BLACK BEAUTY.
BLACK BEAUTY.
The Honda CB1000R has built its reputation on powerful, understated performance combined with cutting-edge Neo-Sports Café styling. And for 2021 we've done it one better: Introducing the CB1000R Black Edition. The blackout look is apparent at a glance, but the closer you look, the more attention to detail you'll see. This isn't just a bike with a black tank: virtually every element gets the treatment--the fork, subframe, radiator shrouds, airbox covers, front fender mounts, wheels, and more.
But there are some tasty machined highlights too--like the touches you'll see on the handlebar clamp, swingarm pivot plates, and wheel spokes, all of which give the Black Edition a hand-crafted, custom look. Other upgrades include a new digital instrument display, seat cowl, under-seat USB port, and a new quick shifter too. So come over to the dark side--on a CB1000R Black Edition.
SLIPPER/ASSIST CLUTCH
This innovative design hooks up tight to get all the CB1000R Black Edition's power to the ground, yet still offers a light pull at the clutch lever. Plus, the slipper design helps mitigate wheel hop during aggressive downshifts and deceleration.
NEW THREE-LEVEL QUICK SHIFTER
The CB1000R Black Edition features a six-speed manual gearbox, but with a key difference: this one comes with a quick shifter. That means you can upshift without the clutch under full power. Plus, the shifter also aids in downshifting and is adjustable for three shifter levels: soft, medium, and hard. This is race-bike-spec, built for the street.
INLINE FOUR ENGINE
The CB1000R Black Edition's powerful 998cc DOHC four-cylinder engine uses an architecture and layout proven on Honda's Superbikes. Forged (not cast) pistons make it as strong as it is powerful.
OPEN RIDING POSITION
We call it the rider triangle--where your butt hits the seat, where your feet rest on the pegs, and where your hands grip the bar. By opening up the triangle on the CB1000R Black Edition, you sit up a little straighter, which gives you a higher vantage point. Plus, most riders will find it a little more comfortable, too.
BLACKOUT STYLING
The CB1000R Black Edition is a standout both when it comes to performance and how it looks. And it hasn't just been dipped in black paint either--we use special black plating and black anodizing on parts like the front suspension, rear subframe, swingarm-pivot plates, handlebar clamp, the entire exhaust system, and more. You can see in the photos how it looks--and it looks even better in person.
