Honda's successful endurance racers of the late 1970s were developments of the company's road-going CB750, so it was only fitting that the competition programme should give rise to another production model: the fearsomely powerful CB1100R. Ridden by stars such as Ron Haslam, Wayne Gardner and Roger Marshall, the works bikes thrilled British race-goers 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 relatively rare model is increasingly sought after by collectors.

One of only 1,050 B' models built, this example was imported from Spain in 2016, since when it has been stored in a heated environment. The vendor advises us that the Honda has covered only 7,622 miles and is in immaculate condition, although not run recently. The machine is offered with a file of paperwork and a V5C registration document.
