The highly anticipated CB1100F is set to hit Australia this month with fans lining up to get their hands on the latest release in this universally loved lineage of motorcycles.

As an ode to the much loved Honda CB750 Four, all round function, combined with easy performance and heritage styling mark the distinguishing characteristics of the new CB1100F.

Knowing that it’s a Honda, means the bike comes complete with all the standard-setting quality and reliability for which the manufacturer is world renowned.

The CB1100F offers a two-wheeled experience that is simply sublime thanks to its smooth power delivered from an 1140cc inline four-cylinder engine with dual overhead cams and an 8500 rpm rev range.

Fuel-injection helps achieve decent fuel economy while a small oil-cooler, combined with 2mm engine cooling fins ensures no overheating.

The front suspension comprises 41mm standard forks while the rear is suspended with a pair of preload-adjustable Showa dampers.

Visually, the CB1100 is classic perfection. Its impressive looks incorporate the large, clean engine that lends the rider into a purposeful, forward-biased stance, perfectly accentuated with the crisp, striking lines of the fuel tank. With a seat height of just 775 mm, riders of all heights will feel comfortable swinging a leg over the CB.

The clean, simple wheels integrated with the front brake disc carriers, the analog clocks with the large digital readout in the middle, the aircraft-style fuel filler cap, the minimalist seat and the Honda badges all give the CB1100F a unique vintage look whilst incorporating all the mod cons of a new bike.

Arriving in Australia in late May, the CB1100F is available in Candy Glory Red and Pearl Milky White. RRP is $14990 (plus on road costs).
