2011 Honda CBR

The motorcycle that has continually combined high horsepower with a lightweight and agile chassis, the Honda CBR1000RR, returns for 2011.

Not much has changed on the sportbike, except for some new color schemes. Besides looks, internally the CBR remains the same as last year’s motorcycle.

Also like last year, the CBR 1000 RR is available with C-ABS, Honda’s famed Combined ABS. This system is a true “brake-by-wire” design, which means that they are electronically controlled.

Unlike conventional ABS, where the feel at the lever is soft due to hydraulic pressure, the C-ABS offers a more responsive brake-lever feel.

New for 2011

  • The Repsol MotoGP Edition returns along with an exciting new Red/Black and all Black color schemes. C-ABS model available in Red/Black only.
  • All colors have silver frames and silver swingarm.
