2014 Honda CB 1100 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

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.
