A. 1981 Honda CB1100RB
A true homologation special and one of the most desirable collector Hondas ever made, this 1981 Honda CB1100R is an iconic piece of motorcycle history, and this example is an absolute stunner.
Built to allow Honda to go racing in endurance and production-based championships, the CB1100R was never a mass-market model. Just over 1,000 units of the CB1100RB were produced for global sale in 1981, making it exceptionally rare, especially in South Africa.
This example presents beautifully in its original red, white and blue livery, and showcases all the hallmarks of the first-generation R-series racer:
• 1,062cc DOHC inline-four engine
• Factory-rated at 115 hp
• 5-speed gearbox
• Chain drive
• Clip-on handlebars and full factory fairing
• Period-correct gold ComStar wheels
With just 12,270 km indicated on the odometer, this CB1100R is not only rare but also well-preserved. The bike’s condition is a testament to careful ownership and limited use. The distinctive front fairing and racing-inspired tail section remain in excellent shape, with only light age-related wear.
Honda’s CB1100R series is fast becoming one of the most collectible Japanese motorcycles of the early superbike era — and with values climbing steadily worldwide, this is an opportunity to secure a museum-grade machine with performance pedigree and visual presence.
B. 1982 Honda CB1100R RC
The CB1100R RC is the third evolution in Honda’s legendary R-series and one of the most desirable factory race replicas ever built. Produced in very limited numbers for homologation purposes, the RC refined the formula with sharper handling, revised bodywork, and updated graphics, making it a dominant force in early-‘80s production racing.
This 1982 example wears the RC’s signature red, white and blue livery with gold detailing and features the updated full fairing, red seat, and factory rearset controls. Powered by a 1,062cc DOHC inline-four producing 115hp, it’s paired with a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive.
Showing just over 57,000 km, this example is in striking visual condition and remains an icon of Honda’s race-bred engineering and design. These bikes were never mass-produced or widely sold, and today they are prized for their rarity, performance pedigree, and collectible status.
An exceptional opportunity to own a true piece of Honda’s factory racing history.
