The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, going on to make over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The CB1100R was a limited edition bike built to allow it to be used in various production races around the world with only about 2500 being manufactured over a 3 year period. It was Honda's first 'homologation special' and competed in production class racing in most major markets including Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. It was immediately successful with Wayne Gardner winning the famous Castrol Hour race in Australia in 1980.

This example was bought by the vendor in 2006 and has had a gradual restoration since then, using many new parts. It has had recent chain and sprockets, a brake overhaul with new seals and pads, a front fork overhaul with new bushes and seals and a new swinging arm and steering bearings. Presented in more or less standard trim, with the original fairing and windscreen, it is fitted with a replica Black chrome exhaust with the downpipes modified to fit within the belly pan. Only being sold as the 85 year old vendor now finds it too heavy for him to ride. Supplied with a copy of a parts list, a copy of a comprehensive owners/workshop manual, various receipts, old MOTs, and a current V5C.
