Positioned in Honda's classic motorcycle lineup, the 2013 Honda CB1100 ABS relies on a 1140 cc (69.6 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 93 Nm (68.6 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 73.5 x 67.2 mm (2.9 x 2.6 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the CB1100 ABS measures 250 kg (551 lbs) wet (curb). 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 1,491 mm (58.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14.76-liter (3.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
