Information: " The CBR encompasses two almost mutually exclusive personalities. It spits out 111 horsepower at the rear wheel, yet it starts easily and motors around town with smooth, carlike civility. There´s little the CBR can´t do, and do very well. ...the CBR powerplant feels wonderful: smooth, refined, tight, and always willing, whether in town or on the superslab. ...unless you rev the engine hard, you can barely hear it above the whistle of the passing breeze. On the Honda, 95 mph feels like 65, with its engine spinning seemingly without effort. When the road goes on forever, the CBR is a plush place to be. Simply put, if you want the most refined, carefully developed literbike, the one that balances strength in every performance category with a polished feel that separates it from its competition, the CBR 1000 is calling your name."
