Considered to be Honda’s first homologation special, the CB1100R is a legend among Honda fans – especially those based in the US, where this bike was never officially sold. The CBR was offered in 1981 (RB), 1982 (RC), and 1983 (RD). As an RC, this bike is one of 1,500 examples.
Based on the CB900F, the CB1100R was developed to allow Honda to compete in endurance racing – they won the ’81 New Zealand Castrol Six Hour. It was big and it was heavy, but it was damn fast. The engine from the CB900 was bored out, bumping displacement up to 1062cc. The new engine produced 115 horsepower at 9,000 rpm. Top speed was 149 miles per hour, making it the fastest bike of its time.
Despite the 518 pound weight, the new one piece frame combined with Honda’s first use of twin-piston calipers and nitrogen-charged piggyback shocks in a production bike made this bike successful on race tracks that utilized fast sweepers over tight hairpins.
Top speed was 149 miles per hour, making it the fastest bike of its time.
This example is VIN: SC082000061. The seller acquired the bike through Iconic; it made its way stateside as an import from South Africa.
The odometer shows 42,558 kilometers (26,444 miles).
Maintenance:
The seller reports that he “rebuilt and cleaned the carbs.”
Modifications:
This CB1100R appears to be completely stock save for an aftermarket windscreen – the seller emphasizes the rarity of the stock exhaust.
Inside of the tank:
It is riding on Bridgestone Battlax and Michelin Pilot Road tires with date codes of 2802 and 3713.
The sale includes one key.
