In addition, the driver can freely configure the user mode according to his taste and select the characteristics of the power delivery of the engine, the engine brake and the traction control.

Derived from the Fireblade, the 998 cm³ DOHC four-cylinder can be seen in the CB 1000 R, which still provides 145 hp at 10,500 rpm and 104 Nm at 8,250 rpm. Only the setup for the fuel injection is new here, which according to Honda for a "improved power output and sharper response as well as compliance with the Euro 5 standard" has been optimized.

Automatic hazard warning lights
