2013 Honda CB1100 Motorcycle Photos

Mixing naked and classic Honda style with thoroughly modern and engaging performance, the exquisitely built four-cylinder CB1100 has a presence, and personality, all of its own - The Honda CB1100 mixes originality with a timeless sense of design, and substantial character. It represents a finely balanced blend of performance, with broad capacity, ability and adaptability.

 

2013 Honda CB1100 Review

Unmistakably Honda, the CB1100's clean lines elegantly echo the past. The large round headlight, scalloped fuel tank (proudly detailed with the Honda Wing) and silver painted sidepanels add style and substance, while familiar analog dials, slim seat, side-swept 4-2-1 exhaust pipe and chromed front and rear mudguards provide the finishing touches, gently stirring memories of how motorcycles used to look and, as importantly, feel.

Perhaps it's what you don't see that matters more with the CB1100; this is the motorcycle at its most elemental. A steel double cradle frame houses the engine, with 41mm conventional telescopic forks and twin rear shocks providing compliant and finely tuned suspension. The CB1100's riding position is upright and relaxed, a perfect platform from which to watch the world slide by.

From the outset of the project, the CB1100's development engineers decided to use the word 'design' rather than 'styling' for their new bike. Utilising the characteristics of many materials - metal, plastic, leather and rubber - they created individual parts that are both beautiful and functional, and bought them together to stunning effect.

Honda, as a company, looks to the future; yet always with one eye on, and great respect, for the past. To that end, the Honda CB1100 mixes originality with a timeless sense of design, and substantial character. It represents a finely balanced blend of performance, with broad capacity, ability and adaptability.

But it also has something else, almost an intangible - a small part of the soul of a true original: the Honda CB750 Four.

The CB750 Four has cast a long and influential shadow over motorcycling since its debut in 1969. Soichiro Honda, ever the engineer, leading an engineering company, wanted to prove that there was more to the two-wheeled formula than small and medium capacity twin-cylinder motorcycles, and did just that with the ground-breaking 749cc, 67bhp air-cooled, SOHC four-cylinder four-stroke power unit.

A competent chassis - with another first, a single disc brake up front - provided handling and stopping power to match the engine, and the CB750 Four was an instant success. The mass-production superbike had been born, the blueprint drawn for the future.

Motorcycling has changed a great deal over the last 5 decades since the very first CB - the Benly CB92 - was introduced. Motorcyclists themselves have changed too: while many still aspire to the ultimate performance available, just as many today perhaps have other reasons to own a motorcycle.

Some are looking back, at the bike they wanted when they were young but simply couldn't afford. Others want something that performs like a new machine, but with a certain, classic look that lends retro-heritage to a contemporary lifestyle.

And some riders just want an exquisitely engineered motorcycle that blends real-world usability with an honest sense of history. The common factor is fun.

Honda believes motorcycles are very personal things, much more than mere transport. And none more so than the CB1100, as the following insight from the man that created it, shows.

Bike of the New Century.

Back in 1969, Honda’s legendary CB750K0 changed the world of motorcycling forever. Powerful, technologically advanced, flawlessly built, it instantly redefined what a motorcycle could be.

And you can say the same about the new CB1100. Same engine architecture, except now it displaces a full 1140cc and offers fuel injection, and much more. Same, timeless style, but updated with contemporary accents. It’s a bike a whole new generation of riders is going to appreciate.

Transverse-Four Engine

Smooth, powerful, compact, and free-revving, Honda’s inline fours set the standard in the class. The new CB1100’s engine displaces 1140cc and features air cooling for a timeless look—why hide it under a fairing?

Steel Chassis

There’s something about a good, twin-loop full-cradle steel chassis in basic black that not only looks great, but offers plenty of modern chassis geometry too. You’ll find the new CB1100 handles as well as it looks.

Brake Time

The CB1100 features front and rear disc brakes, and the thoroughly modern option of Honda’s Combined Anti-lock Brake System. That makes for powerful, sure stops. Because you never know what the open road is going to throw at you.

Mr Mitsuyoshi Kohama, Chief Designer, CB1100

"It just had to be an air-cooled engine…"
Instant acceleration has its appeal, as does modern styling that conveys the swiftness of the bike. But there's a lot more to the path of motorcycle evolution. I found myself thinking along these lines for the first time when I returned to Japan, after several years in Europe. It was also at this time that I grabbed a pencil and quickly started sketching.

