1983 Honda CB1100R
Frame no. SC08-2100879
Engine no. SC05E-2200954

• Street legal endurance racing bike
• 4 years restoration from BHP Powersports in Roseville, CA
• Same owner since 1994

Built only between 1981 and 1983, CB1100R were made in very small quantities. More than a regular sportbike, the CB1100R represented the evolution of Honda's famous inline 4 to endurance racing. Based on the CB900F, the 1062cc engine received many upgrades, as well as the frame and suspensions to make it competition ready. Unlike the CB900F, the engine was installed as a stressed member of the bike which helped handling at a cost of few more vibrations. Honda also implemented some performing braking components, especially the front dual-piston brakes with vented discs, and the TRAC anti-dive system which made the bike stable even in braking situation.

The bike on sale here went though a full restoration between 2014 and 2018 showing a total of 23210 miles. The owner took it to BHP Powersports in Roseville, California where the restoration took about 4 years due to the rarity of the parts. All the receipts will be given to the buyer. The bike belongs to the same owner since 1994 and got it from a family friend who was the first owner.
