Rider Profile

Best ForA comfortable, predictable machine well suited to riders progressing beyond a first bike who want classic style without overwhelming power.
PurposeBuilt as a retro-styled all-rounder for relaxed street riding, weekend cruising, and light touring rather than outright performance.
Rider FitIts moderate seat height and manageable weight make it accessible to most riders, though the air-cooled four-cylinder engine and traditional chassis add some heft at low speed.
CharacterA classic-feeling, air-cooled in-line four with smooth low-to-midrange torque delivery and an unhurried, mechanical charm rather than aggressive urgency.
Not Ideal ForNot a good fit for riders seeking sharp sportbike acceleration, aggressive cornering ability, or any genuine off-road capability.

2011 Honda CB1100 Type 2 ABS Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 765mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Honda CB1100 Type 2 ABS, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