Tyres. Engine. Frame. Tank. Seat. I thought about how to craft all the necessary elements beautifully and combine them in a perfect whole. I wanted to create a beautiful motorcycle with artisan-level handiwork that's also approachable and easy to ride.

"Why are you giving that new engine air-cooling when you know its performance won't be as good? You had better have a pretty convincing explanation!"

That's the kind of thing people said when we began the development process. And I could understand that thinking. Going with an air-cooled engine was bound to seem 'retro' to people at Honda, which had long favored liquid-cooled systems in the pursuit of maximum performance.

When asked to explain my choice, I could only say: "My only reason is that a lot of customers like air-cooled engines." I like the metallic sound the engine makes as it cools… A motorcycle's engine should have oil in it, not water… Just looking at the cooling fins inspires me…

There is something about an air-cooled engine - a feeling you simply can't get from the liquid-cooled engine in a high-performance bike. To me, a bike rider and a bike fan, a future without air-cooled engines just didn't seem right. And I was certain I wasn't the only one who felt this way!

Based on my sketch, this 'bike that defies logic and just demands to be ridden' became a reality. We displayed the CB Four concept model at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1999, and I was extremely thankful for the enthusiastic response it received there. In 2007, aiming to create a bike that fulfilled fans' vision even more fully, we displayed a new concept model at the Tokyo Motor Show, the CB1100F. Eventually, this concept model became the production model known as the CB1100.

2013 Honda CB1100 Key Features

The CB1100: an exquisitely engineered mix of classic and naked styling that offers thoroughly modern and engaging performance with a timeless design. The CB1100 is powered by an air-cooled, in-line four cylinder engine and now makes its long-awaited European debut after quickly gaining a loyal fan base in both Japan and Australia.

Engine

Centrepiece of the CB1100 is its handsome DOHC engine. Air (via 2mm fins) and oil-cooled (via a 335mm 9-tier, front-mounted oil cooler), the finning is the finest found on any bike within the Honda range, and new production methods had to be found for its manufacture. It revs to 8,500rpm and features a compression ratio of 9.5:1. Maximum power output is 66Kw, with a peak torque figure of 93Nm @ 5,000rpm.

Importantly, however outright horsepower figures on Dynograph paper was not the goal - if the engine proved fun to use, then it would be deemed a success. Smooth, instantly accessible power and torque is what the CB1100's motor's all about, and plenty of it, anywhere in the rev range. No frantic thrashing to the redline; just dial in the throttle, and go. Four-stroke, four-cylinder motive thrust at its creamy, effortless best.

Extremely efficient PGM-FI fuel injection, utilising one 36mm throttle body, gives excellent fuel consumption of 25.1km/l (70.9mpg) @ WMTC.

Bore and stroke is set at 73.5mm x 67.2mm. Drive for the twin camshafts is via central chain, and the valve included angle is 26.5° inlet and exhaust. Inlet valve diameter is 27mm, with a 2.5mm stem; exhaust 24mm with 2.5mm stem. A single, secondary balancer shaft ensures smooth running and drive is transmitted via wet clutch and five-speed gearbox. Final drive is by 530 chain.

Chassis

It's sporty, without being a sportsbike. It can tour, without being a touring bike. The CB1100's capacities, thanks to its strong engine and well-balanced chassis, are broad and multi-faceted; it's a bike to be ridden and enjoyed in a variety of situations.

The CB1100's classic, tubular steel double cradle frame grips the engine with four rigid and two rubber mounts; the swingarm is constructed from box-section steel. 41mm conventional telescopic forks are spring preload adjustable, as are the pair of Showa rear shocks. Painted silver, cast aluminium 18-inch five-spoke wheels mount 110/80-18 and 140/70-18 tyres and the standard Combined ABS brakes feature twin, 296mm floating discs up front, with four-piston Nissin calipers, and 256mm disc and single-piston caliper at the rear.

Overall dimensions are 2195mm (length) x 835mm (width) x 1130mm (height). Wheelbase is 1490mm, ground clearance 125mm and the seat height is reasonably low at 795mm, making the CB1100 very manageable.

Rake and trail is set at 27°/114mm. Kerb weight is 248kg; Fuel capacity is 14.6L with a 3.5L reserve.

The circular analog speedo and rev counter evoke memories of classic Hondas of old, and are easy to read. Equipment also includes a fuel gauge, clock, and a centrestand, passenger grabrail are fitted as standard equipment.

