Overview
The 2012 Honda CB 1000RA is a naked motorcycle powered by a 998 cm³ liquid-cooled DOHC inline four with four valves per cylinder. It produces 100 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm and weighs 220 kg.
The engine’s strongest torque comes at 8,000 rpm, so it needs to be revved to reach that output. Both suspension ends offer preload and damping adjustments, while the front uses dual 310 mm discs with radial-mounted four-piston calipers. The 815 mm seat height and 220 kg weight are important considerations for riders judging fit and low-speed maneuvering; final drive is by an O-ring chain.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
Preload and damping adjustments at both ends let riders tune the suspension to suit their preferences.
Strong front brake setup
The dual 310 mm front discs and radial-mounted four-piston calipers provide substantial braking hardware.
Useful torque output
The inline four makes 100 Nm at 8,000 rpm, giving the engine a defined torque peak higher in the rev range.
Things to consider
Substantial weight
At 220 kg, the bike may take more effort to maneuver at walking speed than a lighter motorcycle.
Chain final drive
The O-ring chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
