All colours are available in standard and C-ABS-equipped versions. It marks the end of the almost-Kawasaki-ish metallic green that seemed to best express the angular, aggressive look of the CB1000R. Still, cool bike.

Introduction     
The lean, mean and muscular CB1000R dares you to experience the best Naked riding experience of your life. Packing the punch of full-blooded litre-class Super Sports, its compact RR-derived engine delivers awesome power with an exciting focus on low-to-midrange torque.
Its styling is just as dynamic as its performance – a crouching, feline profile is adorned with eye-catching details that highlight its cutting-edge technology. For 2010 two stunning new colour variations show off its top-quality finish and elegantly sculpted bodywork. These include a new Pearl Siena Red/Pearl Nightstar Black version with stripes and painted frame.
Its lightweight and rigid cast aluminium frame holds together a chassis comprised of top Super Sports-class suspension, wheels and brakes that contribute to nimble handling and quick, easy control. A Combined-ABS version is also available, for the smoothest, most confidence-inspiring braking in all situations.
The seat is narrow yet comfortable and the suspension is adjustable for a tailor-made ride, making the CB1000R an attractive option for every kind of ride, from weekday commuting to weekend blasts along twisty roads beyond the city limits. For anyone who relishes the attention that comes with riding a true performer, and the satisfying performance to back it up, the CB1000R offers it all in a compact litre-class road bike that anyone can enjoy.
