Part high-performance sportbike, part mean and lean boulevard warrior. The outrageous new CB1000RA is the Naked bike that only Honda could build, with its stunning blend of snarling, take-no-prisoners attitude and surprisingly user-friendly everyday rideability. Packing the punch of a litre-class Superbike thanks to its CBR-derived fuel-injected engine, the CB1000RA's enhanced low-to-midrange torque gives it extra oomph in the tight quarters of the city while retaining effortless passing power on the open road. The sturdy aluminum mono-backbone frame is visually hardly even there, but it connects the aluminum Pro-Arm swingarm and fully adjustable 43 mm inverted fork to create a chassis that's stable when you need it to be, and nimble and responsive when you want to let loose on a twisty backroad. Plus, standard Combined Braking System with ABS lets you ride with confidence even when the road surface is less than ideal. The new Honda CB1000RA: it's naked aggression in a fun-to-ride package.

   * Compact and lightweight 998cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine with Honda's PGM-FI electronic fuel injection is tuned for dynamic low-to-midrange performance, with a smoothly linear climb up through the powerband to a thrilling top-end rush.
   * The engine's enhanced low-end torque allows you to pull away from a stop at less than 2,000 rpm without fear of engine stalling.
   * An impressive power-to-weight ratio gives the CB1000R Superbike-like performance in a user-friendly package.
   * Magnesium cylinder-head and alternator covers reduce engine weight.
   * The PGM-FI system incorporates an Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) to smooth responses to small changes in throttle position.
   * A hydraulically operated clutch ensures smooth clutch operation with an easy pull at the lever.
   * Low-slung stainless-steel exhaust system produces an exhilarating sound, while also being a key element in the CB1000RA's optimized mass centralization. By concentrating most of its mass directly under the engine, the system promotes quicker steering response and enhanced cornering clearance.

   * Angular "mass forward" design positions the rider forward for a sporty yet comfortable ride.
   * Advanced gravity-die-cast aluminum mono-backbone frame contributes to the CB1000RA's agile, sporty handling and highway stability.
   * Wide 17-inch wheels feature an eye-catching swept four-spoke design and carry supersport-class radial tires.
   * The fully adjustable 43 mm inverted front fork and cast-aluminum Pro-Arm swingarm with two-way adjustable HMAS (Honda Multi-Action System) shock are adjustable allowing you to set to your riding preference.
   * Lightweight 310 mm floating front rotors with radial-mount triple-piston calipers combine with a 256 mm dual-piston caliper rear brake to create a powerful stopping force.
   * Combined Braking System with ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) gives you extra peace of mind in all braking situations.
   * The CB1000R looks and feels more like a midsize sportbike, thanks to its compact dimensions and easy reach to both the ground and its controls. Its ergonomics locate the rider closer to the steering head for a riding position that shifts the balance of weight slightly forward onto the front tire, achieving a greater feeling of crisply responsive control.
   * Thick aluminum handlebar adds to the CB1000R's aggressive naked-bike look.

   * Unique front light array features a triangular multi-reflector headlight integrated into a compact cowl, and a seven-bulb LED position light.
   * Fully digital instrument panel provides three large LCD readouts. The tachometer features an instant multi-segment readout of engine speed, displayed in a wide, sweeping bar that extends across the top of the display.
   * The short, slim seat and sleek, upswept tail cowl take their design cues from the CBR1000RRA and Honda's RC212V MotoGP race bike. The seat is roomy and tapers towards the front, integrating smoothly with the side covers for a compact profile and a comfortable riding position.
   * The tail cowl is supported by a strong and rigid cast aluminum rail. It provides ample room for a passenger and integrates a distinctive LED taillight.