The CB1100 will be available in three different colours:

Pearl Milky White/Eternal Silver sidepanels
Glory Red/Eternal Silver sidepanels
Graphite Black/Graphite Black sidepanels.

Accessories

A comprehensive range of accessories are available including:

Heated grips

2013 Honda CB1100 Features and Benefits

Classic Instrumentation

Chrome-rimmed speedometer and tachometer both analog and easy-to-read. What could be better than that? The new CB1100 also offers a digital clock, odometer and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.

41mm Front Fork

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

Disc Brakes

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.

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 are an example of the quality, design, and detail that make the CB1100 a uniquely premium motorcycle.

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.

PGM-FI Fuel Injection

Improved cold-weather startups, no-drama high-altitude riding and no choke are just three benefits of fuel injection.

Comfortable Riding Position

One of the reasons so many riders like Honda's classic fours was because they were comfortable. Same for the new CB1100. Ride it for ten minutes or two hours and you'll see that it's one of the easiest-to-live-with machines in any class.

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.

Twin-Shock Rear Suspension

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

Cast Wheels

Light and easy to keep clean, the CB1100 wheels contribute to the bike's performance and handling, while acknowledging the timeless look of Honda's classic machines.

Available Combined Anti-Lock Braking (C-ABS)

Light, Narrow, Low.

Because it’s a single-cylinder machine, the CB1100 is narrow, and with its low 30.5-inch seat height and light 359-pound curb weight, putting your feet down in parking lots or at stoplights can be a lot easier.

The Power of One.

The CB1100 uses a single-cylinder engine with fuel injection, double-overhead cams and a counterbalancer. Sure that’s tech talk, but the architecture offers some very real advantages. Maybe the most important is power delivery: a single offers the kind of torque and midrange power that’s well suited for all levels of riders.

Stop With Confidence.

Analog/Digital Instrumentation - The CB1100's digital gauges with analog tachometer provides vital riding information in a styled, hi-tech instrumentation package.

Layered Style Fairing - Take a close look at the CB1100's unique bodywork, which is designed for style and functionality. It routes airflow for both engine cooling and rider comfort, while creating a unique sportbike style.

Fuel Injection - Fuel injection means the new CB1100 starts right up, even in cold weather. Compared to a carbureted bike, it also helps reduce emissions and enhance performance and fuel economy.

Single-Cylinder Engine - A single is the perfect choice for a bike like the CB1100. It's light, simple, returns excellent fuel economy, and features a broad powerband with plenty of low-revving torque–just what you want in a first motorcycle.

Counterbalance Shaft - Because it features a counterbalancer, the CB1100 engine is a smooth runner. You get the narrow overall width and power advantages of a single along with the smoothness of a multi-cylinder bike.

Pro-Link® Rear Suspension - The CB1100 uses a single-shock pre-load adjustable rear suspension that not only gives you a smooth ride, but helps enhance handling as well, just as on some of our larger sport models.

Low Seat Height - A low 30.5" seat height does more than help make sure the CB1100 fits a wide range of riders. It makes it easier to put your feet down at stoplights and in parking lots–a big confidence builder.

Passenger Ready - A separate passenger seat, integrated grab rail, and standard passenger footpegs mean you can take a friend along when you go riding–another example of the CB1100's versatility.

Underseat Storage - Removing the rear passenger seat provides a lockable area to throw a map, gloves, or a spare set of sunglasses.

Disc Brakes - The new CB1100 features front and rear hydraulic discs for excellent stopping power and brake feel. The single front disc helps keep things simple and lowers unsprung weight, too.

Additional Features

- Transferable one-year limited warranty; extended coverage available with a Honda Protection Plan.

Honda Genuine Accessories

- Passenger Seat Cowl (Black), Carbon Fiber Tank Pad, Carbon Fiber Fuel Lid Cover, Outdoor Cover

Honda Assurance

Honda Genuine Accessories are developed alongside the model. They are all subject to Honda's rigorous testing procedures and are offered with a two-year Honda warranty.

The 2013 Yamaha WR250R offers the best of both worlds, a light and nimble aluminum frame, a powerful liquid cooled engine with titanium valves, and a long travel suspension for off-road adventures and all the equipment to make your on road travels just as much fun. Add in high end components and you have one of the most advanced 250cc dual purpose bikes on the market.

