Located in France is an ultra cool, ultra rare Honda CB1100R. While not in the same cutting edge technical league as, say a NR750, RC30 or RC45, the CB1100R was distinctly race-bred on the endurance circuit of Europe. That makes this a real hot rod among the more pedestrian CB set, and the CB-R sports some pretty unique hardware that offers real world performance. One needs only to glance at those beautiful magnesium covers to know that Honda meant business. This particular bike presents nicely, and the seller has some good info on it. Read on!

The motorcycle is fitted with the essentials that make the value of an 1100R: original exhausts, original screen and mirrors, toolbox, rims in very good condition, original saddle… The paint is generally clean even if not perfect, which is understandable on a motorcycle of this age.A slight mark on the right side of the tank is the most noticeable element

The CB1100R is a bit of a big girl, tipping the scales at over 500 pounds dry. That is quite a bit more over the stock CB900F on which the bike was based. But with the reinforced chassis, beefed up suspension, and bigger powerplant, the CB1100R is also quite a bit more potent. Figure 120 crank HP out of the 1062cc, air-cooled, four valve inline four. That is mostly thanks to the big cam and serious compression ratio. The big fairing, large square headlight, and solo-look all add to the endurance racer look, as does the nearly 7 gallon fuel tank.
Today’s example appears to be a stock example of the 1982 Type BC model. Corrosion looks to be minimal, although there appears to be some damage to the lower cowling due to rock chips and heat coming off the 4-into-2 pipes. None of that is surprising given the nearly 22,000 miles showing on the all KM clocks. That just goes to show that these hot rods are pretty reliable and ultimately quite usable for a rare, collectible model. Interested readers can check out this one here. The bike is located overseas for US readers, but I hear France is lovely this time of year. Good Luck!!

To bad it is in France. I believe I’ve seen half fairing one of these on ebay for about $29K a few times. Actually I’m happy w/ my ’83 CB1100F. She’s a big girl but puts a smile on my face and I get alot of thumbs up.
