Engine no. SC05E-2200415

Ridden by stars such as Ron Haslam, Wayne Gardner and Roger Marshall, the works Honda CB1100R production racers thrilled British racegoers throughout the early 1980s. In effect a limited edition 'homologation special' based on the road-going CB900F, the racer-on-the-road CB1100R was the RC30 of its day and priced accordingly. Honda UK initially ordered only 100, with deliveries commencing in November 1980, and sold the CB1100R for £3,700. That might seem cheap today but you could buy a new CB900FZ for £1,999 at the time! It's not surprising that the CB1100R sold in correspondingly small numbers, mainly to race teams and wealthy enthusiasts, and today this exclusive model is increasingly sought after by collectors. Over a three year period (1981-1983) approximately 4,050 were completed, making the CB1100R an extremely rare model by Honda standards.

Offered here is an example of the final CB1100RD version. Built during 1983 and first registered on 11th June 1984, 'A133 VUC' has had only three owners from new: the first from 1984-1985, covering approximately 5,100 miles; the second from 1985-2016, purchased from Wheels International of Hockliffe on 4th May 1985 and covering an average of 1,600 miles a year during his time riding it; and our vendor from 2016 onwards, spending the last 7 years of its life in climate controlled storage. It last ran in 1999. The recorded mileage of 27,606 appears to be genuine, and the motorcycle seems to be largely unmolested. Accompanying paperwork includes the original service booklet; 1985 purchase invoice; five old MoT certificates; a quantity of service and repair invoices; a photocopy of an old-style V5 registration document; and a V5C document. Re-commissioning is advised before further use.
