2011 Honda CB1000R

No Longer a Euro-only bike

From the January, 2011 issue of Super Streetbike

Finally, Honda has come to its senses and announced the CB1000R will be available to the American market. Released two years ago in Europe, the CB1000R is basically a stripped down CBR1000RR that's been "retuned" for the street.

With an eye-catching single-sided swingarm and aggressive styling it seems the only mods needed to make this the ultimate streetbike would be an aftermarket pipe and undertail. OK, and maybe a 40-shot of nitrous for good measure. Honda has listed the bike on its Web site, but pricing and availability are still to be determined.

Correction
We ran the wrong photo of the Gilles rearsets in our October review. Zamora has since been beaten severely for his mistake. For more information on these beauties please visit gillestooling.com.
