The Honda CB1100R was an exotic Honda model that 1500 units worldwide. It was a single-seat, full faired sports bike based on the Honda CB900. ]The R suffix denotes a racing version, however the CB1100R was a road-legal machine produced by Honda and offered for sale to the public. It was produced only in numbers sufficient to meet the homologation requirements for the R to be classed as a production motorcycle in markets into which it was sold. It was Honda's first 'homologation special’ and was raced in the production class racing in most major markets: including Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. It was not sold in the US.

Old before its time, the CB11 was yesterday’s news during its finest hour. This track biased superbike ended up leading Honda back to victory lane but at a price. Just four years after the final chassis left the factory the world changed again as the RC30 was here and made the CB look elderly. The smart money invested and ensured a CB11 lived in their garage, as time plus the exclusivity have made this Honda very desirable. In the UK, Ron Haslam won the Shell Oils/MCN British Streetbike Series 1981 on a CB1100R taking seven of eight rounds, the following year Wayne Gardner completed the double before the series ceased. The CB1100R burned brightly but briefly, a race bike that ventured on to the roads, when the opportunities arose it delivered on track, over short and long distances.

Engine size may have limited its longevity as race series looked beneath the 1 litre category from the mid-80s, the CB11 is appreciated more now than it was just four decades after launch; overall around 1050 entered the world so the odds on seeing one at your local meet are limited. With Fast Freddie Spencer taking their first World Championship win for 15 years aboard the NS500 at Belgian in 1982, it could be considered the CB1100R was the bike that got Honda winning again; so, not a bad legacy.

The bike has been imported legally into Australia is 2021. Comes with a roadworthy for NSW. Has been detailed cleaned thoroughly. And will turn over easily.

This bike truly has be seen to be believed!
