Honda CB1000R Plus Highlights

Honda has launched the CB1000R+ in the country at Rs 14.46 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). This particular variant features a quickshifter, heated grips, a flyscreen with aluminium inserts, a pillion seat cowl, aluminium panels on the front fender and rear tyre hugger, and a premium radiator grille with CB1000R logo as standard. The new CB1000R exudes proper neo-retro styling and is radically different than the one which was sold before. Bookings are open at all the exclusive Honda Wing World dealerships across the country, and the bike is available only in Graphite Black colour.

Powering the new Honda CB1000R+ is a 1000cc, inline-four, liquid-cooled engine. It is mated to a 6-speed transmission with assist and slipper clutch, and produces 191.7PS at 13,000rpm and 114Nm at 11,000rpm. It gets ride-by-wire with three riding modes, Honda Selectable Torque Control and dual-channel ABS. Suspension bits include Showa SFF-BP inverted forks and Showa BRFC monoshock, both fully adjustable. The motorcycle comes to a halt using 310mm dual front discs with radial calipers and a 256mm disc at the rear. The Honda CB1000R+ competes with Kawasaki Z 1000 R, BMW S 1000 R, Suzuki GSX-S1000 and the soon-to-be-launched Yamaha MT-10.