2013 Yamaha WR250R Key Features

- Fuel Consumption ± 29kpl/83mpg(Imp) / 73mpg (US)
- 250cc, fuel injected engine
- Lightweight aluminum frame & swingarm
- Directly descended from our YZ motocrossers and WR off-road machines, the WR250R is here to make Yamaha’s off-road prowess street accessible.
- Not exactly an enduro model and not a streetbike either, the WR250R is for riders who ride off-road more than on.

2013 Yamaha WR250R Features and Benefits

• Potent, liquid-cooled, 250cc, DOHC, 4-valve, 4-stroke powerplant with super light titanium intake valves and electronic fuel injection.
• Super convenient electric starting means fast, sure starts.
• Hassle free automatic decompression system ensures fast starting and reduces battery power requirements.
• Lightweight magnesium cylinder head cover helps reduce weight.
• Double overhead cam, 4-valve combustion chamber features a compact "pent-roof" design for maximum breathing efficiency.
• Downdraft -type straight design intake port provides the most efficient intake flow for maximum engine performance.
• Intake side, lightweight titanium valves and load-reduced springs decrease weight by more than 40% (Vs steel valves). Titanium valves reduce reciprocating mass for faster-revving, plus reduced frictional losses for smoother-hitting power delivery across the rev range. Intake valves are 30mm in diameter, while the steel exhaust valves are 24.5mm in diameter.
•Steep valve angles, 11.5 degrees on the intake side and 12.5 degrees on the exhaust produce a more compact combustion chamber.
• Dual electrode NGK CR9EK spark plug is located in the centre of the combustion chamber for fast, controlled combustion and great throttle response.
• Ceramic composite plated cylinder provides excellent heat dissipation for consistent power delivery, reduced friction for increased power and reduced weight since there is no heavy iron sleeve or liner.
• Special cylinder design features cutaways that allow the air "trapped" under the piston to enter a side chamber (or cutaway) to reduce horsepower-robbing "pumping losses."
• Special design crankcases also utilize cutaways to reduce "pumping losses." The crankcase cutaways match the cutaways in the cylinder to reduce 'pumping losses.
• The crankcases feature a "tri-axis" design for the crankshaft, main and drive axles. This tri-axis design keeps the crankcases more compact while also centralizing mass for better handling. All of the shafts are positioned low in the cases to maintain a low centre of gravity for great handling and maneuverability.
• Lightweight, high strength, short-skirt, forged aluminum piston provides great durability and its lightweight design means fast engine response and reduced mechanical vibration.
• Lightweight roller bearing style crankshaft with optimized mass delivers excellent response and strong acceleration.
• Engine counter balancer reduces vibration for improved rider comfort and reduced rider fatigue. This bike can cruise at highway speeds comfortably.
• Special design high performance camshafts (intake & exhaust) provide outstanding class leading power. The cams feature a WPC (Wonder Process Craft) treatment that increases surface hardness for great durability and reduced sliding resistance.
• Wet sump lubrication system is used. This system reduces weight and the number of moving parts versus a dry sump system.
• Piston oil cooler utilizes a pinpoint nozzle that directs oil to the desired portion of the cylinder and underside of the piston, which reduces piston, cylinder and rod temperatures for great durability.
• Oil volume in engine has been optimized to reduce weight and oil "drag" related power losses.
• Easy access paper-type oil filter is used.
• Compact design hydraulic automatic cam chain tensioner reduces maintenance and mechanical engine noise.
• 38mm, Mikuni electronic throttle body fuel injection system is used. This system is a return-less FI system with TPS (throttle position sensor). This system provides excellent throttle response, great fuel economy, reduced emissions and a choke-free design. Throttle response and acceleration are excellent.
• Long nozzle type 2 hole injectors are used and provides a dual spray pattern for excellent fuel atomizationa and best in class performance.
• Easy to service 4.1 liter air box with a intake control valve provides state of the art intake and emission control. The foam air filter is a washable design.
• Maintenance-free transistor-controlled digital ignition (TCI) ensures fast starts and great performance at all rpms.
• Compact 16 bit ECU features 3D ignition mapping to accommodate the engine power characteristics. The ECU provides optimal timing at all rpms for fast engine response.
• Lightweight direct ignition coil is integrated into the plug cap to reduce weight and complexity
• Wide ratio 6-speed transmission features gear ratios designed for on and off road riding. This transmission adopts a "shower type" lubrication system for great reliability.
• Heavy-duty clutch matches engine output and offers a light, progressive clutch feel with less lever effort for smoother shifting.
• Quick-access, lightweight aluminum outer clutch cover allows fast, easy access to the clutch.
• Single, 9.5KW rad is used. The "exhaust air" (after it has passed through the rad) is directed away from the rider for excellent rider comfort. An electric cooling fan maintains consistent engine temperatures even in stop and go traffic. The single rad is located on the left side of the fuel tank.
• Lightweight, compact "rare-earth-type" ACM (alternating current magneto … 14V & 350W output ) is used.
• Upswept exhaust system features a stainless steel header pipe and a compact 3-stage expansion type muffler with a honeycomb catalyzer to reduce exhaust emissions. This system maximizes engine power and allows hassle-free replacement of the oil filter. It features a cleanable screen-type spark arrestor. Heat shields protect rider and passenger.
• The exhaust system also features Yamaha's EXUP System (Exhaust Ultimate Power Valve). The single butterfly valve prevents the "blow back" phenomenon caused by "valve overlap". The EXUP system eliminates "flat spots" in the power band and reduces emissions too.
• Solenoid activated Air Induction System (AIS) reduces harmful exhaust emissions

