Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits riders with at least some experience who enjoy a high-revving small-displacement four-cylinder that rewards spirited, engaged riding.
PurposeIt's built as a lightweight, naked sportbike-styled machine ideal for spirited street riding and weekend backroad fun rather than outright speed or distance.
Rider FitThe compact, lightweight chassis and low weight make it easy to manage for riders of varying size and strength, including smaller or less physically imposing riders.
CharacterThe CB-1 has a peppy, revvy in-line four character with a naked-bike stance, favoring nimble handling and engine enthusiasm over raw power or plush comfort.
Not Ideal ForIt's not a good fit for riders seeking long-distance touring comfort, heavy passenger carrying, or serious off-road capability.
