At the heart of the 2011 Honda CB1000R ABS naked motorcycle, Honda utilizes a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 100 Nm (73.8 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 75.0 x 56.5 mm (3.0 x 2.2 inches) with a 11.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the CB1000R ABS measures 222 kg (489 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 825 mm (32.5 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,445 mm (56.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
