CBR1100X

This nameplate was Honda’s large-displacement CBR flagship at the time it arrived as a 1997 model, following development work intended to create a true world-class super sports motorcycle. Honda introduced it first in Europe, then expanded sales to North America and later Japan, where it reached the market in 2001. The machine was positioned between pure sportbike and high-speed sport-tourer, with a strong emphasis on aerodynamics, stability, and long-distance usability rather than track-only focus. In Honda’s own CBR history, it is presented as the model that carried the company’s supersport line into a new era after the earlier CBR1000F. The nameplate remained in production through the 2007 model year and did not return in a later separate run.
