Positioned in Honda's classic motorcycle lineup, the 2014 Honda CB1100 utilizes a 1140 cc (69.6 cu in) oil & air-cooled in-line four, four-stroke layout. 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 measures 244.9 kg (540 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 792 mm (31.2 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.
