Interesting Color Scheme for a Honda.

This is the 1000R

Did you maybe mean 1100R?

This one is the shiznit. Definitely on the short list of new bikes. I'll be in the market in another year or so. 3 bikes keeps me busy for now.

Nope, I meant this one, the CB1000R.

1100r is amazing

I hate the wheels on the CB1000R. No matter how much I liked the bike, they'd have to be changed in a minute, for me.

That decal on the Honda sidecover says "RossoCromo"...

Really??

I like this photoshopped version with black wheels and black tank. The bike with the red tank, black fenders and silver fairing is a little too busy with one too many colors.

Here is a video of the CB1100 in action. The video doesn't do the tank any favors. Also, we get to see the bike can cruise in the 2-3K rpm range without any problems.

CBR front end with radial brakes

Cafe-style solo seat

Rear sets

Clip ons

Tail chop

Hell, yes. I'd ride that make the beast with two backser till the wheels came off.

i read in bike magazine when the cb1000r first came out they were designed and assembled by honda italy so the rosso cromo would make sense in that context

it needs upside down forks

Why does that 1100 sound like a farm tractor?

My beef with the new CB1000R...

The CB1000R is not available in the US. Cycleworld did a feature on it a couple of months ago and practically begged Honda to bring it to the US.
I fit the demographic for that bike and I love Naked Sportbikes but I wouldn't give the CB1000R a second glance.
(OK I would, but now that I know the stats I wouldn't) It's too heavy, not enough power, (123BHP) and fitted with cheap suspension and brakes.
Europe can have it.

Honda hear this: there are plenty of cheap big nakeds on the market, If you want to take that market segment by storm give us a real naked CBR1000RR not some crappy watered down version for old guys. That's why I bought a streetfighter, Ducati got it right.

Yes, it is rather porky, which is why I am eagerly awaiting a review of the 2010 Z1000.
