Engineered by Honda for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2014 Honda CB 1100 relies on a 1140 cc (69.6 cu in) oil & air-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 93 Nm (68.6 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 measures 247 kg (545 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.36 HP/kg (2.79 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 14.6-liter (3.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.41 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 270 km (168 miles) between fill-ups.

Power
Compare engine output with similar motorcycles if acceleration, highway use or two-up riding matters.
Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
Transmission
Transmission and final drive affect maintenance, smoothness and everyday usability.
