Command the night

Ideal for navigating urban environments or traversing winding canyons, the CB1000R Black Edition is powerful and sophisticated, featuring a sleek, obsidian design. The liter-class engine delivers a rush of adrenaline, while the stripped-down streetfighter style gets the heart racing, promising thrills every time you hit the road.

Performance

Inline-four engine

Mirroring Honda's proven superbike design, this black beauty is driven by a 998cc DOHC four-cylinder engine. Internally, forged pistons produce serious strength and power for uncompromising performance.

Handling

Single-sided swingarm

The unique single-sided swingarm contributes to the bike's superior handling character and captivating looks.

Light. Lean. Strong.

Weighing a mere 467 points, it earns its welterweight champion status. It's a lean, open-class inline-four, devoid of excess, that maximizes performance, agility, and sheer enjoyment.

Powerful brakes

Large dual radial-mount four-piston front calipers bite 310mm floating rotors, while the twin-piston rear caliper squeezes a 256mm rear rotor, providing supreme confidence and control while stopping. Plus, front and rear ABS is standard.

Engineering

Slipper clutch

The innovative slipper clutch hooks up tight to get more power to the ground while maintaining an effortless clutch lever pull. It also curbs wheel hop on spirited downshifts under extreme deceleration.

Special gearing

We fit the close-ratio six-speed transmission with gearing designed to emphasize the bike’s awesome acceleration. Crack the throttle, and you’ll feel it instantly.

Throttle-by-wire

Using our throttle–by–wire system, we’ve given it four riding modes (Standard, Sport, Rain, and User). The last one lets you choose between three settings for each parameter and save the settings.

Style

Blackout styling

It's not merely painted black; distinctive black plating and anodizing grace components from the front suspension to the exhaust for a strikingly custom appearance.

Rear splashguard

The rear splashguard/fender seamlessly attaches to the swingarm, adding a sharp and contemporary touch.

Classic round headlight

The round-styled LED headlight is powerful and bright, setting the tone for the bike’s no-nonsense streetfighter presence.

Understated style

Take a long, close look at the details of this bike. It sends a subtle message that this is a premium machine. Check out the burnished aluminum radiator shroud, airbox cover, engine cases, cylinder head, and sprocket hub.

Comfort and Convenience

Upright riding position

We call it the 'rider triangle': your perch, pegs, and grip. On this super streetfighter, an expanded triangle elevates your stance, offering a heightened viewpoint and enhancing comfort.

Technology

Quick shifter

It's equipped with a quick shifter for effortless clutchless upshifts under hard acceleration. Featuring three adjustable levels, it also reduces rear-wheel hop when downshifting.

TFT Display

A vivid 5-inch TFT (Thin-film Transistor) screen displays essential information at a glance, including gear position, speed, tach, engine temp, remaining fuel, and more.

All-LED lighting

When it comes to lighting, we use an all-LED setup, giving the bike lighter, brighter, and longer-lasting illumination throughout its entire package.
