Engineered by Honda for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2010 Honda CB1000R C-ABS pairs a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 123.4 HP (90.1 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 99 Nm (73 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 123.6 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the CB1000R C-ABS measures 114 kg (251 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 1.08 HP/kg (0.92 kg per horsepower). 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-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
