Overview

Introducing the 2016 Honda CB1100 Concept, a prototype that pays homage to the classic motorcycles of yesteryear while showcasing modern engineering prowess. Positioned as a bridge between nostalgia and innovation, the CB1100 Concept captures the essence of Honda's storied history in motorcycle manufacturing while paving the way for future models. This striking motorcycle, also known as the CB Concept Type II, combines retro aesthetics with advanced technology, making it a tantalizing proposition for enthusiasts who appreciate both form and function. At the heart of the CB1100 Concept lies a robust 1140cc in-line four, four-stroke engine, meticulously designed to deliver a peak power output of 88.51 horsepower at 7,500 RPM. With a torque figure of 91 Nm at 5,000 RPM, this engine offers a thrilling riding experience characterized by strong mid-range power and smooth acceleration. The compression ratio of 9.5:1, combined with Honda's PGM-FI fuel injection system, ensures efficient fuel delivery and optimal combustion. Coupled with a slick 6-speed gearbox and a final drive chain, riders can expect a responsive performance that encourages spirited rides on both city streets and winding backroads. The CB1100 Concept is not just about raw power; it also features a meticulously crafted chassis and suspension system, ensuring exceptional handling and ride comfort. The double steel cradle frame provides stability, while the Ohlins gold fork and dual shocks allow for adjustable spring preload, catering to various riding styles and preferences. With Brembo brakes gracing both the front and rear, stopping power is assured, with 296 mm floating discs up front and a single 256 mm disc at the rear working in harmony to provide precise and reliable braking. The motorcycle's aesthetic appeal is further enhanced by its sleek silver finish, making it a head-turner wherever it goes. **
