2024 Honda CB1000R Black Edition

Comfort

• OPEN RIDING POSITION: We call it the rider triangle and opening it up you sit a little straighter, which gives you a higher vantage point. Plus, most riders will find it a bit more comfortable, too.
• LEAN, LIGHT, STRONG: Weighing a mere 472 pounds, it earns its welterweight champion status. A lean open-class inline-four, devoid of excess, this beast maximizes performance, agility, and sheer enjoyment.

Engineering

• ADJUSTABLE QUICK SHIFTER: It features a six-speed manual gearbox with a quick shifter, which means you can upshift without the clutch under full power. Plus, it aids in downshifting and is adjustable for three levels: soft, medium, and hard.
• THREE-LEVEL ADJUSTABLE QUICK SHIFTER: This innovative design hooks up tight to get all of the power to the ground, yet still offers a light pull at the clutch lever. Plus, it helps mitigate rear wheel hop under deceleration.
• FIVE-INCH TFT INSTRUMENT DISPLAY: Check out the instruments on this awesome machine. You get a big, bright, five-inch TFT (Thin Film Transistor) display that gives you all the information you’ll need while riding.
• BLACKED-OUT EXHAUST: From the four head pipes all the way to the end of the muffler, the exhaust is a harmonizing symphony of black tones that not only sounds great, but looks great, too.
• FOUR-INTO-ONE EXHAUST: The exhaust system can make a critical difference in power and this four-into-one design boosts torque at 5,000 RPM and above, saves 10 pounds, and provides it with a deeper, more raw exhaust note.
• HONDA SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL: A great system that combines its old-school raw horsepower with a modern power delivery that keeps the bike hooked up and the power flowing under a wide variety of surface conditions.
• HUGE REAR TIRE: To get all that engine power to the road, the Black Edition comes with a massive rear tire.
• POWERFUL BRAKES: Large dual radial-mount four-piston front calipers bite 310mm floating rotors, while the twin-piston rear caliper squeezes a 256mm rear rotor, the combination providing massive stopping power. Plus, front and rear ABS are standard, which keeps braking even more under control, especially in adverse conditions.
• SINGLE-SIDED SWINGARM: A unique, single-sided swingarm is part of the bike’s excellent handling character, but also contributes a great deal to the way this machine looks.
• SPECIAL GEARING: We fit the close-ratio six-speed transmission with gearing designed to emphasize the bike’s awesome acceleration. Crack the throttle and you’ll feel it instantly.
• THROTTLE-BY-WIRE: Using our throttle–by-wire system, we’ve given it four riding modes (Standard, Sport, Rain and User), the last one letting you choose between three settings for each parameter and save the settings.

Performance

• INLINE FOUR ENGINE: The powerful 988cc DOHC four-cylinder engine uses an architecture and layout proven on Honda Superbikes. Forged (not cast) pistons make it as strong as it is powerful.

Style

• BLACKOUT STYLING: This bike is a standout both when it comes to performance and looks—we use special black plating and black anodizing on parts like the front suspension, rear subframe, the entire exhaust system, and more.
• ALL-LED LIGHTING PACKAGE: When it comes to lighting, it embraces an all-LED setup, offering lighter, brighter, and longer-lasting illumination throughout its entire package.
• CLASSIC ROUND HEADLIGHT: The round-styled LED headlight is powerful and bright and sets the tone for the bike’s no-nonsense streetfighter presence.
• FLANGELESS FUEL TANK: We build the fuel tank without a visible bottom flange. Sure, it takes a little more effort to manufacture, but you get a fuel tank with a clean, custom look that we think is worth it. Plus, the tank is slimmer for an even better fit and lighter feel.
• REAR SPLASHGUARD: Adding a touch of sharp, contemporary style, the rear splashguard/fender seamlessly attaches to the swingarm and is a distinctive accentuating detail.
• UNDERSTATED STYLE: This beast sends a subtle message that this is a premium machine. Check out the burnished-aluminum radiator shroud and airbox cover, along with the engine cases, cylinder head, and sprocket hub.
