Ideal for navigating urban environments or traversing winding canyons, the CB1000R Black Edition is powerful and sophisticated, with a sleek, black design. Featuring an upright seating position that is more open, the power, torque, and performance of the liter-class engine deliver a rush of adrenaline, while the stripped-down naked streetbike style gets the heart racing, promising thrills every time you hit the road.
Features may include:
ENGINEERINGIt features a six-speed manual gearbox with a quick shifter, which means you can upshift without the clutch under full power. Plus, it aids in downshifting and is adjustable for three levels: soft, medium, and hard.
This innovative design hooks up tight to get all of the power to the ground, yet still offers a light pull at the clutch lever. Plus, it helps mitigate rear wheel hop under deceleration.
The exhaust system can make a critical difference in power and this four-into-one design boosts torque at 5,000 RPM and above, saves 10 pounds, and provides it with a deeper, more raw exhaust note.
PERFORMANCEThe powerful 988cc DOHC four-cylinder engine uses an architecture and layout proven on Honda Superbikes. Forged (not cast) pistons make it as strong as it is powerful.
COMFORTWe call it the rider triangle and opening it up you sit a little straighter, which gives you a higher vantage point. Plus, most riders will find it a bit more comfortable, too.
Weighing a mere 472 pounds, it earns its welterweight champion status. A lean open-class inline-four, devoid of excess, this beast maximizes performance, agility, and sheer enjoyment.
STYLEThis bike is a standout both when it comes to performance and looks—we use special black plating and black anodizing on parts like the front suspension, rear subframe, the entire exhaust system, and more.
The round-styled LED headlight is powerful and bright and sets the tone for the bike’s no-nonsense streetfighter presence.
We build the fuel tank without a visible bottom flange. Sure, it takes a little more effort to manufacture, but you get a fuel tank with a clean, custom look that we think is worth it. Plus, the tank is slimmer for an even better fit and lighter feel.
