which came as a treat just for the Japanese, Australian, and New Zealand markets, with a classic look and a modern package underneath its clothes, but also styled as a Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM).
The bike featured a clean design, with the wheels neatly integrated with the front brake disc carriers, the digital instrument panel between two analog clocks, the aircraft-style fuel filler cap, the minimalist seat, and the Honda badge, resulting in a unique vintage look topped by modern technology.
In the performance department, the 2011 Honda CB1100 took its muscles from a 1,140cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine fed through a PGM-FI electronically controlled fuel injection system and delivered an output power of 89 hp at 7,500 rpm and 93 Nm (68 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm.
As for braking power, the bike packed two 296 mm floating discs with Nissin four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 256 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston Nissin caliper on the rear wheel that offered optimum braking performance.
