Honda CB1100R – The Samurai Among Superbikes

There are motorcycles built to dutifully handle the daily commute. And then there are machines like this one: the Honda CB1100R, a two-wheeled statement that made it clear from the start that compromises were for other people.

This 1982 CB1100R was Honda’s rolling declaration of war against Ducati, Moto Guzzi & Co. – a street-legal racing machine designed to leave anything in the fast lane eating its dust.

History – An Icon of the Early 80s
When the CB1100R was unveiled, even seasoned racers were amazed:

✅ 106 hp from a 1062cc four-cylinder
✅ A dry weight under 250 kg
✅ Standard full fairing, lightweight alloy chain guard, box-section swingarm, and four-into-one exhaust

This wasn’t just a motorcycle – it was the official ticket to the Superbike league, though you could use it to fetch bread rolls if you absolutely had to.

This particular example has a remarkable history: 16 years in one family, 11 of them with you, with documented provenance, matching numbers (RC05), and a prior restoration.

Condition – Maintained, Cared For, Ready for New Adventures
Though a collector’s item today, the CB1100R was never left to gather dust. On the contrary:

✅ Major service in 2025 by a professional:

• Fork overhaul
• Carbs fully rebuilt (seals, ultrasonic cleaning, synchronization)
• Full lubrication service
• New fuel tap
• Oil and filter change
• New technical inspection

These works alone cost €2,700 – clear proof that no corners were cut.

Equipment – Originality Meets Individuality
Currently fitted:

• Laser 4-in-1 exhaust – a throaty sound that makes it clear this is no ordinary four-cylinder.
• Honda box-section swingarm – stability and precision in corners.

For purists, all the original parts are included.

Riding Experience – The Golden Age of Superbikes
Fire up the engine, hear the fierce snarl of four cylinders, twist the throttle – and you’ll instantly understand why the CB1100R was feared in its day.

Throttle response is as immediate as a Kendo strike, the riding position unapologetically sporty. This is no cruiser. This machine was built to be ridden properly: fast, precise, without concern for neck muscles or faint hearts.

Conclusion – Not for the Indecisive
This CB1100R isn’t a friendly beginner’s bike. It’s a statement. A piece of motorsport history that, over 40 years later, still proves that true superbikes are timeless.

✅ Matching numbers
✅ Well-maintained
✅ Extensive history
✅ Original parts included

So if you want a motorcycle that doesn’t just take you from A to B but demands respect on every meter, this is the one.

And if that’s too much character – there are plenty of scooters with storage compartments and phone holders over there.

Not here. Here, you get nothing but the pure essence of speed.
