2014 Honda CB 1100 EX Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2014 Honda CB 1100 EX classic motorcycle, Honda relies on a 1140 cc (69.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 88.5 HP (64.6 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 91 Nm (67.1 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 77.6 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the CB 1100 EX measures 260 kg (573 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.34 HP/kg (2.94 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,490 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.5-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.59 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 313 km (194 miles) between fill-ups.