CHASSIS/Suspension:

• Lightweight, compact aluminum semi-double-cradle frame features a variety of components. The main frame is cast aluminum, while forged aluminum is used under the main frame below the steering head area and separate detachable down tubes are thin walled high tensile steel. Yamaha has maintained the semi double cradle design to allow for "controlled flex" to optimize suspension action. This frame design provides a low centre of gravity for a light feel and razor sharp handling.

• Detachable high tensile steel rear sub frame is constructed of round steel pipe. The detachable design provides easy rear suspension access and reduces costs in the event of loop out.

• Lightweight, tapered, aluminum swingarm features a mix of extruded, cast and forged parts. The main arms are extruded while the cross member at the front is cast and the rear portion at the chain adjusters are forged. This unique rear arm provides the best rigidity-strength balance plus a dynamic look too.

• 46mm, adjustable inverted, Kayaba cartridge fork provide excellent suspension performance. Front wheel travel is 270mm (10.6"). Front fork adjustments include: 19-way compression damping and 17-way rebound damping.

• Cast aluminum upper triple clamp and forged aluminum lower triple clamp reduce weight and provides excellent strength. The steering stem is light weight aluminum. The fork features a 25mm offset and a 28mm axle offset for great stability and neutral steering characteristics.

• YZ inspired "cantilever style" fork protectors wrap around the fork tubes for increased protection against dirt, mud and stone chips. These fork protectors are self-supporting to reduce friction for smoother fork operation.

• Monocross rear suspension system features a fully adjustable, piggy-back style shock. The damping rod is 14mm in diameter while the actual shock body is 46mm in diameter. Rear shock adjustments include: spring preload, 12 way compression damping and 23 way rebound damping. Rear wheel travel is 270mm (10.6").

• Link-type rear suspension provides a rising rate (progressive) suspension function. The linkage design is very similar to those used on the YZ/WR competition line-up. The linkage system provides a progressive function. As wheel travel increases, the shock absorber "resistance" increases as well. The benefit is the suspension is complaint or soft on small bumps but thanks to the changing lever ratio of the linkage, the system can also absorb bigger bumps or hits without bottoming out. The linkages are mounted below the swing arm to help reduce the centre of gravity.

• 250mm fully floating front disc brake with "wave style" rotor is squeezed by a twin piston Nissin caliper fitted with lightweight 27mm aluminum pistons. Nissin front master cylinder features an 11mm piston. Braking performance is excellent. Sintered metal pads are used

• 230mm rear disc utilizes a lightweight "wave style" rotor. The Nissin single piston caliper and an integrated Nissin rear master cylinder (fluid reservoir is integrated into the top of the master cylinder to reduce weight) delivers strong, progressive stopping power with excellent control and feel. Sintered metal pads are used

• Rugged yet light aluminum DID 21" (21 x 1.60) front and 18" (18 x 2.15) rear rims provide exceptional durability and help reduce unsprung weight for optimal suspension performance. Straight pull spokes are utilized.

• Competition WR series inspired lightweight, digital meter assembly. This compact meter features in the basic mode are; speedometer, odometer, dual tripmeters, and a clock plus FI system diagnostics. A stopwatch and distance-compensating tripmeter can be found in the "measurement or pace management mode".

• Gripper seat cover is based on the competition YZ/WR style seat.
• Stylish slim design front halogen headlight offers 60/55 watts of lighting power.
