Find Your Dream Ride: The Through MY50
When it comes to classic motorcycles, few models stir the soul like the 1983 Honda CB1100R. Designed as a limited-edition homologation bike, the CB1100R combines breathtaking performance with iconic styling. And now, through MY50 Motorcycles, you can source this legendary machine directly from Japan.
A Brief History of the Honda CB1100R
Honda introduced the CB1100R in 1981 to dominate endurance racing. Over three production years (1981–1983), the bike evolved to meet the highest performance standards. The 1983 model, known as the RD, was the final iteration—and arguably the best.
This bike was lightweight for its time, with an aluminum fuel tank and a fiberglass tailpiece. Honda’s engineers tuned it for speed and control, making it a popular choice for both racers and collectors. The CB1100R’s rarity and racing pedigree cement its place as one of the most coveted vintage motorcycles ever produced.

The 1983 Honda CB1100R RD is a masterpiece of engineering. Here are its key specifications:
- Engine: 1062cc, air-cooled, inline-four, DOHC
- Power Output: Approximately 115 hp at 9,000 rpm
- Torque: 96 Nm at 8,000 rpm

These specs made the CB1100R a powerhouse in its day. Even now, it’s a standout performer among vintage motorcycles.
Why the 1983 CB1100R Is Special
