Description
Online advert = Motorcycle available. No trade requested. A unique specimen in France, a Replica of the famous CB1100R from 1982 based on a 2006 CB1300S. It’s a 4-cylinder injected machine mounted with Michelin Pilot Road IV tyres. Last technical inspection: 0 defects. All the enjoyment of riding a roadster with a race-type look. Engine/ gearbox in very good health. Full LED. New battery, recent oil changes (filter/ oil/ cooling fluid, brake bleed front and rear). Everything works. I’m including a winter cover + the two complete service folders with the workshop manual. This “Big One” has been meticulously maintained, as the photos attest. The Honda engine is renowned for very high longevity (capable of surpassing 200, 000 km without trouble). Description of the MOT Planète test: “The riding is among the most pleasant. You benefit from the engine’s extreme smoothness and pleasant controls. The clutch and gearbox are a treat. From there you can focus on the essentials: driving pleasure... and be swept up by the intoxication caused by the injected four-cylinder. Subtle at low revs, it leaves a short delay before you take hold of the bars and then it pulls unbelievably hard. A generous twist of the throttle after 3, 000 rpm and it really flies to the end of the rev range; regardless of gear, the engine has so much in its belly that it toys with all ratios. With so many watts, moving its 250 kg is done with surprising ease. The pace rises. From cruising to to winding on, it can even move into a sportier register, the machine follows. No need to move your body, everything is done with the right hand. Approach to the curve, braking: power and feel are very much present.”
