The retro superbikes are designed to appeal to those who are old enough to remember unfaired muscle-bikes the first time round - those who rode bikes in the '70s and who aren't now limber enough to squeeze themselves aboard a state-of-the-art race-replica. the born-again biker is the target market for these bikes, and one of the best examples of these retro machines is the honda cb1000. using a de-tuned engine from a honda cbr1000f, the cb1000 harks back to the days of the cb1100 and the cb900. the water-cooled, double overhead cam, 16-valve, in-line four cylinder engine is a far cry from the air-cooled eight-valve engines of the '70s, but it is the focal point of this superbike. pumping out loobhp at 8500rpm the cb1000 has a top speed of around 140mph. the engine is capable of producing a lot more power than it actually does, but honda have tuned it for low and mid-range output, and brute acceleration, rather than top speed. this is because without a fairing on it, the cb1000 is a struggle to ride at speeds over 120mph. so it might as well be tuned for eyeball-popping acceleration instead. please e-mail the webmaster if you have a picture worth adding We Also Offer Classic Motorbike Insurance |
