Technical specifications

drive

Liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine produced from 998 cc a nominal power of 72 kW (98 hp) and a maximum torque of 88 Nm at a speed of 6500 min -1 . Unrestricted, the engine achieved a nominal output of 91.4 kW (124 hp) and a maximum torque of 95.2 Nm at a speed of 8600 min −1 . The cylinder head of the transversely installed in- line engine has two overhead camshafts , which control two intake and two exhaust valves per cylinder via rocker arms. The engine is structurally based on that of the Honda Fireblade , but has a cylinder bore enlarged from 71 mm to 77 mm . The four pistons have a stroke of 53.6 mm. The compression ratio is 10.5: 1. The pressure circulation lubrication has a wet sump. The motorcycle accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 225 km / h.

Power transmission

The primary drive is a helically toothed pair of spur gears. A hydraulically operated multi-plate wet clutch separates the power and a claw-shift transmission with six gears converts the torque. The secondary drive runs over an O sealing ring chain .

Fuel supply

Four 38 mm constant pressure carburetors ensure that the four-stroke engine is mixed . The ignition takes place for each cylinder by a computer-controlled, digital transistor ignition with electronic advance adjustment. The average fuel consumption is 6.8 liters per 100 km at a speed of 130 km / h. The fuel tank has a volume of 23 liters, of which 3.5 liters are in reserve, and enables a maximum range of 288 km. The manufacturer recommends using petrol with a knock resistance of at least 95 octane.

landing gear

The chassis is built on a steel bridge frame and has a steel box rocker at the rear. The ProLink central spring strut has a lever system with a gas pressure damper and 115 mm suspension travel. The front wheel is guided by a telescopic fork with a diameter of 41 mm and 130 mm of travel. The cartridge fork has a pneumatic chamber to dampen road vibration. A double disc brake with a diameter of 296 mm decelerates on the front tire and a disc brake with a diameter of 256 mm on the rear. Both brakes have Nissin calipers with three opposing pistons. A combined brake system called Dual Combined Brake System (DCBS) supports the metering of the two brakes. An anti-lock braking system was not offered for the motorcycle. The tires of the 17-inch three-spoke cast aluminum wheels are 120 / 70-17 at the front and 170 / 60-17 at the rear. The motorcycle has a main stand and side stand as standard.

Model history

The motorcycle presented in 1986 was the temporary departure of the world market leader from the concept of the four-cylinder V-engine . During the construction period from 1987 to 1999, the motorcycle was extensively revised three times. In 1989 the bike received some cosmetic changes with a complete redesign of the front fairing, improvements to the front suspension and larger tires. A modified timing chain tensioner reduced the rattle of the timing chain. The output was increased slightly to 101 kW (137 hp) and the vehicle weight increased. In 1992 the fairing was revised and made more streamlined and a combined braking system called the Dual Combined Brake System (DCBS) was first introduced by Honda. The last CBR 1000 F rolled off the assembly line in Japan in 1999. Honda did not have a direct successor with comparable vehicle characteristics.

Reviews

“The CBR 1000 F, a trendsetter from yesteryear, is hardly noticeable anymore, full fairing has long been standard for athletes and tourers. Officially, it is offered with 98 hp, but the dealer can de-throttle it to a nominal 130 hp, which means that it is good in the forage compared to the current competition. And above all, it can still be driven quickly and comfortably - a real recommendation for sporty tourists with a sense of relaxed travel. "

- Fabian Hoberg, Fred Siemer : Motorcycle

“The CBR hides its fat cylinder block and all of its innards completely under a plastic cover - actually a shame. If you are looking for an inexpensive big bike suitable for long journeys, the Honda is the right choice. "

- Motorrad , edition 7/2008

“The CBR 1000 F was one of the first motorcycles in the modern era to have a full fairing. Evil tongues blasphemed, so it looks like a mobile bathroom facility. But despite its funny looks (which was later modified), the CBR 1000 F remained Honda's flagship and fastest motorcycle until the FireBlade was introduced in 1992. "

- Alan Dowds : Motorcycles

“The sports-touring Honda CBR 1000 F was always in the shadow of more exciting motorcycles, yet had a decade long production run. It had its good points, such as a comfortable riding position, good build quality - except for early camchain tensioner problems - and respectable handling. "

“The Honda CBR 1000 F sports tourer has always been overshadowed by more exciting motorcycles, but was still in production for a decade. It has its advantages, such as a comfortable seating position, good workmanship - with the exception of early timing chain tensioners - and proper handling. "
