The new Honda CB and CBR from 2011 land !

Alongside the Crossrunner and the CBR250R, real Honda revelations at the Milan EICMA 2010 Motor Show, four new motorcycles are on the podiums: the sporty CBR125R and CBR600F and the CB600F Hornet and CB1000R roadsters. Presentations.

Refined CB600F Hornets and CB1000Rs

In the CB, the time has come for a reshuffle … no ministerial no, rather aesthetic! Thus the CB600F Hornet sports new shapes, largely inspired by the bestseller CB1000R.

Criticized from the release of the new generation of Hornet 600 in 2007, the rear part of the Hornet inherited in 2011 the sleek style of that of the "thousand". The little Honda roadster immediately loses the somewhat clumsy appearance that the bitons colors of recent years tried to make people forget..

This change – which did not have to require months of intense work in the design offices of Tokyo or Rome – would be enough on its own to legitimize a new name CB600R, closer to that of the maxiroadster and therefore more selling, no ?!

Instead, the Japanese preferred to rework the acronym "Hornet" so as to make it more dynamic, the "N" taking the equivocal shape of a heartbeat as it is observed on an electrocardiogram. It must be recognized that the general public will be more sensitive to this development.

In addition to its liposuction, the Hornet underwent a facelift in 2011: more tapered, not to say "more CB1000R", the new front optical unit also receives a new inspired meter – we give it to you on the "bullseye". . – by the CB1000R !

The game of seven differences between the 2010 technical sheet and that of 2011 – which Site loves to play! -, we can note that the alternator goes from 333 to 316 W, that the length of the machine increases by 60 mm (2150 mm in all) but that its height decreases by 20 (or 1075 mm now).

The new Honda CB600F Hornet will be available in the first quarter of 2011 for a "close to the current price", indicates Honda France (the 2010 appears in the catalog at 7,590 € turnkey and +600 € for ABS).

The CB1000R meanwhile evolves even more smoothly since only three modifications are on the program in 2011 … It will be available at the end of 2010 at the same price as the current one (11,390 euros for the standard version and 11,990 euros for the ABS version).

"To stay ahead of the most exciting and efficient roadsters on the market", rejoices in advance the world number one, the CB1000R receives a new aluminum handlebar with gold surface treatment.

A new diode position light – seven diodes, MNC counted for you – is also appearing and "reinforces the originality of the front optics".

But the most striking is undoubtedly the adoption of a new tricolor "Xtreme" dress with the most beautiful effect: blue-white-red, this color will delight the French – but also the English with whom we share these colors. Honda brings the final touch by painting the rims in gold. cock-a-doodle Doo !
