Honda CBR1000R Review

Honda CB1000R-
Is a bike with a stunning looks and a compact design that is sure to be a hit with India’s bike lovers and it will take the competition from Yamaha’s MT-01 head on. CB1000R a sibling to the higher priced CBR1000RR gets its splendid engine from the latter fitted beautifully into its naked frame. The CB1000R includes fully adjustable radial and front brakes taken from the Fireblade CBR 1000RR and a highly secure H.I.S.S. Security System.

Apart from adding glamour to its appearance the lightweight naked frame design gives the rider a great riding experience. The forward bend orientation helps position the rider slightly forward and seemingly above its dynamic four cylinder engine. This compactness of the bike takes the rider closer to the steering handle and thereby giving the rider greater comfort and swift control that is a unique differentiator between a sports bike and the regular bikes.
