1142cc Air-Cooled Engine

• With an engine this size, you get power everywhere—enough to go on a spirited street ride, an hour-long cruise or carry a passenger with ease.

41mm Front Fork

• A traditional design, the 41mm front fork features spring preload adjustability and is plenty strong for sporty rides—along with the wide bar, it gives the CB1100 a light feel around town.

Aluminum Swingarm

• Combined with the CB1100’s steel-tube full-cradle twin-loop frame, the stout aluminum swingarm is part of the CB1100’s excellent handling package.

Comfortable Riding Position

• Honda’s classic inline-fours were very comfortable, and it’s the same for the new CB1100. Ride it for 10 minutes or two hours and you’ll see that it’s one of the easiest-to-live-with machines in any class. For 2014, the Deluxe model adds a longer, stitched-look saddle.

Four-Into-One Exhaust

• The CB1100’s four-into-one pipe gives this bike a crisp sound, and the chrome finish is a great highlight, too.

Polished Aluminum Engine Covers

• The polished aluminum accents on the CB1100 are more expensive, but they are an example of the quality, design and detail that make the CB1100 a uniquely premium motorcycle.

Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)

• Improved cold-weather startups, no-drama high-altitude riding and no choke are just three benefits of PGM-FI.

Timeless Instrumentation

• The chrome-rimmed speedometer and tachometer are both analog and easy to read. What could be better than that? The new CB1100 also offers a digital clock, odometer and an updated trip computer for 2014.

Triple Disc Brakes/Optional ABS

• Nothing retro here: the CB1100’s huge twin front discs and single rear disc are drilled for lighter weight and less heat retention, and offer smooth, predictable, powerful stopping capability. The Deluxe model offers available ABS.

Twin-Shock Rear Suspension

• Easy to adjust and equipped with preload adjustability, the CB1100’s rear suspension proves that the traditional design, done right, can still provide excellent handling characteristics.
