Leveraging the power and power output characteristics of a big bike, it can be enjoyed for a wide range of purposes, from city driving to highways and even winding roads in the suburbs. On November 24, 1992, the Honda CB1000 SUPER FOUR, a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) naked road sports bike that combines the two, was released.
CB1000 Overview
The Honda CB1000 Super Four is a 1000cc class motorcycle that belongs to the CB series manufactured and sold by Honda Motor Co., Ltd. from 1992 to 1998.
The model name is SC30. It is a naked type motorcycle released in 1992 as the company’s CB series flagship model after exhibiting it at the 29th Tokyo Motor Show held in 1991.
The engine is equipped with a water-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, in-line 4-cylinder, 998cc engine that provides powerful output characteristics in the medium and low rev range, which is often used on a daily basis. Even in the rev range, it realizes a more powerful and comfortable running. In addition, PGM-IG (Electronic Control Ignition Device) that detects the throttle opening and engine speed and provides the ideal ignition timing according to driving is adopted. This makes it possible to demonstrate powerful combustion power over a wider rev range, and achieves responsiveness that responds quickly to subtle accelerator operations. In addition, the entire engine is painted in a fearless matte gray metallic paint, and combined with the buff-finished head cover and clutch cover, and the hairline-finished aluminum impact-molded siren lens, it is full of high quality.
The frame and undercarriage use a double cradle type of round cross-section steel pipe, and while utilizing the toughness (flexibility) of the steel pipe, the rigidity is balanced to create a tenacious steering feel. . The front suspension adopts his cartridge type with a large diameter 43mm inner tube and smooth damping force characteristics. In addition, it is equipped with a combination of quick release brackets that are convenient when attaching and detaching the wheel. In addition, the rear suspension is equipped with a damper with a reservoir tank that exhibits stable damping force characteristics even during hard driving and has excellent heat dissipation. Combined with the long wheelbase (1,540mm) and extra-thick aluminum rear fork, it achieves both a comfortable ride suitable for a big bike and a responsive dynamic performance. In addition, the seat is a large size that emphasizes a comfortable length and fit even when two people are riding or when luggage is loaded, and it is even easier to use by equipping luggage hooks in four places on the left and right. there is In addition, a center stand is standard equipment, and consideration is given to daily maintenance.
The brake is equipped with a double disc that combines a 310mm diameter floating disc and a different diameter 4-pot opposed piston caliper at the front, and a hydraulic disc at the rear. 120/70R18 59V, rear 170/60R18 73V) and lightweight hollow 3-spoke aluminum wheels are combined to create a full-fledged suspension that gives an image of powerful driving.
The design features a powerful and voluminous large-capacity (23L) fuel tank shape with smooth curves and surfaces, independent side covers, and a rear cowl that bounces up with a sense of dynamism, giving it a neat appearance. While expressing it, it has a unique form that is fearless and powerful that big bikes have.
The two-tone coloring of the fuel tank and rear cowl is a two-tone color scheme, with a combination of white and red for a vivid image, and a combination of black and grime for a fearless and calming look. It sets the type and widens the range of selection.

History of development
In 1987, of the 1,199,000 registered fully automatic motorcycles, the 750cc-plus class accounted for 12.4%, or 149,000 units. The growing popularity of big bikes was thought to be a reflection of the maturation of the Japanese motorcycle market and the growing number of users who longed for the high-status super-750cc class.
On the other hand, in 1989, an in-house designer who admired the CB series began making clay models on his own. Initially, it was viewed with strange eyes, but as the days passed, more and more people started to pay attention to it, so Honda Motor Co., Ltd. took a different approach to creating the CB series next-generation flagship model from conventional motorcycles. This model and the 1992 model were developed based on the PROJECT BIG-1 concept [Note 1], which started with the pursuit of an ideal bike image that fully recognizes the value as a status for the development staff who are also CB fans themselves. This is the CB400 Super Four released in April 2004.
Vehicle commentary
It adopted a double cradle type frame with a round cross section steel pipe with a large 23L capacity gasoline tank and a large body with a wide handle, but weight reduction was also considered by using aluminum materials for the swing arm and so on. For this reason, when you actually run it, it exhibits an unexpected lightness.
The engine is the SC21E water-cooled 4-stroke 4-valve DOHC 4-cylinder engine with a displacement of 998cc that was installed in the SC24-type CBR1000F. Equipped with SC30E type detuned to torque 8.6kgf・m/6,000rpm.
The front suspension uses a telescopic type with a 43mm diameter inner tube, and the rear suspension uses a damper with a reservoir tank.
Both the front and rear wheels are equipped with 18-inch hollow 3-spoke aluminum wheels. The tire size is 120/70-R18 for the front wheels and 170/60-R18 for the rear wheels.
In addition, the white x red paint produced throughout the year is very time-consuming, and the following painting processes are as follows.
- Paint the whole thing candy red
- Mask the part that will leave candy red and peel off everything else
- Leave the masking as it is and paint the peeled part with pearl white
- Finish by blowing clear on the whole
For this reason, the paint boundary step is lower in the candy red portion. In addition, in the successor CB1300 series, candy red was applied to the sheet instead of being painted, resulting in a significant cost reduction.

Export specifications for overseas
Although it was exported to Europe and North America, there are the following differences from the Japanese domestic specification.
- Drive chain size up from 525 to 530
- Carburetor throttle position sensor not installed
- The car name is simply CB1000.
- Coloring has a black monochromatic setting from the earliest model

The maximum output of the export specification for overseas is 98ps, but this is due to the difference in the measurement method and the voluntary output regulation [Note 5] that existed in Japan at the time, and in fact it is almost the same as the specification for the Japanese domestic market.
In March 1998, the model was changed to the successor CB1300 Super Four, and production and sales ended.
